Supermicro introduces Open Private Cloud solutions based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

Supermicro and Red Hat have collaborated to develop powerful open private cloud solutions based on Supermicro’s industry-leading SuperServer and SuperStorage systems as well as Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. With fully integrated hardware, software and support packages, these new solutions built with enterprise Kubernetes provide the ability to deploy and manage containers in an on-premises, private and hybrid cloud environment.

Supermicro open private cloud solutions based on Red Hat OpenShift utilise advanced features from Supermicro’s 2U BigTwin™ systems with four dual-processor server nodes and Simply Double SuperStorage systems supporting 24 hot-swap 3.5-inch hard drives in 2U. The cloud-optimised design enhances infrastructure efficiency by leveraging 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, high-performance NVMe and 25G Ethernet. These optimised solutions are designed for modern datacenters with easier deployment to improve OPEX. For demanding and complex applications such as AI (artificial intelligence) and Big Data, performance accelerated options are available to include Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory, GPU accelerators and 100GbE networking.

“Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is the culmination of four-plus years of hard work from Red Hat, the open source community and, of course, our partner ecosystem,” said Stefanie Chiras, vice president and general manager, Red Hat Enterprise Linux at Red Hat. “By collaborating with partners like Supermicro, we’re able to provide organisations with a foundation for the hybrid cloud that is ready to support a variety of enterprise technologies including new optimised cloud solutions that use Supermicro’s Resource-Saving server and storage systems.”
