Supermicro Debuts SuperStorage System With 90 12Gb SAS 3.5-Inch HDDs

Super Micro Computer, Inc. announced 4U 90 x hot-swap bay SuperStorage platform alongside a range of performance server, storage and networking solutions for the broadcast media industry.

The 4U JBOD storage chassis supports up to 90x 3.5″ 8TB HDDs for 720TB of SAS3, 12Gb/s performance in a serviceable top-load hot-swap architecture. Dual hot-swap expander modules featuring 4x mini-SAS HD ports maximize throughput and failover redundancy for media streaming, nearline and archive storage applications. With 4K 60p Ultra High-Definition (UHD) hitting mainstream and 8K 120p UHD on the horizon, all aspects of broadcast media production, from capture, editing, and CG/VFX, to encoding/transcoding, streaming and archiving will drive demand for the most extreme levels of compute, storage and network performance.

“Supermicro Green Computing solutions address the most extreme digital workload challenges facing the Broadcast industry with maximum performance, density, and energy efficiency,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO, Supermicro. “Solutions such as our new 4U 90 top-load hot-swap 3.5″ HDD SuperStorage or 1U 12 x 3.5″ direct attached 10GbE storage are unrivaled in density, performance and scalability for uncompressed media. And our 1U 4x GPU systems deliver the raw compute power for visual effects, rendering and transcoding. As the entertainment industry shifts to UHD media, Supermicro has exactly the best compute, storage, and network solutions available for studios to achieve lowest TCO through optimum performance per watt, per square foot, per dollar.“
