Introduction

Imagine an HPC server unleashed from an air-conditioned data center room, roaming freely in the field! RGS-8805GC is just that, a rugged HPC server powered by the AMD EPYC™ 7003 series “MILAN” processor with up to 64-core/ 128-thread unparalleled computing power and 512GB memory capacity. Utilizing a unique partitioned enclosure design, it provides a highly effective airflow for CPU and other components to guarantee a reliable -25°C to 60°C operation for field deployment.

To fuel versatile advanced edge AI applications, RGS-8805GC can host one high-end NVIDIA® RTX A6000 or A4500 GPU which provides up to 38.7 TFLOPS FP32 or 309.7 TFLOPS tensor performance. It comes with a unique enclosure design that creates a sealed tunnel to efficiently dissipate the heat generated from the RTX GPU. RGS-8805GC offers an exceptional balance of CPU and GPU for modern edge AI applications, such as autonomous driving, DL-based vision inspection, and intelligent video analytics.

In terms of I/O connectivity, RGS-8805GC has two 10G Ethernet ports for high-speed data transmission that are backward compatible with 5GBASE-T and 2.5GBASE-T to work with NBASE-T industrial cameras; it has another four Gigabit PoE+ and four USB 3.1 Gen1 ports for connecting additional devices; and four easy-swappable 2.5″ HDD trays for data storage. If that’s not enough, RGS-8805 provides two x16 PCIe slots for installing additional I/O cards such as frame grabber or GMSL image capture cards. Not to mention that RGS-8805GC is one of few HPC servers that accept wide-range DC input, helping it to adapt to versatile deployment environments.

RGS-8805GC addresses the challenge of deploying a CPU/ GPU server to the field, where installation space, operating temperature, and power supply are some of the most commonly faced issues. A rugged HPC system that can be installed outside of an air-conditioned environment and capable of operating in harsh environments opens the door to new AI-assisted edge computing for more advanced telecom infrastructure, factory automation, ADAS, and V2X applications.
