Server Motherboards

Microtronica carries Supermicro and Intel server motherboards. Intel’s product line in this area consists of single- and dual-socket motherboards compatible with Xeon processors, while Supermicro offers a wide variety of single-, dual- and quad-socket designs compatible with AMD processors, Intel Atom processors, and desktop processors from both manufacturers.
Naturally, both manufactures can also supply suitable cases or barebones products, which are described in a separate product category.
