Product Overview
Building upon Supermicro's successful 1U Twin technology, the innovative 2U Twin² system architecture achieves breakthrough x86 server performance-per-watt (375 GFLOPS/kW, up to 25% net gain over other top tiers' 1U servers) to further satisfy the ever-increasing efficiency, density and low-TCO demands of today's high performance computing (HPC) clusters and data centers.
Building upon Supermicro's successful 1U Twin technology, the innovative 2U Twin² system architecture achieves breakthrough x86 server performance-per-watt (375 GFLOPS/kW, up to 25% net gain over other top tiers' 1U servers) to further satisfy the ever-increasing efficiency, density and low-TCO demands of today's high performance computing (HPC) clusters and data centers.
2U Twin² servers are compatible with existing and upcoming Supermicro twin boards, and they feature not only hot-swappable hard drives and power supplies, but also the computing nodes to facilitate easy installation and maintenance. For high availability, 2U Twin² servers also provide optional redundant power and three 3.5" hard drives per node for RAID 5 data protection.
