-- Wide Array of Server, Blade, Storage, and Networking Solutions Offer Increased Performance, Density, and Energy Efficiency Optimized for Production and Distribution of HD, 4K/8K UHD Digital Media

LAS VEGAS, April 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a global leader in high-performance, high-efficiency server, storage technology, and green computing debuts its new extreme density 4U 90x hot-swap bay SuperStorage platform alongside a wide range of high performance server, storage and networking solutions for the Broadcast Media Industry this week at NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The new 4U JBOD storage chassis supports up to 90x 3.5" 8TB HDDs for 720TB of SAS3, 12Gb/s performance in an easily serviceable top-load hot-swap architecture. Dual hot-swap expander modules featuring 4x Mini-SAS HD ports maximize throughput and failover redundancy for media streaming, nearline and archive storage applications. With 4K 60p Ultra High-Definition hitting mainstream and 8K 120p UHD on the horizon, all aspects of broadcast media production, from capture, editing, and CG/VFX, to encoding/transcoding, streaming and archiving will drive demand for the most extreme levels of compute, storage and network performance.
