San Jose, CA, September 18, 2007 – Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a leader in application optimized, high performance server solutions, today unveiled its OfficeBladeâ„¢ product in booth 209 at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF). This specially configured SuperBladeâ„¢ is optimized for quiet operation and energy savings and is ideal for office environments including departmental computing and personal supercomputer applications. Providing a preview of tomorrow’s technology today at IDF, Supermicro’s live SuperServer and SuperWorkstation systems feature upcoming Intel chipsets.

“Optimized for office environments, the OfficeBlade that we are demonstrating at IDF operates at less than 50 dB! With 10 DP blades featuring quad-core Xeon processors, Gigabit Ethernet switch, chassis management module and high-efficiency (93%) power supplies, the whole blade system only consumes 1500 watts of power,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “As our other live product implementations illustrate, Supermicro already has systems fully optimized for future technologies. We also have the most optimized servers on the market today with our 1U Twinâ„¢, Universal I/O (UIO) servers with Intel IOP348 I/O processor-based (Sunrise Lake) SAS RAID cards, and 4-way SuperServers that are optimized for quad-core Intelâ„¢ Xeonâ„¢ MP processors.”

Very cool, these new blades sound very interest and the quiet operation mode brings new opportunities to the platform, whether its for the small business, for testing those new applications or infrastructure configurations. I’ll need to take a look, it’s always great to see what the different vendors are offering in the blade space.
