Supermicro delivered a second-generation integrated computing system for 3D/metaverse workloads powered by Nvidia's new L40 GPU.

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global leader in enterprise computing, storage, GPUs, networking solutions, and green computing technology, announced that it is extending its lead in accelerated compute infrastructure by being first to market with the second-generation NVIDIA OVX systems. According to Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro, "Supermicro is again leading the industry by being first to market with the second generation OVX server. Our most demanding customers require the integration of the fastest CPUs and GPUs for low-latency, immersive experiences. Our OVX server is designed for creating and operating the most complex Omniverse Enterprise applications at scale."

The Supermicro OVX server is based on the new L40 GPU and is available in multiple configurations, including a 4U 8GPU server with dual Intel CPUs, 32 DIMMs, 8TB of memory, 12 PCI-E slots, and up to 24 drive bays. The product line also includes a 4U 4GPU rackmount/workstation, a 2U system with up to 6GPUs, a 1U 4GPU configuration, and a multi-node 2U 2Node system. Next-generation Supermicro systems leveraging the L40 GPU will include additional 4U 8GPU and 4U 4GPU servers, along with 2U and 1U servers and workstations. Each Supermicro OVX server is powered by up to eight NVIDIA L40 GPUs and combines these GPUs with three NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNICs, high-performance CPUs, and NVMe storage in a unified platform.

These new servers deliver graphics, AI, and network performance required to build and operate immersive 3D virtual worlds. OVX systems from Supermicro are purpose-built for creating and managing NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise applications at data center scale and combine advanced NVIDIA RTX-accelerated graphics and AI capabilities with high-speed, secure networking and enterprise-grade management. The systems leverage the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture to accelerate Omniverse workloads and are ideal for supporting the creation of graphically rich and physically accurate virtual worlds. Kevin Connors, vice president of OEM accounts at NVIDIA, stated: "Supermicro OVX servers are computing systems purpose built for creating and operating NVIDIA Omniverse applications at data center scale. This second-generation Supermicro OVX server is optimized to power the creation and operation of immersive, photorealistic 3D models, simulations, and digital twins."
