Supermicro was founded in 1993 (1) by Charles Liang, Sara Liu and Wally Liaw.

The designs set several benchmarks. Over the years Supermicro has evolved into an enterprise that provides complete optimized end-to-end solutions for compute, network and storage applications.

The company, incorporated in Delaware in August 2006, is headquartered in the heart of Silicon Valley, in San Jose, California. Next to the headquarters location Supermicro is developing a 2.5 million square foot Green Computing Park and manufacturing space. Supermicro has further expanded global operations, with manufacturing spaces in the Netherlands and a Science and Technology Park in Taiwan, and withsubsidiaries located in Japan and China.

A publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ with ticker symbol SMCI, Supermicro had its IPO in March 2007 (4).
