Computex 2024: AIC to Showcase AI Edge

AIC Inc. will showcase its array of AI edge applications, AI storage solutions, hardware security modules (HSM), and liquid cooling technologies at Computex 2024.

Integrating AI technology across various products, AIC has achieved notable success in diverse markets including surveillance, media, industrial control, military, edge computing, and financial transactions.

This year, AIC highlights 4 key technology areas: 

AI Edge Applications: EB202-CP, an edge application server that supports 2 dual-slot NVIDIA GPU cards, is designed for AI edge use cases. Equipped with 8 x Unigen Biscotti E1.S AI processor modules for accelerated AI, it can manage image data streams from over 500 AI surveillance cameras, making it for use in generative AI, financial applications, and factory automation.

Additionally, AIC’s CB201-B5 GPU server, showcased in collaboration with South Korean surveillance leader Innodep, will deliver substantial AI computing power for video surveillance analysis, intrusion detection, anomaly recognition, and predictive alerts, thereby significantly enhancing the effectiveness of AI edge surveillance systems.

AI Storage and DPU Applications: In partnership with US-based software company Vast Data, Ltd, the company will display high-density AI storage solutions integrated with NVIDIA’s BlueField-1 and BlueField-3 DPUs. These solutions offer up to 1.32PB of storage in a 1U configuration and include fully redundant, modular hot-swappable hardware with 8 x 200Gb/s network interfaces. AIC will also be signing an MOU with Phison Electronics Corp., integrating servers with Phison’s aiDAPTIV+ modules to lower AI model fine-tuning costs and enhance generative AI accessibility. Additionally, AIC will be partnering with H3 Platform, Inc., to offer CXL composable infrastructure, optimizing device allocation and management to meet the demands of low-latency, high-bandwidth AI applications.

Hardware Security Module (HSM) Applications: The firm will also present the TB116-DL, showcasing its powerful integration with NVIDIA’s BlueField-3 DPU and Qrypt’s quantum secure encryption platform. The TB116-DL is a FIPS 140-3 compliant network security appliance equipped with tamper proof labels and intrusion detection switches, making it for sectors such as finance, military, and government that demand elite and multilayered security. This integration harnesses NVIDIA’s BlueField-3 DPU to accelerate network and security functions, enhancing system throughput and reducing latency, while Qrypt’s encryption software employs quantum-generated entropy to deliver top-tier, quantum-safe security. When integrated, these technologies forge a scalable, layered security architecture adept at mitigating both present and future cyber threats, making the TB116-DL the solution for applications demanding rigorous security compliance and superior data integrity.

Liquid Cooling Solutions: The company continues to advance its liquid cooling technologies to address the cooling needs of AI and HPC applications. This year’s showcase includes open-loop water cooling, closed-loop water cooling, pump-free closed-loop cooling, and 2-phase immersion cooling systems. The 2-phase immersion cooling system features an optimized condenser design and chip-level boiling heat dissipation, providing cooling capacity and efficiency. These technologies contribute to achieving a Power Usage Efficiency (PUE) close to 1.02, supporting clients in reaching near-net-zero carbon emissions and fulfilling Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) sustainability goals in environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance.

For more information and to see a demonstration of these solutions, visit AIC during Computex 2024 from June 4 to June 7.

AIC collaborates with partners including AMD, Broadcom, H3 Platform, Intel, Micron, PLiOPS, Phison, Qrypt, Seagate, Smart, SMI, Solidigm, Toshiba, Unigen, Vast Data, and WD to showcase these advanced technologies.
