Server Barebone Supermicro Storage SuperServer crni 4U

Data centers wrestling with explosive unstructured data growth need storage that scales without breaking the bank. The Supermicro SSG-542B-E1CR36H delivers exactly that: a 4U rackmount barebone engineered for software-defined storage, cloud storage, big data, and enterprise backup. Populate its dual LGA 3647 sockets with 1st or 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, load up to 6TB of DDR4 ECC memory, and you have a foundation built for heavy workloads.

Key specifications

• Form Factor: 4U Rackmount, black chassis
• CPU: Dual LGA 3647 sockets for Intel Xeon Scalable (1st/2nd Gen), Intel C621 chipset
• Memory: 24x DDR4 DIMM slots, up to 6TB ECC RDIMM/LRDIMM
• Storage: 45x 3.5" hot-swap SAS3/SATA3 bays (front) + 2x 2.5" hot-swap SATA3 bays (rear)
• Storage Controller: Broadcom 3616 SAS3 12Gb/s with HW RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
• Network: Dual 10GBase-T LAN (Intel X710-AT2)
• Expansion: 7x PCI-E 3.0 x8, 1x PCI-E 3.0 x16
• Management: IPMI 2.0 with KVM over IP
• Power: 2000W redundant Platinum (1+1)
• Cooling: 5x 8cm hot-swap fans + 2x 8cm rear exhaust fans

Why choose it

This barebone gives you the freedom to configure exactly the storage server you need. The 45 front bays offer massive raw capacity, while the rear 2.5" bays are perfect for boot drives or caching. Hardware RAID offloads parity calculations, and the dual 10GbE ports ensure data flows without bottlenecks. Redundant power and hot-swap cooling keep downtime at bay.

Ideal use cases

• Software-defined storage clusters (Ceph, Gluster, vSAN)
• Cloud storage and object storage platforms
• Big data analytics and Hadoop environments
• Enterprise backup and disaster recovery targets
• Virtualization and hyperconverged infrastructure

Good to know

The integrated Supermicro X11DPG-QT motherboard supports Intel Optane DC persistent memory for advanced caching. IPMI 2.0 with KVM over IP allows full remote management, including virtual media and power control. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 35°C, making it suitable for standard data center environments.
