Advantech : Upgrades Server and Appliance Range with 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors for 5G, AIoT & HPC

━ 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors Hero Features: enhanced security with Intel Software Guard Extension (Intel SGX), Intel Crypto Acceleration flexibility with Intel Speed Select Technology, AI acceleration with Intel Deep Learning Boost and manageability with Intel Resource Director Technology.

━ IoT, Networking and Cloud workload-optimized performance for lower TCO: featuring from 8 to 40 powerful cores, Intel Optane persistent memory 200 series, PCI Express 4.0 support and built-in AI and crypto accelerators, the new higher frequency processors have been optimized for higher performance per watt in cloud computing, network virtualization and AIoT environments.

━ Improved density, reliability and serviceability: Advantech servers and appliances are designed from the ground up carefully balancing high-density PCIe card payload with CPU sockets. Their advanced design yields higher margins and lower component stress for improved platform reliability, supports single failure of critical components such as PSU or fans, hot-swappable FRUs, and meets strict DQA criteria with industrial 5+2 life cycle support. In addition, redundant BIOS and firmware images not only provide a safe way to recover from component failures but also offer remote fail-safe update capabilities via on-board BMC (IPMIv2.0 compliant) with web interface, KVM and Redfish support. All this to minimize costly downtime, on-site interventions and service interruptions that result in the loss of valuable data, revenue and customers.

━ Flexible business model from COTS to fully customized ODM: service and solution providers can integrate Advantech off-the-shelf servers and appliances as white-box solutions fitting a wide range of applications. Advantech works closely with leading software partners for system validation and certification. Hardware and firmware can be customized as well as branding, packaging and logistics. In addition, Advantech's in-house design and manufacturing capabilities can be leveraged to achieve application-specific multi-node, blade and edge server product development objectives.
