Supermicro intros MicroCloud server powered by AMD EPYC 4004 CPUs

Supermicro’s latest H13 server is powered by the AMD EPYC 4004 series processors introduced last month. Designated the Supermicro MicroCloud AS -3015MR-H10TNR, this server is designed to run cloud-native workloads for SMBs, corporate departments and branch offices, and hosted IT service providers. This new Supermicro MicroCloud server supports up to 10 nodes in a 3U form factor. In addition, as many as 16 enclosures can be loaded into a single track, providing a total of 160 individual nodes. The new server also supports high-performance peripherals with either two PCIe 4.0 x8 add-on cards or one x16 full-height, full-width GPU accelerator. System memory maxes out at 192GB. And the unit gets air-cooled by five heavy-duty fans. The AMD EPYC 4004 series processors bring an entry-level family of CPUs to AMD’s EPYC line. They’re designed for use in entry-level servers used by organizations that typically don’t require either hosting on the public cloud or more powerful server processors. Supermicro is also using the new AMD EPYC 4004 series processors to power three other server lines. That includes a 1U server designed for web hosting and SMB applications. A 2U server aimed specifically at companies in financial services. And towers intended for content creation, entry-level servers, workstations and even desktops.
