Supermicro's Intelligent Retail Edge provides an integrated software-defined
operating platform that significantly simplifies the deployment, management,
orchestration, and networking of Edge infrastructure and applications. The
platform runs on Supermicro's IoT and edge hardware, ranging from small edge
devices to full-scale rack-based edge servers that can support GPU, FPGA, and
other technologies.
"Supermicro's Intelligent Retail Edge solution provides retailers the engine
they need to deliver innovative technologies and services to their customers
efficiently," said Raju Penumatcha, senior vice president and chief product
officer, Supermicro. "Built on Supermicro's flexible Building Block Solutions®
architecture and powered by leading-edge software from our partners, this
solution is optimized to help address some of the challenges facing the retail
industry today."
Supermicro's Intelligent Retail Edge is offered in three different certified
cluster configurations leveraging the industry-proven SuperServer platform that
is optimized for specific sized stores, and application workload requirements.
-- Entry-level cluster platform based on the E100 (
), a small, powerful fanless IoT/Edge gateway server for small
stores with space and power constraints, such as small convenience
stores or restaurants, running basic workloads such as Point-of-Sale
(POS), video surveillance, and inventory management.
-- A mainstream cluster requiring a versatile, high-performance IoT/Edge
server based on the E300 (
), has a small physical
footprint and superior acoustics for small to medium-sized stores
running multiple applications at the edge.
-- High-end cluster configuration utilizing the 1019/5019 (
), a
short depth rack-mount edge workhorse server with rich storage and
networking options and support for accelerator and GPU technologies
needed for AI/ML applications for medium to- large-sized stores, such
as grocery stores and mid-sized size retailers.
Developed through a collaboration with NodeWeaver and NetFoundry, Supermicro's
Integrated Retail Edge platform supports small-to-large clusters for retail
applications.
"Retail technology is at the beginning of a new era that promises to
revolutionize the customer experience, increase efficiencies, and reduce
costs," said Carlo Daffara, CEO and Co-Founder of NodeWeaver, a provider of a
universal edge fabric software. "As distributed compute becomes more critical
for retail operations, these platforms must be deployed, managed, maintained,
and secured on a mass scale. Supermicro's Retail Edge provides the foundational
operating platform for this distributed compute layer, and NodeWeaver is proud
to be a part of this solution."
Providing reliable and secure networking can be challenging in distributed edge
environments, and securing customer and point-of-sale (POS) data is critical in
retail environments. Supermicro's Retail Edge platform provides simple, easy to
deploy Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) connectivity powered by NetFoundry to
deliver exceptional performance, zero-trust security, agility, and simplicity.
"Retailers are innovating to enhance customer experiences," said Galeal Zino,
Founder, and CEO, NetFoundry. "The SuperMicro Retail Edge solution provides
next-gen retail applications with the software-defined operating platform, and
powerful edge compute they require to innovate. To securely connect those
retail edges with core, cloud, and partners, without needing to manage
additional networking servers, the retailer or solution provider leverages Zero
Trust NaaS, powered by NetFoundry, and integrated into the solution with this
partnership between Supermicro and NetFoundry."
NodeWeaver's adaptive hypervisor provides secure and partitioned execution of
any application without the traditional overhead of virtualization. Initial
performance benchmarks show that the platform can run applications with
performance near to that of bare metal execution, while maintaining the ability
to provide for high availability and cloud-like flexibility.
