▲Kim Seong-min, Managing Director of Supermicro Korea, explains Supermicro's solutions.
Providing full-stack solutions including servers, storage, networks, cooling systems, and software.
Building block solutions, rack-scale solutions, and more provide increased flexibility, scalability, and operational efficiency.

"We support the construction of customized AI infrastructure by configuring systems optimized for AI workloads tailored to customer needs through building block solutions and rack-scale solutions, and by shortening complex installation processes."

Super Micro Computer, Inc. held a press conference at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul on the 24th and announced its integrated infrastructure strategy centered on 'Building Block Solutions'.

“We provide a full-stack solution encompassing servers, storage, networks, cooling systems, and software, and support the construction of customer-tailored AI infrastructure,” said Kim Sung-min, Managing Director of Supermicro Korea, who was in charge of the announcement that day.

Supermicro is a NASDAQ-listed company founded in the United States in 1993, with more than half of its 7,200 employees worldwide focused on research and development (R&D).

In particular, based on its long experience and technological prowess in the GPU-based AI server field, it is a global big tech company.It enjoys high trust from businesses and offers integrated solutions to companies considering AI adoption in Korea.

According to Managing Director Kim Sung-min, Supermicro's 'building block solution' is characterized by its modular design, from components inside servers to rack-unit systems and entire data center configurations.

Customers can configure their systems by selecting various components such as CPU, GPU, storage, and network cards according to their needs, just like assembling Lego blocks.

This approach maximizes flexibility and scalability, helping you build infrastructure optimized for rapidly changing AI workloads.

In particular, the 'Rack Scale Solution' provides servers, networks, and power systems in a single lab unit, allowing customers to implement a 'plug and play' environment that can be used immediately by simply connecting a network cable and power supply.

This greatly helps shorten the existing complex installation process and improve operational efficiency.

Additionally, to address the high heat generation issue of AI servers, Supermicro is actively adopting 'DLC (Direct Liquid Cooling)', a forward cooling technology.

Recently, 'DLC 2' was introduced, which expanded the cooling range compared to the existing DLC, and now covers over 98% of the components in the server with liquid cooling.

This can lower the power usage effectiveness (PUE) of the data center to 1.1, reducing power usage and cooling water consumption by 40% each.

Also, for customers who have difficulty introducing a roving server to their existing facilities, we provide a 'sidecar'ar)' solution is provided.

This device helps to use the latest circulating servers without separate piping construction, and can cover up to 200kW.

Supermicro demonstrates its strengths not only in hardware but also in software.

SuperCloud Composer provides OS deployment, system monitoring, and automated management capabilities, enabling seamless hardware and software integration. This allows customers to streamline complex system operations and maintain a stable AI infrastructure.

The company's global manufacturing capabilities are also noteworthy. With its headquarters in the US, the company operates production and design centers in Taiwan, the Netherlands, and Malaysia, with plans to expand production to Texas, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia in the future.

We are also strengthening our data center design and construction capabilities domestically, further solidifying our position in the AI infrastructure market.

“Building high-performance, high-efficiency infrastructure suited to the AI era is key to corporate competitiveness,” said Managing Director Kim Sung-min. “Supermicro’s building block solutions will set a new standard for the domestic data center market by providing flexible designs and integrated services that meet the diverse needs of customers.”
