Supermicro SYS-220HE-FTNR Supermicro SYS-110D-20C

The Supermicro SYS-221HE-FTNR is a high-performance 2U dual-socket server equipped with the latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, offering exceptional compute density and versatile I/O capabilities. It supports multiple drive bays and PCIe lanes, making it ideal for edge data centers and industrial environments that require both processing power and flexible storage expansion.

The SYS-110D-20C, a compact 1U single-socket system, is optimized for edge deployments, offering essential power efficiency, reduced depth, and quiet operation, making it ideal for use in retail stores, remote branches, and space-constrained industrial locations. Despite its compact form factor, it delivers strong performance with up to 20 cores and supports a wide range of rich connectivity options.

The SYS-211SE-31A balances density (3 nodes) and expandability in a 2U short-depth design, making it an excellent choice for both edge and micro data centers. It provides a flexible platform for compute- and storage-intensive applications, with ample memory capacity and support for enterprise-class NVMe drives.

Use Cases

StorMagic and Supermicro deliver a powerful, cost-effective solution for industrial environments, enabling organizations to upgrade their infrastructure with high availability and minimal complexity.

StorMagic, running on Supermicro servers, ensures a smooth, uninterrupted transition to hyperconverged infrastructure. Businesses can repurpose existing SAN storage for backups while maintaining continuous operations.

Can be deployed as a single server, simple 2-node cluster, or multi-node cluster, with the flexibility to meet changing capacity and performance needs. This is achieved by adding additional capacity to existing servers or growing the cluster, without impacting service availability.

With StorMagic’s flexible licensing model and Supermicro’s scalable hardware, businesses can easily expand their compute and storage capacity without disruptions, adapting to future demands effortlessly.

StorMagic is both server-and hypervisor-agnostic, providing customers with flexibility at initial installation and over time as their needs change. Because StorMagic only requires two servers, it can dramatically reduce overall hardware requirements.

StorMagic synchronously mirrors data between Supermicro servers, eliminating single points of failure and ensuring high availability, uptime, and performance for mission-critical applications.

By processing and storing data locally, this solution reduces cloud storage costs while delivering the high availability and reliability modern industrial operations require.

The reliable, resilient solutions protect data, eliminating the threat of downtime. At the same time, the StorMagic licensing model enables additional compute and storage capacities to be increased without incurring increased costs or disruption.

Software-defined StorMagic requires much less power and cooling resources than traditional, physical SANs.

Conclusion

Combining StorMagic with Supermicro’s high-performance servers gives businesses a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective IT system. This collaboration simplifies operations, reduces hardware costs, and ensures zero downtime. Whether in remote locations, industrial sites, or enterprise data centers, organizations can easily upgrade their IT systems while maintaining smooth operations with high performance and reliability.

Summary

StorMagic and Supermicro have teamed up to create a simple, high-performance collaboration for edge computing. StorMagic and Supermicro’s servers work together to simplify IT operations, boost performance, and reduce costs.

Businesses can build a flexible system with fewer hardware requirements, high availability, and easy scaling. With features such as real-time data mirroring, energy-efficient storage, and the ability to replace traditional SANs, this solution provides enterprises, ROBOs, and SMBs with the tools to enhance their IT at the edge.
