Scale Smarter Edge Deployments with NEXCOM FTA 5190 & Xeon 6 AI Inside
TAIPEI, /CNW/ -- Ideal for intelligent edge infrastructure, the NEXCOM FTA 5190 is a powerful yet compact Edge AI server designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance cybersecurity and AI acceleration. Powered by a 36-core Intel® Xeon® 6 SoC, the FTA 5190 delivers an optimal blend of compute power, ultra-fast connectivity, and built-in intelligence — all packed into a space-efficient 1U rackmount chassis. Built for AI at the edge, the FTA 5190 integrates Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel® AMX), accelerating AI inference and smart workloads directly on the edge server. To strengthen cybersecurity at the edge, the FTA 5190 integrates Intel® QuickAssist Technology (QAT) Gen5, which accelerates cryptographic operations and compression tasks. This offload capability boosts throughput for secure SD-WAN, SASE, and zero-trust network architectures, reducing latency and increasing overall system efficiency. For high-speed data processing, the FTA 5190 supports LAN module extension up to 100GbE through the Intel® Ethernet Controller E810, fully optimized with DPDK to boost packet throughput. It offers eight 25GbE SFP+ and eight 1GbE RJ45 ports, providing a flexible and powerful interface mix ideal for data-intensive applications such as 5G core, AI-enabled cybersecurity, multi-access edge computing (MEC) and cloud-native edge services. Despite its powerful hardware and rich features, the FTA 5190 maintains a very compact 1U rackmount form factor, delivering top-tier performance in space-constrained environments. Built for high-density deployments, it's an ideal fit for service providers, telcos, and enterprises seeking to build secure, intelligent, and scalable edge infrastructure. With the FTA 5190, NEXCOM delivers a platform for intelligent, secure, and scalable services at the network edge. From AI-powered analytics to encrypted data flows and high-speed routing, the FTA 5190 represents the next evolution in edge computing infrastructure.

NetApp and Intel Partner to Redefine AI for Enterprises
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure company, today announced the release of NetApp AIPod Mini with Intel, a joint solution designed to streamline enterprise adoption of AI inferencing. This collaboration addresses the unique challenges businesses face when deploying AI, such as cost and complexity, at the department and team level. To thrive in the era of intelligence, enterprises have adopted AI to enhance efficiency and data-driven decision making across their businesses. A study by Harvard Business School found that consultants given access to AI tools were able to increase their productivity, completing 12.2 percent more tasks and completing them 25.1 percent more quickly. However, individual business units may find that the broadly available general purpose AI applications are not able to meet their specific needs, but do not have the technical expertise or budget to customize an AI application from scratch. NetApp and Intel have partnered to provide businesses with an integrated AI inferencing solution built on an intelligent data infrastructure framework that allows specific business functions to leverage their distinct data to create outcomes that support their needs. NetApp AIPod Mini streamlines the deployment and use of AI for specific applications such as automating aspects of document drafting and research for legal teams, implementing personalized shopping experiences and dynamic pricing for retail teams, and optimizing predictive maintenance and supply chains for manufacturing units. 'Our mission is to unlock AI for every team at every level without the traditional barriers of complexity or cost,' said Dallas Olson, Chief Commercial Officer at NetApp. 'NetApp AIPod Mini with Intel gives our customers a solution that not only transforms how teams can use AI but also makes it easy to customize, deploy, and maintain. We are turning proprietary enterprise data into powerful business outcomes.' NetApp AIPod Mini enables businesses to interact directly with their business data through pre-packaged Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows, combining generative AI with proprietary information to deliver precise, context-aware insights that streamline operations and drive impactful outcomes. By integrating Intel® Xeon® 6 processors and Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel® AMX) with NetApp's all-flash storage, advanced data management, and deep Kubernetes integration, NetApp AIPod Mini delivers high-performance, cost-efficient AI inferencing at scale. Built on an open framework powered by Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEA), the solution ensures modular, flexible deployments tailored to business needs. Intel Xeon processors are designed to boost computing performance and efficiency, making AI tasks more attainable and cost-effective, empowering customers to achieve more. To best serve customers, this solution is designed to be: Affordable: Designed for departmental or business-unit budgets, NetApp AIPod Mini delivers enterprise-grade performance at a low entry price. Designed with scalability in mind, the solution enables organizations to achieve AI advancements without wasting resources on unnecessary overhead or costs.
