Introduction
Seeweb, part of the DHH Group (Dominion Hosting Holding), is a cloud computing provider thathas been providing high-quality IT solutions for almost 25 years. Seeweb operates data centers inboth Italy and Switzerland. Seeweb is committed to providing the latest server technology tocustomers in many eastern European countries and offers a wide range of services, including
various cloud servers, hosting options, security, and consulting.

Challenges
Seeweb needed to acquire state-of-the-art systems to offer new performance levels for theirincreasing base of customers that required high performance CPUs and GPUs. With theircustomer base growing, Seeweb recognized the need for more advanced servers that included
GPUs for HPC workloads. Many HPC applications can take advantage of the parallel processing
capabilities of a GPU and realized that systems that could accommodate multiple GPUs would
allow Seeweb to offer a wide range of options, depending on the users' requests. Seeweb alsoneeded to ensure that the power delivered to their racks could accommodate servers withmultiple GPUs per server and the latest CPU technology from Intel. With a new offering forcustomers, a new type of server was needed, and a high-density GPU server was required. Intel
CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs were determined to be the optimal combination of processing
technologies. Seeweb determined that for a competitive offering, 10 GPUs in a single server
would enable them to meet demanding customer SLAs and offer the flexibility to service morethan one customer on the same system simultaneously.

SOLUTION
Supermicro SYS-420GP-TNR•

Dual 3rd Gen Intel®
Xeon® Scalable
Processors•

Up to 10X NVIDIAQUADRO RTX 6000
and NVIDIA QUADRO
RTX-A6000

Seeweb decided that the Supermicro GPU server, the SYS-420GP-TNR, a GPU optimized serverwith dual 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, would be ideal for their customers'requirements. In addition, the unique ability to configure the Supermicro GPU server as a dualroot system enabled Seeweb the flexibility to assign workloads to the proper hardware based on
the resources needed.

Each of the servers contains up to 10 PCIe based GPUs. With five GPUs connected to each CPU,
each user on the system operates independently of the other user (note – a user can be aseparate application). The advantage is that Seeweb could assign multiple users to the system,
each using up to one-half of the GPUs. Seeweb has installed four servers per rack.

BENEFITS•

Faster and MoreComplete AI Workloads•Low Cost and can beeasily replicate

With the first use of the Supermicro SYS-420GP-TNR, Seeweb uses several NVIDIA GPUs. Theseinclude the NVIDIA QUADRO RTX 6000, the NVIDIA QUADRO RTX-A6000, the NVIDIA RTX-A30, andthe NVIDIA RTX-A100. These accelerators will be used for machine learning, computer vision, andother compute intensive applications. Six GPUs per machine were installed at first.

Benefits
Seeweb immediately saw the benefits of the new GPU servers from Supermicro. With the highdensity of the SYS-420GP-TNR servers, Seeweb could offer additional computing to its portfolioof highly optimized servers.
"After evaluating various suppliers for our new flagship Cloud Service dedicated to AI/ML/DL,
Seeweb decided to purchase Supermicro GPU servers that respond to all our needs. The GPU
density of the Supermicro systems gives us the required performance, flexibility, and lower
energy consumption that helps Seeweb to design the new Cloud Server GPU service with the© Copyright 2023 Supermicro

right market fit. We are extremely satisfied with both the performance of the Supermicro GPU
servers and our relationship with Supermicro" – Antonio Baldassarra, CEO at Seeweb
