Supermicro has a really strong tradition in the server world, the company building such products for more then 17 years, and the Intel Developer Forum is the setting chosen by Supermicro in order to launch their latest SuperRack solution that offers a modular design with more then 100 optional components to choose from.

Designed so it can provide clean cable routing and maximum airflow, this new rack can support an impressive static load of 5,000 pounds (or about 2,268 kg) thanks to a sturdy, fully welded construction using EIA standard 310D hardware.

This makes the SuperRack an appropriate solution for installing high-density server, storage and blade systems, the modular approach offering a wide range of flexible accessory options including front, rear and side expansion units to provide modular solutions for nearly any system configuration.

"Our SuperRack is equipped for easy and cost-effective customization to fulfill almost any customer rack requirements.  

In fact, loading a SuperRack with our 2U Twin2 (Squared) servers or Double-Sided Storage systems provides unbeatable configurations with extremely convenient and easy access to the rear side hot-swappable compute nodes, hard drives and power supplies for unmatched ease of maintenance," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro.

Pricing hasn't been announced but I suspect the SuperRack won't come so cheap.

However, being modular means that you won't have to pay for features that you don't need and the rack can be expanded according to your needs.
