Attendees showcased its F2026 Inference AI Server and the advanced EB202-CP, alongside its latest developments in liquid cooling solutions.
F2026 Inference AI server
The F2026, a 2U NVMe JBOF (Just a Bunch of Flash) enclosure, stands at the forefront of the company’s product line, offering compatibility with multiple DPU brands such as Nvidia Bluefield 3, Kalray K200, and Chelsio T7. This server provides direct PCIe connectivity with up to 64xPCIe Gen5 lanes per node, features a redundant hardware design including dual node access to all 26 U.2 NVMe drives, and ensures full PCIe Gen-5 performance end-to-end. Its design focuses on ease of serviceability and advanced performance, making it an essential upgrade for data-centric architectures.
EB202-CP: Tailored for HPC
The EB202-CP storage server, equipped with the firm’s Capella MB and powered by the AMD EPYC Genoa processors, supports high computing capabilities with multiple PCIe Gen 5 slots and offers flexible power options for various applications. Designed for environments where space and quick access are critical, the EB202-CP features a short depth, swappable Gen 5 EDSFF bays, and is for security-enhanced applications including 5G networks, video streaming, and IoT processing.
Liquid cooling solutions
AIC also introduces its enhanced liquid cooling solutions, which include open-loop, closed-loop, and pump-less closed-loop configurations. These systems are designed to handle the demands of high-wattage applications, improving system stability, reducing noise, and optimizing power usage effectiveness (PUE). The 2-phase and immersion cooling solutions offer benefits in heat dissipation, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
