Supermicro Shipping SSG-1029P-NMR36L NVMe 1U AFA Up to 576TB

Super Micro Computer, Inc. announced that it is shipping an all-flash NVMe storage server optimized to support Samsung’s NF1 form factor SSDs.

Using one rack unit, the SSG-1029P-NMR36L storage server can house up to 576TB of all-flash storage via 36 front hot-swap NF1 form factor drive bays. The NF1 form factor (formerly known as NGSFF and sometimes as M.3) is designed for high capacity network storage applications that require latency performance. The optimized power profile of the hot-swap capable NF1 devices means more processing power can be reserved to drive IO with the fastest CPU and memory available.

“At Supermicro, we consistently offer our customers early access to the very latest and best technologies,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO, Supermicro. “Our 1U NF1 storage server features the most power efficient, next-generation flash technology with the highest storage density and best IO/s performance. This provides a real time-to-value competitive advantage for users with data-intensive workloads like big data, autonomous driving, AI, and HPC applications.“

“We are pleased to support Supermicro’s new solution with our new NF1 NVMe SSD solution for 288TB to 576TB per system, through which datacenter decision-makers can experience the most investment efficiency in their 1U systems,” said Kyoung Hwan Han, VP, NAND marketing, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. “We will continue to create new application markets such as next-generation data centers and enterprise systems by delivering storage solutions with unparalleled performance and density benefits.“

The all-flash 36-drive 1U system supports dual Xeon Scalable processors up to 205W (up to 56 cores) and 24 DIMMs for up to 3TB of system memory. This helps enable the system to deliver ten million IO/s of performance and 20GB/s of end-to-end network throughput. With support for two 16-lane PCIe high-performance network cards, this system provides sufficient network I/O bandwidth to drive the storage performance in software-defined storage environments and applications like data ingest and playback for analytics and AI.

For accessibility, the solution supports remote system on/off and system management, as well as remote power cycling for each drive.

This high-end all-flash 1U system is the latest addition to the company’s portfolio of industry storage servers and JBOD product lines. With 1U, 2U, 3U and 4U offerings, that include all-flash NVMe, double, double-sided and top-loading options with 12Gb SAS RAID or HBA controllers, the firm provides a selection of storage products to meet equirements.
