Super Micro Computer, Inc. is announcing the global availability of a wide
range of systems for edge computing, including the recently announced
SuperEdge and a range of Intel Xeon D processor-based systems, with up
to 20 cores, 25 GbE networking built-in, and a temperature operating
range from -40° C to 85° C. These systems are optimized for the
Intelligent Edge, where responsive systems that reduce latency are
required. In addition, locating powerful AI systems closer to where data
is generated reduces network traffic and lowers response time.
"We
are pleased to be able to deliver our high-volume optimized edge
systems worldwide due to our expanded factories and capacity," said Charles Liang,
president, and CEO of Supermicro. "Our latest systems are designed for
harsh conditions with the highest performing CPUs and GPUs that are
available. Supermicro has the unique ability to quickly deliver
industry-optimized solutions from the edge to the data center by using
our Building Block Solution approach. We are also committed to lessening our servers' carbon footprint, resulting in fewer emissions and a greener planet."
Supermicro
is introducing a selection of new systems, including updated versions
of the popular IP65 Outdoor Edge system and the Supermicro Hyper-E
product lines, all of which are designed with the optimal Intel Xeon CPU
and various forms factors. These systems are all applications optimized
for computing and inferencing at the edge and are available worldwide.
Edge systems from Supermicro incorporate the latest Intel Xeon CPUs, including the Intel Xeon D family and the 3rd Gen
Intel Xeon Scalable processors. As a result, Supermicro servers built
with these CPUs show a performance increase over previous generations of
systems, producing more work per watt of electricity.
"As
data continues to be processed outside the traditional data center,
customers are looking for solutions to address the most demanding use
cases to create a better overall experience for key network and edge
usages and workloads," stated Jeni Panhorst,
VP and GM of Network and Edge Compute Division at Intel. "Our
collaboration with Supermicro extends the reach of systems needed to
meet demand in ruggedized environments and allows new solutions to be
delivered to help increase innovation and decrease costs for many
organizations."
The
short depth and front I/O systems are critical for edge environments
where physical space may be at a premium. These systems may need to
operate in facilities far away from climate-controlled data centers and
without interruption. Supermicro continues to innovate with servers that
can be installed in outdoor environments, including the pole-mounted
IP65 server platform for 5G and the intelligent edge. Moving AI
inferencing to the edge of the network allows faster decisions to be
made without using valuable network bandwidth to communicate back to a
remote data center.
