The most innovative Server designer and manufacturer in the market came out with a new series called ULTRA. Basically it means much more I/O's , much more CPU power, much more memory and storage on a 1U and a 2U server family. Based on the X10 , XEON  E5 V3 new Haswell –E with DDR4 , this family gives a new meaning to the word ULTRA.

This facility to add a large amount of add-on cards in this density creates multiple integrating opportunities, and takes a full scale advantage of the HASWELL-E GEN3 PCI-E interfaces. ULTRA means more I/O's, more memory, the most powerful CPU's in the new family, much more storage density, and a way more versatile storage combinations using NVME, SAS3, SATA and SATA dom for operating system's.

If we compare the other servers in the same family we can see, as always, the superiority of Supermicro in the ULTRA world compared to its competitors.

Ultra offers the most of everything that a powerful, versatile, general purpose server should offer. It can grow with your organization and adapt to changing organizational needs. Ultra is future-ready, with features that can be dded and optimized for your specific data center and enterprise environments. Ultra can handle a wide variety of robust computing workloads, with support for dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 CPUs up to 36 cores, 1.5TB DDR4-2133MHz in 24 DIMMs and up to 180W per CPU2. This combination of large onboard memory, high core count CPUs, and low latency NVMe caching, make this a best-in-class offering for virtualization.
