"Our new SuperBlade solution can be a very cost-effective supercomputer. Now our customers can affordabely enable a personal supercomputer next to their desks with the same computing power previously only available via large server installations", stated Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "This optimized blade solution features 93% power supply efficiency, innovative and highly efficient thermal and cooling system designs, and industry-leading system performance-per-watt (290+ GFLOPS/kW), making it the greenest, most power-saving blade solution."

At an affordable price point, the highly efficient SuperBlade minimizes operating costs to provide the best total cost of ownership (TCO) solution available. This solution will particularly enable customers with a limited budget who need high-performance computing.

This supercomputer is ideal for scientists and researchers in life science, bioinformatics, physics, chemistry and similar fields of engineering and science. One example of a large SuperBlade deployment is the prestigious CERN Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, which selected the SuperBlade to upgrade the computing facilities for its monumental Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project.
