Super Micro Computer, Inc., a global pioneer in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, is first-to-market with Outdoor Edge Systems – IP65 enclosure-based servers for 5G RAN, AI inferencing, and other intelligent edge-focused applications based on Intel Xeon D processors and 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with broad configuration options.

These new systems are ideal for harsh outdoor environments and support the industry's movement toward open-source software and disaggregated hardware.

Efficient IT solutions

Supermicro’s highly configurable SuperServers give data centre and telco operators new deployment options"

Supermicro’s highly configurable SuperServers for extreme outdoor use give data centre and telco operators unprecedented new deployment options rivaling industry competitors,” said Charles Liang, president, and CEO of Supermicro.

These solutions continue Supermicro’s leadership for high performance, efficient IT solutions for a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).”

FPGA and GPU acceleration

In addition to CPU options, Supermicro’s new systems take advantage of the latest FPGA and GPU acceleration with three PCI-E slots for expansion capability.

This is critical for enhanced real-time edge AI inferencing via GPU cards and supporting 5G RAN software plus open-standard site-to-site communication with FPGA accelerator cards. With SSD, M.2, and EDSFF storage capabilities, these ruggedised servers can also distribute cached media content locally or store video surveillance and other sensitive data.

Data centre remote management

Supermicro has extensive experience with popular virtualisation and container-optimised software

Based on Supermicro’s Building Block Solutions®, these 5G systems can be configured with a variety of processor and memory combinations so that customers can tailor their solutions to push data centre remote management to the intelligent edge.

Supermicro has extensive experience with popular virtualisation and container-optimised software such as Kubernetes to facilitate these interactions efficiently and has multiple servers certified NGC-Ready for Edge to extend AI capabilities across public and private networks.

Cloud-native, open 5G RAN architecture

Supermicro embraces the industry movement to non-proprietary hardware platforms and the growing adoption of standardised system interfaces. Supermicro’s membership in the O-RAN Alliance supports its initiative to promote a cloud-native, open 5G RAN architecture for the evolution of 4G to 5G networks.

Since joining the O-RAN Alliance, Supermicro has developed reference solutions with several leading telecom operators and software stack providers.

Pole-mounted solution

This compact pole-mounted solution allows for the rapid rollout of adaptable 5G networks with virtually zero real estates.

These rugged servers being introduced build on Supermicro’s comprehensive 5G and Edge computing portfolio, including the E403-9P-FN2T and the 1019P-FHN2T systems introduced in 2019, and complement the company’s high-performance products for the data centre such as the multi-node BigTwin™ and high-density SuperBlade® and MicroBlade™, which can support the virtualised 5G network core.
