NVIDIA has played a crucial role in enabling Supermicro to expand its AI solutions portfolio, allowing customers to drive advanced AI capabilities to edge computing environments.
The company is utilising NVIDIA GPUs to provide greater processing power for AI workloads at the edge, in addition to the NVIDIA AI Platform offering software tools and libraries optimised for running AI workloads.
Using Supermicro application-optimised servers with NVIDIA GPUs will make 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.
As a result, companies like Supermicro are seeking to expand their remote edge computing services, as they require high-performance AI and training solutions to advance workloads and increase productivity. Its expanded AI portfolio enables customers to leverage the power and capability of AI in edge locations like public spaces, retail stores or industrial infrastructure.
The company’s edge AI solutions are also capable of supporting pre-trained models for the edge environment of its customers.
“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,” says Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro.
“With up to 8TB of memory in these servers, we are bringing data centre AI processing power to edge locations. Supermicro continues to provide the industry with optimised solutions as enterprises build a competitive advantage by processing AI data at their edge locations.”
Data Centre Networking Market to Boom due to 5G Adoption
The data centre networking market is expected to experience a corporate annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.53% by 2030 - bringing the overall revenue to US$38.33bn.
Globally, the data centre networking market was valued at US$21.43bn in 2022. A report published by Kings Research found that North America is leading the market as the widespread application of 5G technology continues to rise.
Kings Research attributed the rapid growth of the data centre networking industry to the surge in data centre virtualisation and increased advanced data centre operating models. Additionally, it referred to the expansion being primarily driven by the need for real-time user interaction and the optimisation of on-demand services in diverse organisations.
Transforming the telecoms sector
Given the continued demand for data processing and communication services, 5G technology can help to improve operational efficiency within data centre facilities. Combining 5G and data centres can help businesses tap into low latency, high speeds and the large bandwidth that 5G can offer.
Additionally, 5G can also contribute to cloud and sustainability solutions. According to industry leader Verizon, combining a 5G data centre with a traditional cloud-computing environment offers companies innovative processing for advanced analytics in the cloud.
Kings Research also found that the IT and telecommunications sector accounted for the largest market share in data centre networking in 2022. It attributes this growth to factors such as a rise in telecom subscribers and the widespread use of smartphones, which generate more data and increase demand for data centre network solutions.
With the ever-increasing demand to optimise network performances, companies are keen to enhance their services to provide better and more widespread connectivity.
