Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), a global leader in enterprise computing, storage, networking, and green computing technology, is doubling its manufacturing capacity to meet worldwide server and storage demand as Cloud, AI, and 5G/Edge drives unprecedented growth in new data and applications. Expansion at both the US and Taiwan campuses is near completion, with full production targeted for Summer 2021.



"Supermicro is investing in the future of the data center, whether on-premises or for public clouds," said Charles Liang, president, and CEO, Supermicro. "With this expansion of our manufacturing capability, we will be able to quickly ship large quantities of individual servers or within fully tested racks directly to our customers. We will have worldwide coverage and capacity to meet the increasing demand for servers and storage systems as more enterprises continue their digital transformation."

The new manufacturing facilities will enable Supermicro to keep costs low by leveraging US design excellence with lower-cost manufacturing in Taiwan.
