512 Core Petabyte Carry-On Edge AI Computer Powered by Ampere
The Nexus with Ampere 512 core petabyte carry-on was designed to bring purpose-built computing solutions anywhere you need to be. Whether you need to do on-site cyber security assessment, or you want to accelerate your network capabilities with edge computing, the Nexus offers a rugged travel-ready package with the professional computing power you need.
This cutting-edge solution combines powerful and energy-efficient Ampere processors with a portable form factor that’s unprecedented in systems offering this level of professional computing performance. Configurations with 4x 1U systems or 2x 2U systems offer a variety of solutions to match your use case.
Nexus with Ampere can leverage both NextComputing’s software integration services, and the wide array of applications that Ampere processors are already optimized for. Any software can be pre-installed and tested, giving customers a system that’s ready to go on day one. This makes the Nexus with Ampere ideal for rapid deployments such as Kubernetes clusters or edge computing solutions.
The Flyaway Kit’s capabilities make it a versatile solution for a range of applications:
- Cybersecurity Operations: Flyaway Kits equipped with Ampere CPUs can run advanced AI models for threat detection, incident response, and real-time analysis, providing defense organizations with the tools they need to counteract cyber threats quickly.
- Portable 5G Networks: These kits can be configured to serve as portable 5G and micro-cloud environments, enabling secure, high-bandwidth communications in remote or contested areas for applications such as search & rescue or monitoring with strict control over authorized users.
- Field Operations: Flyaway Kits support on-the-fly analytics and real-time data processing, empowering defense personnel to make informed decisions during field operations.
- Many More: The benefits of portability and high-performance computing can be applied to the broadcasting industry and emergency response scenarios, where quick deployment and secure data handling are crucial for success.
Ampere’s dense compute and power efficiency have enabled NextComputing to pack four times more compute into the carry-on form factor. With x86 we were tapped out, could go no further.
Ampere gives the most compute per rack
using the least power. But rack is just a unit of measure. NextComputing had the vision to see that for their size, weight and power (SWaP), Ampere packs the most compute per liter, per kilogram, and per watt.
Rugged Portable Case - Wheels and extendable handle make travel a breeze and dimensions match TSA guidelines for carry-on, meaning you don’t have to let your systems out of your sight.- Configuration Flexibility - Let NextComputing build your system to suit your use case. 2x 2U systems, 4x 1U systems, or a mix of each; whatever your needs.
- Ampere Processors - Up to 512 arm64 cores (4x 1U configuration) or 256 arm64 cores (2x 2U configuration)
- High Data Throughput - Up to 8TB RAM in 4x 1U configurations, massive storage for high-volume data streaming, and dual 10GbE or 25GbE SPF28 LAN from each 1U or 2U system.
- Purpose-Built - NextComputing offers pre-set configurations, or we can work with you to configure your power, storage, and expansion options for your specific high-performance needs.
