The Supermicro MicroCloud server product family utilizes Supermicro's industry-proven design, scalable up to 10 CPU nodes or up to 5 CPU + GPU node per chassis. Supermicro is adding the AMD EPYC 4005 Series CPUs to its latest portfolio of entry class data center solutions supporting a wide range of systems, from 1U, 2U, and Tower systems, as well as the innovative 3U multi-node Supermicro MicroCloud servers. With up to 10 server nodes in only 3U of rack space, customers can increase their computing density by over 3.3x compared to industry standard 1U rackmount servers. The new AMD EPYC 4005 Series CPUs offer up to 16 cores and clock speeds up to 5.7 GHz— enabling options to support high-performance peripherals through two PCIe 5.0 x8 add-on cards or one x16 full-height full-width GPU. This 3U multi-node Supermicro MicroCloud system with its space-saving design and low power consumption, is optimized for web and dedicated hosting, cloud gaming, and content delivery networks.
"Supermicro and AMD have been collaborating since the 1st Gen EPYC™ 4000 series products, and it's incredible to see the strides we've made together in our newest EPYC™ 4005 Series CPUs combined with Supermicro's MicroCloud servers for demanding enterprise cloud and AI driven workloads," said Derek Dicker, corporate vice president, Enterprise and HPC Business, AMD. "We work closely with Supermicro and other partners to develop differentiated processors for cost-effective enterprise solutions. The memory and I/O feature sets, combined with our latest 'Zen 5' architecture, give our technology partners the flexibility to create powerful yet affordable systems that meet the specific needs of growing businesses and data centers."
"As organizations look to do more with less, especially in environments dealing with space and power constraints, solutions like Supermicro's MicroCloud powered by AMD's EPYC 4005 Series Processors stand out for their ability to drastically improve compute density without sacrificing performance," said Alvin Nguyen, Senior Analyst at Forrester. "This type of multi-node, modular architecture is particularly well-suited for IT service providers and SMBs looking to save on data center rack space, reduce power, and lower overall TCO, as well as scale efficiently across workloads."
Supermicro's servers provide dedicated server platforms for businesses or service providers looking to expand new opportunities with powerful, AI-driven, solutions that are energy and space saving with features like shared power and cooling. AMD EPYC™ 4005 Series Processors with highly efficient "Zen 5" core architecture include processor core counts from 6 to 16 cores, TDP as low as 65W, and include a model that features integrated AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology for larger L3 cache and lower latency. With dual channels of fast DDR5 memory (up to 192GB capacity), and 28 lanes of PCIe® Gen 5 expandability, these processors provide a low power and high-density platform supporting a broad set of everyday and all-day business processing needs.
These servers are designed for small and medium businesses, departmental and branch office server customers, and hosted IT service providers based on its compelling combination of affordability, performance, and ease of management. AMD EPYC 4005 Series processors are built to deliver strong general-purpose server workload performance in a streamlined, single-socket package.
