Moxa Introduces Its First AI-ready Rackmount x86 IPCs for Reliable and Scalable Edge AI

Moxa Inc., a leader in industrial communications and networking, proudly announces the launch of its first AI-ready rackmount IPCs —RKP-C220 Series. The RKP-C220 come with a x16 PCIe slot that supports full-length discrete GPU cards for AI-accelerated performance at the edge. Additional PCIe slots, a x8 and a x1, provide flexible expansion options. The robust fanless thermal design, high-performance processor, and comprehensive I/O expansion options enable the RKP-C220 to drive optimal performance from distributed devices for your Edge AI applications. 

According to a Markets and Markets report, AI technology is driving the demand for decentralized data processing and real-time decision-making solutions. By eliminating latency, AI at the industrial edge enables real-time data analysis and autonomous decision-making, which leads to enhanced operational efficiency, speed, precision, and scalability.  

” In a complex IIoT environment, the ability to support massive data analysis hinges on a reliable edge device infrastructure. The RKP-C220 Series is designed to meet these requirements with the capability to power your Edge AI, enabling you to build intelligent IIoT applications with complete peace of mind. ” Jonas Chen, head of x86 IPC Business at Moxa

Unlock the Potential of Edge AI Using x86 IPCs With GPU Support

The RKP-C220 with its versatile PCIe slots, including a x16 slot that supports full-length GPU cards, is developed for AI platforms to efficiently handle data cleansing, complex data analysis, and enable accurate responses to user requests. Furthermore, RKP-C220 has passed the Intel Edge System Qualification (Intel ESQ) test using the AI language model for the Metro Device Qualification Test. This qualification validates RKP-C220’s ability to run demanding AI language models with high performance, enabling rapid development of AI applications.

The RKP-C220 Series is built using Moxa’s patented fanless heat-dissipation technology for reliable performance. By efficiently directing processor heat to an external cooling fin, the computer can provide stable continuous operations while running demanding AI language models for maintenance-free performance at the edge.
