Super Micro Computer, Inc. will unveil its new 2U Twin2 (Twin Squared) family of servers at CeBIT 2009 in Hannover, Germany, March 3-8. Building on its 1U Twin server technology, Supermicro’s high-density 2U 2U Twin2 architecture achieves breakthrough x86 server performance-per-watt and performance-per-dollar while facilitating easy maintenance.
The optimized 93%+ high-efficiency power supply, the newly designed CPU cooling components/air channel and the updated motherboard voltage regulator module (VRM) designs contribute to the performance-per-watt numbers.
The hot-swappable modular design of the 2U Twin2 facilitates easy system upgrade, installation and maintenance. Each node maintains independent full-function system control and management with its own front control panel with UID and three hot-swap 3.5-in. hard drive trays. The servers are compatible with nearly all Supermicro twin motherboards, including boards based on six current Intel and AMD chipsets as well as the upcoming Intel Xeon platform.
