Supermicro Unveils Petascale Storage Server with NVIDIA Grace CPU New System Combines NVIDIA Power Efficient CPU with Supermicro’s Petascale Architecture GTC 2025 Conference — Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a Total IT Solution Provider for AI, Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, announced a new optimized storage server for high-performance software-defined storage workloads. This first-of-its-class storage server from a major Tier 1 provider utilizes Supermicro’s system design expertise to create a high-density storage server for software-defined workloads found in AI and ML training and inferencing, analytics and enterprise storage workloads. Supermicro worked closely with NVIDIA and WEKA to enable customers to create power-efficient high-performance storage systems for their AI factories. “The Supermicro Petascale server with the NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip highlights Supermicro’s focus on innovation and customer choice,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “We have developed the Petascale storage server using the NVIDIA Grace CPU with 144 Arm Neoverse V2 cores enabling high-performance I/O for software-defined storage workloads. We have demonstrated that the system can fully unleash the system’s PCIe Gen5 performance SSD bandwidth with linear scalability. Supermicro continues to bring to market the most advanced and optimized storage solutions available.” For more information about the new Grace Storage server, please visit www.supermicro.com/en/products/petascale-grace-storage. Utilizing Supermicro’s Building Block Solutions® system design strategy, the ARS-121L-NE316R 1U storage system incorporates a symmetrical architecture perfect for scaling AI workloads. The Supermicro Petascale storage server using the energy efficient NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip, supports 16 hot-swap EDSFF PCIe Gen5 E3.S NVMe drives enabling 983TB raw capacity using 61.44TB SSDs and a rack containing 40 systems provides 39.3PB of raw storage capacity. “We worked closely together on the development and testing of Supermicro’s storage server with NVIDIA Grace, giving storage software providers a range of hardware choices to meet different application requirements,” said Rob Davis, vice president of storage networking technology at NVIDIA. “This new storage server allows customers to benefit from NVIDIA’s innovations in both CPUs and DPUs to accelerate networking protocols, such as GPUDirect Storage, while using less power than comparable x86 servers.” Supermicro is collaborating with WEKA, a leader in high-performance storage software for AI, HPC and enterprise data management workloads. The combination of the 144 Arm cores, integrated 960GB of LPDDR5X on the CPU platform, and ability to support two NVIDIA BlueField-3 or ConnectX-8 SuperNICs will unleash the full performance of the WEKA® Data Platform’s zero-copy architecture, providing the highest performance with lower power utilization compared with x86-based systems. “WEKA is proud to be collaborating with Supermicro and NVIDIA in creating a high-performance solution optimized for enterprise AI and ML training, analytics, and inferencing,” said Nilesh Patel, Chief Product Officer at WEKA. “Initial testing of WEKA Data Platform software running on Supermicro’s petascale storage server with the NVIDIA Grace CPU-based pre-production cluster shows significant performance scaling and power efficiency.” For more information on the Supermicro storage solutions for AI, please visit: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/storage. Supermicro at GTC 2025 Supermicro and NVIDIA will present the new Petascale storage server using the Grace CPU in more detail at NVIDIA GTC in San Jose starting on March 17 in an On-Demand session (S74296).
