Supermicro FatTwin™ Power Savings
■The Supermicro FatTwin™ is the latest addition to Supermicro's evolving line of Twin server solutions. The FatTwin™ greatly expands compute and storage capacities beyond Supermicro's existing 2U Twin²® and 2U Twin SuperServer® systems to achieve increased performance with lower power consumption. The FatTwin™ was designed to realize extremely low PUE in data centers and significantly reduce electric power costs even in free-air cooled environments. Due to its shared components the FatTwin™ improves reliability and TCO, while its modular design greatly increases its configurability, serviceability and maintainability.
■The FatTwin™ is available in high-density 8/4/2 hot-plug system node configurations with a choice of memory capacities, number of hard disk drives, front or rear I/O, PCI and networking options, and 1280W and 1620W Platinum Level power supplies. These many options allow the FatTwin™ to be optimized for customer-specific environments. For example, high-performance applications requiring 16 DIMMs and high-power CPUs can be fully supported with the FatTwin™ model utilizing fully redundant 1620W power supplies, while competitive systems do not have this capability. The FatTwin's high-efficiency, highly effective shared cooling architecture allows it to operate in high-temperature, free-air cooled environments up to 47°C, providing considerable cost savings and improved TCO. The FatTwin™ offers versatile configurations and high-temperature support with cost, power, and space savings, effectively targeting Data Centers, Cloud Computing, and HPC; Engineering, Research, and GPU projects; File and Storage Server deployments, and General Server and Enterprise Server applications.
■The reference system used in this study was a competitor's 2U 4-node server H2312WPJR. The system is integrated with four server board units, supporting up to twelve 3.5"hot-swap SATA hard drives, with redundant power supplies.
■The power utilization of the Supermicro FatTwin™, 2U Twin²®, and H2312WPJR systems were measured under identical operating conditions and configurations, utilizing the High Performance LINPACK (HPL) benchmark. Continuous power measurements of idle, average, and peak power values were recorded via power meters. From the measurement results, the Supermicro FatTwin™ and 2U Twin²® power savings were calculated.
