Supermicro Open Hyperconverged Solution
Virtualization powered by Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure
Supermicro and Red Hat have partnered to develop a best-in-class solution based on industry-leading
BigTwin™ and Ultra SuperServers
®
powered by Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for
Virtualization (RHHI-V). RHHI-V integrates proven Red Hat Virtualization and Red Hat Software-
Defined Storage to provide an open-source, centrally-administered, and cost-effective integrated compute
and storage in a compact footprint for remote office, data center consolidation and enterprise edge
environments.
This Supermicro HCI solution leverages the advanced features of our line of SuperServers including
resource saving, high availability, high density, and high efficiency, delivering a fully optimized turnkey
HCI solution for fast and easy deployment and operation.

Flexible and Easy Deployment Options
Supermicro Ultra SuperServer and BigTwin server platforms provides a range of footprints for compute,
storage, and networking to right-size HCI deployments for your operation management requirements, for
example:
• Best performance density per rack unit: The 2U 4-node BigTwin model offers the highest
performance density per rack unit and additional power savings owing to shared power and
cooling.
• Storage density with granular scaling of nodes: The 2U Ultra offers flexibility, an attractive
HCI entry price, and highest number of drives for more storage per server node.
