Trading servers go through a lot of changes on a regular basis as the ever-changing landscape for tick-to-trade latency continues to improve. CPUs, FPGAs, NICs, network stack enhancements, and choices of data centers with proximity to key systems, are just some of the elements of a trading server that need to be considered for optimal latency, which in the case of a trading server, means maximizing your yields.

With the number of drives available now and the amount of drive types, it’s hard to say which disk setup is optimal for you. Our RAID calculator is a great way to determine the size and amount of disks. Here we’ll talk through some of the pros and cons of some of the RAID modes.

GPU cloud computing is becoming an ever more important part of day-to-day computing life. There are more and more use cases because of the advantages GPUs have over CPUs for particular workloads. We’ve put together a list of GPUs that NVIDIA has here for data center workloads and what they are good for.

Building a GPU cloud can be a timely and expensive experience. There is a mixture of software and hardware you need to put together that makes an optimal GPU cloud.

There are lots of GPU choices depending on your use case and use cases vary wildly. Whether you are a home user gaming or a datacenter trying to machine learn 24/7, the use cases vary. 

There are many drive types and many RAID modes available on the market today. There are pros and cons to every RAID mode and there are also benefits to onboard RAID as well as a hardware RAID card. On our RAID calculator page we list out the pros and cons to each mode, which are also listed below:

SuperMicro has many solutions available and with such a wide net for building our private cloud deployments, it’s important to put together the right pieces. We’ve teamed up with Supermicro to deliver high-performance hardware solutions that are optimized for on-premise, private cloud infrastructure.

Building out a GPU server can be a daunting and expensive process. With GPU servers becoming more and more popular in data center environments as well as use cases continuing to grow in size, pricing out the right GPU server is important.

Our team is excited to attend this year’s SIGGRAPH event, the premier conference & exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques.
