Supermicro, a leader in application-optimized, high performance server solutions, today participated in the inauguration ceremony for the famous CERN (one of the world's largest research labs) LHC (Large Hadron Collider) Project in Geneva. Supermicro's SuperBlade servers enable the LHC Project with superior computational performance, scalability, and energy efficiency.
"We are honored to have Supermicro's industry-leading blade server technology installed at the foundation of this monumental scientific research project," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "Our SuperBlade platforms deliver unsurpassed performance, computing density and energy efficiency, making them ideal for HPC clusters and data centers."
The LHC Project deploys Supermicro's award-winning SuperBlade servers. These optimized solutions empower Supermicro customers with the most advanced green server technology available, including 93%* peak power supply efficiency, innovative and highly efficient thermal and cooling system designs, and industry-leading performance-per-watt (290+ GFLOPS/kW*).
Earlier this year, Supermicro's SuperBlade won the Best Green Data Center Solution award at BladeSystems Insight 2008 held in Tucson, Arizona, May 12-14. Easy to deploy, easy to use, and offering the best price-to-performance and profit potential available, the SuperBlade was ranked number one by CRN over IBM and Dell in its latest blade product review.
