Potential for 24 cores, 48 threads, and 12 memory channels...
[VR-Zone] Supermicro SuperServer 1026JTT-IBX First Look

Recently, Apple announced their Mac Pro with the yet-to-be announced Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processors. Basically, Mac Pro is powered by two Nehalem Xeon processors clocked at 2.93GHz where each processor has 4 cores and 8 threads capable with HT. Not to be outdone, Supermicro too has a SuperServer 1026JTT-IBX 1U server that supports four Nehalem Xeon processors onboard. Certainly, we would love to have that as a VR-Zone server

My supermicro server chassis has two rail-style PSUs on top of one another. I don't think they would have just one PSU on a system like that.
Thats a really cool setup, though. Kills my Clovertown setup bigtime.
And yes, those fans are SUPER HELLA loud.

I have had half a dozen of the previous model come through my labs. These servers were co-developed by SuperMicro and SGI (I only know this because of my engineer friends at sgi). SGI _wanted_ Infiniband built in onboard, but SuperMicro deems the infiniband obsolete technology. EDIT: Yes those fans are HELLA! loud! |

This would be sweet for encoding movies.

You have redundant power supplies in your server.
Trust me on this, the article is wrong (I know my supermicros...), there are 2 separate systems in that chassis. You can tell by the wiring that there are 2 i/o panels, 2 sata cable sets and 2 front panel cables for power,reset etc...
Here is the "official" SuperMicro page for the previous model;

Correct, I flew through the article and just took their comment wrong.
I have a few customers that use the Infiniband model and they have had no issues. Supermicro also has a 2U system with 4 motherboards...
I have played with the blade model using ROCKS to quickly setup a beefy little cluster. So easy my little sister could do it.
