SAN JOSE, CA, Mar 2, 2026 – Supermicro has introduced a high-density MicroBlade server platform powered by the latest AMD EPYC 4005 series processors. The blade server architecture supports both current and earlier EPYC 4005 chips, giving organizations flexibility as compute needs grow. The system is built for density-focused deployments and long-term infrastructure planning.
“Our flexible blade architecture enables customers to mix different node types with different CPUs within a single enclosure and can incorporate up to 320 server nodes in a standard 48U rack,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “Supermicro continues to lead the industry in delivering advanced, energy-efficient platforms to market that maximize scalability, lower total cost of ownership, and protecting data center investments for the long term.”
The 6U system supports up to 40 nodes in a single enclosure, providing high compute density and energy efficiency for scale-out and multi-tenant deployments. The platform is optimized for a range of workloads, including:
- Cloud & Virtualization: Ideal for multi-tenant web hosting and small Virtual Private Server (VPS) instances.
- Modern Infrastructure: Kubernetes and microservices platforms, including API services and web front ends.
- Enterprise & Edge: Departmental private clouds and edge deployments requiring high density in limited spaces.
- Data Services: Object storage gateways and high-efficiency data processing.
- Specialized Compute: Job-splitting simulations, e-commerce platforms, and cybersecurity applications.
The MicroBlade system uses single-socket nodes based on AMD EPYC 4005 series processors, each with two DDR5 ECC UDIMM slots operating at up to 5600 MT/s. Each node includes two PCIe Gen5 E1.S SSDs and one M.2 SSD. Networking integrates dual-port 25GbE through Broadcom BCM57414. Security and management features include TPM 2.0, signed firmware, hardware root of trust, IPMI 2.0, KVM over IP and Redfish API support. The platform supports mixed single-wide and double-wide node configurations within the same enclosure. Two 25G Ethernet switches with 100G uplinks provide enclosure-level connectivity.
For system-level control, the MicroBlade chassis management module (CMM) manages server blades, power supplies, cooling fans and network switches remotely. Administrators can apply power caps, allocate power to each blade and reset systems. The module provides BIOS and console access using Serial over LAN (SOL) or embedded KVM. The controller runs on a separate processor, enabling monitoring and management functions independent of the CPU and system power state.
