New Supermicro NF1 Storage

Next Generation Storage Available Today

The NF1 storage server starts with a no-compromise motherboard featuring dual Intel™ Xeon™Scalable processors up to 205W, which provide up to 56 cores, and 24 DIMMs for 3 TB of system memory. It has a switched PCI-E architecture that supports 32 NF1 devices as well as four additional hybrid device slots which can be NVMe or SATA with M.2 connections. Besides, it provides the best cost per GB among all-flash systems. While many All-Flash systems are available, Supermicro’s NF1 server is different in both its media density and overall end-to-end architecture, making it perfect for high capacity network edge applications.

For example, next-generation 5G mobile service providers need more storage capacity closer to their customers to deliver the best user experience. All these Features make dedicated All-Flash scale-out storage the topology of choice.

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership

With the optimal thermal design, NF1 server can support more flash devices, while consuming less power, (greater overall efficiency) in turn enabling the use of more powerful CPUs and Memory. This delivers the best/price performance All-Flash platform available. And all of this in a system with only 30” of rack depth making deployment easy in any size rack.

Balanced System Design

The balanced system architecture divides resources evenly across CPU, networking, and storage, this enables users to pin and provision IO resources for the lowest latency path from external clients to the NF1 storage devices.

On the front end, with 2 PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots, the highest performing network interface cards can be used to push NVMe performance. This system is also available with support for 100 GbE, as well as Infiniband and Omni-Path, for those organizations that require the absolute highest performance.
