4. Technology Evolution Supermicro’s Building Block Solutions
From MB, Chassis to Complete Rack w/ Pwr & Sys management
Fat Twin
Management SWR
Starting out in ‘93 we created our first motherboard – even back then we had three principles of Innovation, Energy Efficiency and Open Standards. Soon that MB lead to the creation of complimentary products such as chasis and power supplies. Bringing these various products together we developed our earliest server systems. This broad portfolio is what we now call our “Building Blocks”. Diversity into system level compliments such as storage and rack mount servers were subsequently developed, all leading to one of our most significant technically innovative breakthroughs in 2006 / 2007 – the Twin Architecture. Twin was disruptive. It was the first culmination of everything that Supermicro stands for: Innovation, Performance, Energy Efficiency and Open Standards / Platforms. The Twin Architecture is a central theme in much of SMC’s technology development today. We are proud to have announced at IDF in Sept. the launch of our Super Rack. – our SuperRack is in itself the most advanced and configurable (stand alone) Rack, but when deployed with a full suite of Supermicro Server Hardware solutions the user will enjoy unprecedented optimization and performance.
