A few reasons:
1) They are based in france, near a source of cheap power.
2) They are not big fat Xeons, they are Xeon-Ds, which are a quarter as hot than a e5-26xx.
3) https://www.supermicro.nl/products/nfo/Xeon-D.cfm https://www.supermicro.nl/products/nfo/Xeon-D.cfm
you can fit 12 servers in 3u. Plus they are dirt cheap, I assume ~$400-600 a unit.
- stu2010 10y agoInteresting. That's way cheaper than I was expecting, most higher than 4-core Xeon-D configurations are more like $1000/node. I'm seeing a 24 node 3U server for $16k. http://www.wiredzone.com/supermicro-multi-node-servers-microcloud-barebone-single-cpu-8-nodes-sys-5038md-h24trf-10026553 http://www.wiredzone.com/supermicro-multi-node-servers-micro...
