California-based Supermicro has announced platforms to accelerate AI inferencing and general-purpose workloads in space and power-constrained environments such as retail.
The three edge AI systems enable organisations to deploy intelligent applications at scale, ranging from real-time analytics to business-critical infrastructure, including loss prevention, frictionless checkout and in-store analytics for intelligent retail, restaurants and healthcare.
They are powered by AMD EPYC 4005 processors.
“Supermicro continues to deliver highly efficient, compact systems that bring powerful compute closer to where data are generated and processed,” said Mory Lin, vice president at Supermicro. “With our new AMD EPYC 4005 processor-based platforms, including compact box, short-depth 1U and slim tower system form factors, customers can deploy AI accelerator cards and dedicated workloads at the edge with improved performance, enhanced security and reduced power consumption, while lowering total cost of ownership.”
The AS -E300-14GR is a compact mini-1U box system supporting up to 16 cores and 192Gbyte of DDR5 memory, suitable for embedded and space-constrained deployments such as point-of-sale with HDMI and MiniDisplay ports and network gateway applications with one dedicated out-of-band management port and four GbE ports in a 2.5L enclosure.
The AS -1116R-FN4 is a short-depth 1U rackmount system with expanded storage capabilities, optimised for branch offices and retail back-end consolidation.
The AS -3015TR-i4 is a slim tower system offering flexibility for edge deployments requiring quiet operation and easy installation for integrating one dual-slot GPU card, such as Nvidia RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell GPU in a 9L chassis, including optional slim optical and disk drive.
Each system features security technologies including TPM 2.0 and AMD SEV secure encrypted virtualisation, along with robust connectivity options such as four GbE ports for seamless integration with PoS systems, cameras and enterprise networks.
Powered by AMD’s Zen 5 core architecture, EPYC 4005 processors have a TDP as low as 65W, support for DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5 expansion. Select models also incorporate AMD 3D V-Cache technology, enabling faster data access and improved performance for data-intensive workloads.
With support for IPMI 2.0 remote management and optional GPU acceleration, Supermicro’s edge systems provide a scalable, secure and energy-efficient platform for modern distributed computing.
Founded and operating in San Jose, California, Supermicro (www.supermicro.com) delivers products for enterprise, cloud, AI, and 5G telco and edge IT Infrastructure.
