The new short-depth multi-node system is designed and optimised for 5G, IoT, and Edge applications
Super Micro Computer unveiled a new short-depth multi-node system that is designed and optimised for 5G, IoT, and Edge applications. The Supermicro SuperEdge server is ideal for environments where high-density compute, and I/O are required in a small form factor, for example, in on-site settings including retail, branch offices, or field locations such as at the base of cell towers or high traffic areas.
By utilising a 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor in each node, the Supermicro SuperEdge delivers data centre processing power at the edge to accelerate analysis and real-time application functionality. The SuperEdge server increases node density by 50% over previous application-optimised servers for 5G, IoT, and Edge workloads. Customers can start with only one server and add additional servers to meet increasing demands as the business grows.
”The SuperEdge server increases the compute and I/O densities for edge applications and enables operators to increase system workloads and data processing performed at the edge, reducing network traffic back to data centres. As part of our IT Solutions strategy, designing application-tuned servers for both the edge and the cloud optimises the deployment of network computing, as we move to the metaverse,” said Charles Liang, President, and CEO, Supermicro.
The Supermicro SuperEdge server is designed to fit in small data centres or environments where server depth is critical. With a depth of only 430 mm, the SuperEdge system is easily installed in a wide range of physical environments where space is at a premium. GPUs may also be installed, giving the Supermicro SuperEdge the ability to perform AI calculations at the edge of the network, increasing decision-making capabilities and reducing response times.
