By incorporating the newest 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors into its edge server lineup, the Wiwynn ES100G2 and ES200G2, a large cloud IT infrastructure supplier for data centers including Open Compute (OCP) oriented facilities, is making a big advancement. With built-in accelerators, more efficiency, and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), this move is poised to transform network and edge computing.
The need for data processing skills that can manage heavy computational power and respond quickly is expanding in an era when artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) are becoming more and more dominant. With improved performance, including built-in AI acceleration, Intel AMX (Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions), faster DDR5 memory, and PCIe Gen5 technology, the 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors would meet these demands. Compared to earlier generations, these improvements would not result in higher power usage. It is anticipated that integrating these processors with Wiwynn's edge servers would open up new possibilities for network and edge computing, providing more effective and affordable solutions.
The 2U single-socket edge server, the Wiwynn ES200G2, is designed especially to manage edge AI workloads. With its small design and powerful compute acceleration, storage, and network scalability, this server is a short-depth form factor powerhouse. It would be be a good choice for AI inference and training, 3D graphics, rendering, video analytics, and multi-access edge computing since it supports two dual-width GPUs and four NVMe SSDs. For edge service providers that need a combination of adaptability and flexibility, especially for applications in content delivery networks (CDNs), smart factories, and smart cities, the ES200G2 would stand out.
On the other hand, NEBS Level 3 compliance would make the 1U single-socket edge server Wiwynn ES100G2 a reliable choice for applications requiring a lot of network bandwidth. To meet the demands of network workloads including virtual private networks (vRAN) and software-defined networks at the remote edge, it has four PCIe Gen5 extensions and silicon-based security. The server would be a good option for communication service providers seeking for fast and controllable deployments because of its improved telemetry capabilities and built-in accelerator.
Built-In AI Acceleration, Performance
Executive Vice President of Wiwynn Steven Lu highlighted the incorporation of cutting-edge technology in their new servers and expressed enthusiasm about their partnership with Intel. Lu claims that these servers provide more processing power, quicker memory, and high-speed data transfer, enabling users to effectively deploy edge and network workloads in the AI age.
The capabilities of the 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors to handle demanding network and edge workloads with reduced TCO and enhanced security was emphasized by Bassel Haddad, Vice President and General Manager of Edge Device and AI Products at Intel's Network and Edge Group. He emphasized the chips' built-in AI acceleration and their remarkable performance per watt for regular compute workloads. Haddad emphasized the technical power and adaptability of these processors by pointing out that they allow Wiwynn and its clients to swiftly bring configurable hardware solutions from the edge to the cloud to market.
