Supermicro's patented Twin architecture revolutionizes server computing by integrating independent systems side-by-side within a single chassis, multiplying computing density while reducing solution costs through shared resources such as the chassis, fans, power supply, cabling, and rack-mount hardware. This innovative architecture incorporates optimized airflow designs, air wraps, and improved cabling, reducing fan speed and power consumption, resulting in improved energy utilization and overall energy efficiency. The 4U FatTwin is the latest addition to the evolving Twin architecture lineup and is available in 8/4/2 DP node configurations with high-capacity storage (eight hot-swap 3.5" HDDs per 1U or six hot-swap 2.5" HDDs per 1/2U). FatTwin achieves the highest performance per watt/per dollar with Supermicro X9 DP (dual processor) motherboards and Platinum Level (95%+) high redundant efficiency in digital connection power supplies. With its open air cooling designs and an extreme operating temperature range (0 degrees C - 47 degrees C) that does not require air conditioning, FatTwin helps data centers achieve the best energy efficiency of use (PUE < 1.1).
FatTwin is available in Node 8 DP (SYS-F617R2-R/F series) and Node 4 DP (SYS-F627R2/R3/G3-F/R series) SKUs with versatile configurations featuring:
