Remote Edge Computing Require High-Performance
AI and Training Solutions to Support Advanced Workloads to Deliver
Increased Productivity
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Supermicro, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SMCI), a Total IT Solution Manufacturer for AI, Cloud,
Storage, and 5G/Edge, is expanding its portfolio of AI solutions,
allowing customers to leverage the power and capability of AI in
edge locations, such as public spaces, retail stores, or industrial
infrastructure. Using Supermicro application-optimized servers with
NVIDIA GPUs makes it easier to fine-tune pre-trained models and for
AI inference solutions to be deployed at the edge where the data is
generated, improving response times and decision-making.
"Supermicro has the broadest portfolio of Edge AI solutions,
capable of supporting pre-trained models for our customers' edge
environments," said Charles Liang,
president and CEO of Supermicro. "The Supermicro Hyper-E server,
based on the dual 5th Gen Intel® Xeon®
processors, can support up to three NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs,
delivering unparalleled performance for Edge AI. With up to 8TB of
memory in these servers, we are bringing data center AI processing
power to edge locations. Supermicro continues to provide the
industry with optimized solutions as enterprises build a
competitive advantage by processing AI data at their edge
locations."

With these server advancements, users no longer need to send
data back to the cloud for processing, only to retrieve the
information back to the edge, where it's required. Customers can
now use pre-trained large language models (LLMs) models, optimized
for performance and available with NVIDIA AI Enterprise at their
edge locations where the data is needed for accurate, real-time
decision-making close to the data origination.
"Businesses across industries, including healthcare, retail,
manufacturing, and auto, are increasingly looking to leverage AI at
the edge," said Kevin Connors, vice
president of partner alliances at NVIDIA. "The new Supermicro
NVIDIA-Certified Systems, powered by the NVIDIA AI platform, are
built to deliver the highest-performing accelerated computing
infrastructure, as well as NVIDIA AI Enterprise software to help
run edge AI workloads."
For example, Supermicro's Hyper-E server, the SYS-221HE, is
optimized for edge training and inferencing and supports dual
socket CPUs in a short-depth, front I/O system. The system holds up
to 3 double-width NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs, including the NVIDIA
H100, A10, L40S, A40, and A2 GPUs. These GPUs give the Supermicro
Hyper-E sufficient computing power to process AI workloads at edge
environments where data is collected, analyzed, and stored. The
Supermicro SYS-221HE is available with front or rear servicing
options, allowing this server to be installed in various
environments. As an example of the power and flexibility of the
Supermicro Hyper-E server, partners such as Eviden are creating
Edge AI solutions that enhance the customer experience while
shopping in traditional retail outlets.
Supermicro's advanced edge servers also include:
- The Supermicro SYS-621C-TNR12R (CloudDC family) is an
all-in-one rackmount platform for Cloud Data Centers. This compact
2U system supports up to two double-width GPUs in a 25.5" chassis
and 4 to 12 SATA/SAS drive bays with optional full NVMe
support.
- The Supermicro SYS-111E-FWTR, a high-density edge system, 1U in
height and features a 5th Gen Intel Xeon processor and two PCIe 5.0
x16 FHFL slots, is ideal for a broad range of networking and edge
applications.
- The compact Supermicro SYS-E403-13E delivers data center level
performance to the edge in a box PC form factor featuring a 5th Gen
Intel Xeon processor and up to three NVIDIA GPUs. The compact form
factor allows the system to be deployed in small spaces, such as in
a wall-mounted cabinet or as a portable device.
- The ultra short-depth SYS-211E-FRN2T, with a system depth of
300mm, is specifically designed to fit in space-constrained
environments found at the networking edge and features up to a 5th
Gen Intel Xeon processor. The SYS-211E-FRN2T is available with
either AC or DC power options.
- The powerful and versatile SuperEdge system, the
SYS-211SE-31D/A, is a multi-node system featuring three independent
nodes, each with a 5th Gen Intel Xeon processor, three PCIe 5.0 x16
slots, and up to 2TB of DDR5 memory. This 2U system also features
front I/O and a broad operating temperature range, and its short
depth makes it an excellent fit for deployment outside a data
center.
- The SYS-E300-13AD is a compact IoT server featuring a 13th Gen
Intel Core processor and is sized at just 265x226 mm, making it the
smallest system to fit an NVIDIA GPU. The server is ideal for
delivering distributed AI capabilities to the edge.

"Eviden's AI-powered retail solution, based on the Supermicro
edge systems and NVIDIA technologies, completely transforms the way
people navigate through and interact with spaces such as stores.
This enhances the shopping experience by offering customers
interactive and personalized shopping through 3D models of the
stores and interactive chatbots that can communicate appropriate
information. The blend of lifelike facial animations, advanced
speech recognition, and 3D modeling can make virtual shopping
nearly as tangible as visiting a physical store", said Jacque Istok, CEO of StoreGenius, specializing
in smart applications for the retail industry.
