Supermicros SuperBlade Systems differ in quite a few ways from traditional rackmount solutions. Highest density to compute power ratio, reduced administrative expenses, lower power consumption, optimal ROI amnd a high scalability. Also the acquisition cost may be lower than conventional systems. Next to offering a high density platform to rely on, SuperBlade Systems also offer an astonishing modularity. Wether it is the usage in a Datacenter or for your company to deploy remote workstations. Almost everything is possible. Second is the easy maintenance of your the SuperBlades as every Node is located on a hotswappable blade. This especially useful in the case of broken hardware like memory or a cpu. Locate the broken down blade get it out from your enclosure, replace the faulty component, put it back in and there you go your blade is online again.
SuperBlades off a wide variety of advantages offer competing products. These are a higher maximum compute density, reduced administration costs, reduced power usage, optimal ROI (return of investment) and a high scalability. As an extra is that the acquisition of SuperBlade can be cheaper than standard server systems.
Compared to Bladesystems made by other vendors Supermicro's SuperBlades are usable for a wide variety of work environments. This range is going from Enterprise and HPC usage to Data Center and Workstation workloads. This is made a possible by the wide variety of blades from which you can choose and all of this can be combined into a single enclosure.

Free-air cooling design for a low PUE1
1PUE is a unit for measuring the Power Usage Effectiveness. Lower values stand for more efficient servers, clusters or data centers.
sysGen recommends: Use our SuperBlade configurator, which allows you a guided, individual configuration of the selected enclosures and blades.
With SuperBlade® servers, you can help preserve not only our green planet, but keep red ink off your books with green cash savings. A SuperBlade server can save more than 100 watts over a traditional discrete 1U rack-mount server. These savings add up quickly when your SuperBlade chassis is fully populated with 10 servers. By eliminating the overhead in 1U discrete servers and using the high efficiency (up to 94%) power supplies, SuperBlade can save you more than $1,000 per year in power* for your servers and even more when you add the reduced cooling costs. At the same time, you will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by over 5.5 metric tons**, the equivalent of planting 1.7 acres of trees.* Your electricity costs will vary by location. ** According to Energy Information Agency (a statistical agency of the U.S. Department of Energy), saving one kilowatt hour of electricity reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 1.43 pounds.
