The Sandy Bridge based Xeon E5-2600 processors were launched by Intel yesterday, and Supermicro wasn't far behind in launching a host of solutions supporting / based on these processors. The new generation X9 Xeon E5 family based platforms offer a number of improved features over previous offerings from Supermicro, including but not limited to:
- Support for up to 768 GB of DDR3-1600 MHz memory in 24 DIMM slots
- SATA 3.0 and SAS 2.0 (6 Gbps) support
- ConnectX FDR/QDR InfiniBand ports
- Dual 10 GbE Ethernet / Quad Ethernet LAN
- PCIe 3.0
- LSI 2008 (Software RAID) and LSI 2108 (Hardware RAID) controllers
More than 100 product platforms have been updated / newly created by Supermicro for the new Xeon E5 processor family.
Supermicro's X9 solutions can be broadly divided into the following categories:
- Supermicro Servers
- Supermicro Serverboards
- Supermicro SuperBlade
The servers are built around the boards in the second category, and just build upon the existing chassis / PSU combinations. The SuperBlade configurations and some of the serverboards in the X9 generation have only been announced on paper.
The table below summarizes the specifications of Supermicro's single socket LGA2011 serverboards which are currently available.
