Supermicro, Inc. a provider of complete IT solutions for cloud, AI/ML, storage and 5G/Edge, announces a new generation of IoT and embedded systems. The design improves performance and increases energy efficiency for intelligent applications at the remote edge. With the addition of these new models, including support for the new Intel® Atom® x7000RE processor, Supermicro is enhancing its diverse infrastructure solutions to deliver computing and AI performance at the intelligent edge.
“We continue to expand our systems product line with optimized servers for the edge that can handle the demanding workloads where massive amounts of data are generated,” said Charles Liang , president and CEO of Supermicro . “Thanks to our building block architecture, we design and deliver a wide range of AI servers to give enterprises the solutions they need from the edge to the cloud. Our new Intel Atom edge systems include up to 16 GB of memory, dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports and a NANO SIM card slot. AI inferencing is now possible at the edge, where most of the world’s data is generated.”
“Enterprises are increasingly working at the edge and becoming more demanding as they integrate more compute, media, graphics and AI capabilities for better business outcomes,” said Dan Rodriguez , corporate vice president and general manager of Intel’s Network and Edge Solutions Group . “They rely on our ecosystem to deliver solutions for low-power, low-cost, and space-constrained environments that can address the wide variety of workloads at the edge.”

Supermicro’s new systems are the SYS-E100, the SYS-E102, the SYS-E111AD and an updated SYS-E403. Designed specifically for edge applications, these servers deliver higher performance with the latest Intel Atom and Intel Core CPUs and are available in ultra-small and compact form factors.
The new SYS-E100-14AM and SYS-E102-14AM from Supermicro are both equipped with the Intel Atom x7000RE processors with up to 8 cores, double that of its predecessor. The SYS-E100 and SYS-E102 servers are ultra-compact form factors designed to enhance the power efficiency (less than 12W) and highly efficient computing performance of the Intel Atom processor. Although the SYS-E102 comes in a form factor of just 190x44x120mm, these box-sized systems offer up to 16GB DDR5-SODIMM, dual 2.5GbE LAN ports, two independent HDMI ports, 3 USB 3.2 ports and an M .2 B/E/M key with a NANO SIM card slot.
The SYS-E100 form factor is a few millimeters larger. It has the added benefit of being a fanless system, with an increased temperature range of -20°C to a maximum of 70°C, meaning it contains fewer moving parts and offers greater resistance to dirt and dust. The fanless system is also available in a DIN rail mounting model, the SYS-E100-14AM-IA. This function is particularly suitable for applications in industrial environments, where the system can be easily integrated into setups with other equipment and modules. All three models operate with a variable power supply from 9-36 V, with optimal power consumption for the specific operating environment.
Addressing the need for a frugal solution to run AI inferencing workloads at the edge, Supermicro introduces the 1U SYS-111AD-WRN2. As a 1U system with a depth of just 429mm, this system is the smallest server that can accommodate a full-length double-wide GPU card or 3 PCIe expansion slots and can accommodate an FHFL GPU card. The system is equipped with a 14th/13th generation Intel Core™ processor, up to 128 GB of RAM and a range of expansion slots. The new system is built to meet the needs of distributed applications such as video processing, streaming or robotics.
Designed for demanding edge AI workloads, the larger and more powerful SYS-E403-13E platform delivers data center performance levels at the edge, with a 5th/4th generation Intel Xeon® Scalable processor and space for up to 3 accelerator cards. Additionally, the Supermicro The compact form factor of 406 x 267 x 117 mm allows the system to be used in small spaces, for example in a wall cabinet or as a portable device.
