Supermicro introduces highdensity and cost optimised solutions powered by AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors

Supermicro – a total IT solution provider for AI , cloud , storage and 5G / Edge – has announced additions to the AMD based H13 generation of CPU Servers , optimised to deliver a balance of performance and efficiency and powered by the AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors .

Supermicro will feature its new MicroCloud multi-node solution , which supports up to 10 nodes in a 3U form factor . This very high-density option is designed for cloud-native workloads .
“ Supermicro continues to offer innovative solutions for a wide range of applications , and with this new entry , based on the AMD EPYC 4004 processor , we can address the needs of onpremises or cloud service providers who need a cost-effective solution in a compact form factor ,” said Charles Liang , President and CEO , Supermicro . “ In a single rack , 160 individual nodes can be made available for cloud-native applications , which reduces real estate need and decreases a data centre TCO .”
Supermicro is one of the first to market for AMD EPYC 4004 CPUs , which support a wide range of solutions , from 1U , 2U , and Tower systems to the new 3U multi-node MicroCloud enclosure . With 10 servers in 3U of rack space , customers can increase their computing density by over 3.3x compared to industry standard 1U rackmount servers . efficient ‘ Zen4 ’ core architecture into an expanded range of new entry-level server system designs .
Utilising the tried-and-true AM5 socket and feature from 4-16 SMT-capable ( Simultaneous Multithreading ), energy-efficient ‘ Zen4 ’ processor cores , enabling needed performance in costefficient system designs , allowing deployment with limited IT support in low-density business computing environments such as medical , retail , telco and other office-type settings .
“ Supermicro continues to work closely with AMD to bring the latest CPUs to customers in a wide range of markets ,” said John Morris , Corporate Vice President , Enterprise and HPC Business Group , AMD . “ Our AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors are an ideal fit for Supermicro rack mount servers and the new , innovative MicroCloud . Customers can get a tremendous density per rack with the new processors and Supermicro ’ s form factors designed for cloud-native and scale-out environments . We look forward to continued success as we bring new solutions to the market .”
These server systems are designed to appeal to small and medium businesses , departmental and branch office server customers , and hosted IT service providers . �
The new 3U server provide unprecedented density and optimised power and cooling through Supermicro ’ s proven modular design , which also supports high-performance peripherals through two PCIe 5.0 x8 add-on cards or one x16 fullheight full-width GPU . This 3U multinode MicroCloud system offers a space-saving design and low power consumption optimised for web and dedicated hosting , cloud gaming and content delivery networks .
Supermicro ’ s servers , powered by AMD EPYC 4004 CPUs , provide the ideal server platform for small to mid-sized businesses looking to expand into new opportunities with powerful computing and compact design .
AMD EPYC 4004 Processors extend the established high-performance , highly
