According to the company, the new TwinBlade system doubles the number of dual-processor compute nodes per 7U enclosure to 20 (28) for an incredibly dense and cost-effective 0.35U (0.25U) per node. As mentioned in the company's news release, another product being displayed at CeBIT is Supermicro's Double-Sided Storage system, with redundant
platinum level power supplies, the SC847 series server chassis feature 36 hot-swap 3.5" hard drive trays.
"For maximum density and computational performance, the TwinBlade supports up to 20 dual-socket server blades per 7U enclosure, enabling up to 2,880 processing cores per 42U rack. Combined with dual 40Gb/s InfiniBand, FCoE or 10GbE switches and dual 1/10GbE switches in one 7U enclosure, TwinBlade provides the highest performing I/O throughput and scalability in the industry and is a superb solution for high-performance computing (HPC), datacenter, enterprise and cloud computing environments. With successful deployments at CERN, PRACE, and other Fortune 100 organizations, SuperBlade has already become the preferred solution for a wide range of mission-critical applications."
