Supermicro, Inc. is delivering a high-throughput, low latency E3.S storage solutions supporting PCIe Gen5 drives and CXL modules to meet the demands of large AI training and HPC clusters, where massive amounts of unstructured data must be delivered to the GPUs and CPUs to achieve faster results.

The company’s Petascale systems are a new class of storage servers supporting the industry standard E3.S (7.5mm) Gen 5 NVMe drives from leading storage vendors for up to 256TB of high throughput, low latency storage in 1U or up to a 1/2 PB in 2U.

Inside, The firm’s symmetrical architecture reduced latency by ensuring the shortest signal paths for data and maximized airflow over critical components, allowing them to run at optimal speeds. With these systems, a standard rack can now hold over 20PB of capacity for high throughput NVMe-oF configurations, ensuring that GPUs remain saturated with data. Systems are available with the 4th Gen Xeon Scalable processors or 4th Gen EPYC processors.
