Their competition is the enterprise hardware divisions of HP, Dell, and IBM. SuperMicro makes reasonably good quality, lower-cost server equipment. They are, IMO, a pretty good value if you don't want high-end support from the hardware vendor.

ASRock has also pushed into some of Supermicro's traditional product segments via the "ASRock Rack" brand. I have no idea how big that business is, though.

Gigabyte and Zotac also comes to mind, resemble Asrock.

There's a bunch of other kit too, but https://servethehome.com reviews a bunch of the various rack systems.

HPE, Dell, and IBM are glorified CDW-business model salespeople. Megacorps have no use for that when they can engage the source and get their own custom gear.
