We use supermicro servers at our main datacenter in Florida. We have our core platform running over 400+ of these servers, including our private cloud. We have a lot of applications running, from basic sites, to more complex applications.
- Good IPMI management, detailed information
- Their Redfish API is also a good tool to configure/retrieve information from the servers, good for scalability
- Documentation Online for new updates is up to date (BIOS/FW)
- Their support could be better, it is not the fastest we've got in touch with
- We have seen strange behaviour on some of their servers, it's better to check if the OS you will be running is supported on their support matrix first
