Supermicro and Nexenta X10 Reference Architectures (RAs) are based on the powerful Supermicro 2U Ultra server as the head node and the high-density dual channel SAS3 JBODs as storage shelves. Supermicro 2U Ultra server platforms are designed for extreme performance, capacity and expandability. With superb chassis and thermal design, Ultra can support the highest Xeon processors (160W TDP), extremely large memory (1.5TB maximum) and can handle multiple (8x PCI-E slots) SAS HBAs, 10G NIC and FC adapters with ease. Ultra is also built with Titanium level (96%) power supplies with maximum power efficiency.
