As computing continues to advance and more data is generated at the edge, organizations are increasingly turning to accelerated computing to unlock greater insights and functionality right where data is created. However, deploying AI and HPC workloads at the edge comes with unique challenges. Traditional high-performance systems designed for data centers are often too large or power-hungry to operate effectively in constrained environments. Limited footprint, environmental factors such as vibration, heat, dust, and moisture, along with strict power envelope limitations, have historically restricted the ability to run high-performance AI and HPC workloads outside of data centers.
At the same time, many edge locations—whether oil rigs, naval vessels, remote research stations, or military bases—face limited or nonexistent network connectivity, making reliance on costly public cloud resources impractical or impossible. These constraints create a gap where high-performance, bare-metal accelerated computing is desperately needed but difficult to deploy.
SourceCode’s Edge CDI Cluster is designed specifically to address these challenges. Offering flexible system configurations optimized for physically limited and harsh edge environments, the Edge CDI Cluster delivers the bare-metal performance needed for HPC, AI, and machine learning workloads without the overhead of virtualization. This purpose-built solution brings enterprise-grade accelerated computing to the edge, overcoming size, environmental, and power limitations—so organizations can process critical workloads locally, with low latency and maximum efficiency.
Composable disaggregated infrastructure (CDI) leverages PCIe-based low latency interconnects to enable dynamically provisioned systems. This lets system administrators pool resources like CPUs, accelerators (GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs), memory, or storage without physical reconfiguration. Similarly, resources can be expanded, reduced, or refreshed on the fly.
By disassociating components from their physical location in a server within a cluster, unique hardware platforms can be spun up through software alone. This means users can optimally leverage available resources instead of relying on whatever node architecture is available.
The CDI Edge Cluster lets IT managers and system administrators change the way they think of resource procurement. By disaggregating hardware, CDI Edge Clusters can grow in whatever way your team needs, without unnecessary extra costs.
Since CDI technology does not virtualize systems, there is no performance loss on the CDI Edge Cluster when compared to a similarly equipped traditional HPC or AI cluster. Meanwhile, the software-managed, dynamically composable nodes maintain the ‘on-demand’ nature of the cloud many users have grown accustomed to.
Liqid composable infrastructure enables users to build a living datacenter architecture that adapts to meet their business needs and scales as required. Leveraging cutting-edge NVMe-over-flash networking technology, along with Liqid Command Center resource orchestration software, Liqid users can disassociate their resources from their physical server configuration, creating pooled resources that can be composed in new configurations on the fly. This flexibility is paired with powerful improvements in performance, optimization, and efficiency.
GigaIO is an enterprise-class, open standard composable infrastructure solution. GigaIO FabreX breaks the constraints of old static architectures, opening new configuration possibilities with composable disaggregated infrastructure, to maximize utilization of all the elements within your racks.
We build each of our systems to “zero defect” standards in our U.S.-based manufacturing facilities. Then we hand inspect every order, testing them to ensure they are 100% operational and optimized to support rapid deployment.
