Advantech’s new high-performance AI system, the AIR-500D, supports dual NVIDIA RTX GPUs. The AIR-500D leverages Intel® Xeon® D-1700 processors and 2 x PCIe x16 slots that support dual high-performance GPU cards to deliver server class performance.
The AIR-500D is able to process large datasets and compute-intensive workloads when applied to AI inferencing and training applications. It supports wide operating temperature operation (-10 ~ 50 °C) and features a 1200W power supply suitable for industrial environments. The AIR-500D leverages a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and Advantech DeviceOn software to enable a wide range of edge AI
solutions — including in machine automation and vision, medical imaging
and smart cities applications.
Designed for large-scale AI projects with data training
Deploying
AI in real-world applications requires machine learning training and
inference for AI models. The AIR-500D helps businesses accrue value from
their AI investment, especially when applied to massive data,
image/audio classification, recommendations and decision-making. The
AIR-500D is powered by Intel® Xeon® (up to 10 cores) and supports dual
GPU cards at up to 800 watts for immediate training and high-performance
inference. This creates a solution capable of reducing the effort
associated with developing massive CPU-only servers in data centres. The
AIR-500D leverages a compact design and distributed architecture to
support deployment at or close to the edge, fulfilling AIoT era demands.
Intelligent, secure management via DeviceOn and BMC
The AIR-500D is equipped with an onboard BMC for remote control and management. It also features TPM and adheres to PFR NIST to deliver advanced security and firmware resiliency. This combination of features facilitates the remote execution of administrative tasks and provides an integrated multi-hardware defence mechanism that ensures stable daily operation when applied to server power cycling, fan speed and component temperature monitoring, and hardware failure analysis. The AIR-500D supports Advantech WISE-DeviceOn software to facilitate the large-scale deployment of AI devices. AIR-500D leverages AI model container functions and OTA updates for batch software, firmware and inference model updates to empower AI projects quickly.
