SAN JOSE, Calif., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Super Micro Computer, Inc. , a worldwide leader in application optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced volume shipping of its new SuperBlade(TM) product line. With industry-leading power efficiency, the SuperBlade architecture supports current and next generation processors at all speeds. For instance, a fully loaded 10 DP blade system using quad-core Xeon L5310 or L5320 processors consumes less than 2,700 watts at maximum performance and still maintains the flexibility to support 4P blades at maximum frequency. SuperBlade supports the latest dual-processor (2P) quad-core and dual-core Intel Xeon(TM) processors as well as quad-processor (4P) AMD Opteron(TM) CPUs. Supermicro Server Building Block Solutions(R) provide versatile hot-swappable configuration flexibility for the enterprise, datacenter, high performance computing (HPC), and office computing environments.

We often hear about Dell/HP/IBM blades etc, but there are many other vendors with interesting blade solutions, this article is talking about Super Micro’s blades. It’s mentioning in particular their energy efficient power supply – energy efficiency of the blade, the blade enclosure are always open to debate, in the meantime, it’s always good to know what’s available on the market place; it also allows me to ask Sun or Dell for example what are you doing about energy efficiency in your blades? (Next time I see them anyway).
