The 4U 8 GPU Servers are Part of Turn-Key System Cluster that Delivers up to 11 Petaflops of Computing Power for Cutting-Edge Research

SAN JOSE, California, Oct. 7, 2020 — Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a global leader in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, today announced that LLNL selected Supermicro to provide additional computing capacity and resources for scientists working to find a cure for COVID-19. Supermicro’s 4U 8 GPU servers for this cluster equipped with nearly 1,000 AMD Radeon Instinct™ MI50 graphics accelerators and, combined with AMD’s state-of-the-art EPYC™ 7002 CPUs, expands the cluster to deliver up to 11 Petaflops of computing power for advanced computational workloads.


"Our market-leading 4U 8-GPU servers are optimized for low-latency accelerators performance that leverage our flexible server Building Block Solutions® approach, which enabled LLNL to customize their cluster requirements," said Charles Liang, president, and CEO of Supermicro. "We are extremely pleased to be working with LLNL to help researchers and scientists find a vaccine for the devastating COVID-19 global pandemic—one of the most critical issues facing society. It’s a great pleasure to work with leading organizations requiring high-performance computing (HPC) clusters and machine learning technology to perform advanced computational workloads and conduct groundbreaking research."  

The US Department of Energy is expanding the Corona supercomputer — named for the total solar eclipse of 2017 — with funding from the Corona Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The additional computing power is allowing researchers to better handle the computationally intensive molecular dynamics simulations, which are critical to finding a cure.

"The Corona system is a major advance in our capability for predictive biomedical modeling for COVID-19," said LLNL Deputy Associate Director for Programs Jim Brase, who heads the Lab’s COVID-19 research and rapid response effort. "It allows us to develop advanced simulations of the structure and function of the virus and to use largescale machine learning to discover and optimize new therapeutics. This performance boost will help the Corona system lead the way in accelerating pandemic response."  

"We are excited to collaborate with Supermicro to deliver advanced, AMD-based high-performance computing (HPC) systems to LLNL for pandemic research," said Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general manager of the Datacenter and Embedded Solutions Business Group at AMD. "Our AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Radeon Instinct GPUs will enable scientists to leverage new compute capacity for computational workloads in genomics, vaccine development, and other scientific disciplines."

INVITE Systems launches Huawei COLO data center amidst COVID-19

Leave a comment

BUCHAREST, Romania, Sept. 28, 2020 — The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sudden surge in demand for online services in Romania, from gaming and videos to live broadcasts. This threatened to overwhelm INVITE Systems’ platform capabilities and the company needed to quickly deploy a new data center to meet the burst requirements of enterprise customers specializing in games and videos. At last, INVITE Systems has selected Huawei, a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, as a partner to help transform the space into a modern, highly reliable data center.

"By working with Huawei, INVITE Systems SRL was able to keep growing its business at a rapid pace despite the challenges of the pandemic. This provided positive support for the company’s profitability, giving us full confidence in the future of our company," said Alexandru Catrin, CIO of INVITE Systems SRL

Discover How Huawei Helped to Build a COLO Data Center

While, in the past, the planning and approval process for a new data center proved extremely time-consuming – involving multiple vendors designing and coordinating work for each subsystem, vastly increasing the complexity and time needed.

For its new data center, however, the only space INVITE Systems had available was the canteen. While the structure itself was sufficiently sturdy, space was limited and there were no raised floors. The company needed to fit as many Information Technology (IT) devices into the space as possible.

Easy Site Selection, Fast Deployment

Huawei’s intelligent FusionModule2000 solution, which is fully modularized and integrated, enables fast deployment. The device does not need to be installed on a raised floor, simplifying site selection in general and, in this particular case, overcoming the physical constraints of the canteen.

"Huawei FusionModule2000 shortened the rollout time of our new data center by more than two months, from preparation to installation and overall commissioning. Much to my surprise, deployment was completed in just one month, exceeding all our expectations."  Alex said.

Saving Space: SmartLi UPS

Huawei deployed a cutting-edge intelligent lithium battery solution – Huawei SmartLi Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) -the physical footprint is dramatically reduced, by 70%, compared to traditional lead-acid alternatives. This made it possible to leave the main area as a modular equipment room and ensuring sufficient space for expansion.

Founded in 2000, Romania’s INVITE Systems SRL has grown rapidly since 2005. Today, it stands as one of the country’s most important network service providers in the Virtual Private Network (VPN) field. And, as one of the first network service providers to introduce digital hosting services, INVITE Systems has also led the industry, not simply followed.

About Huawei

Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. With integrated solutions across four key domains – telecom networks, IT, smart devices, and cloud services – we are committed to bringing digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world.

Huawei’s end-to-end portfolio of products, solutions and services are both competitive and secure. Through open collaboration with ecosystem partners, we create lasting value for our customers, working to empower people, enrich home life, and inspire innovation in organizations of all shapes and sizes.

At Huawei, innovation focuses on customer needs. We invest heavily in basic research, concentrating on technological breakthroughs that drive the world forward.
