Supermicro Introduces New All-in-One Open RAN System Optimized for Telco Edge Data Centers with Built-in Intel vRAN Boost

Expanded Edge Server Portfolio Delivers Improved Performance and Power Efficiency for Open RAN and Intelligent Edge Workloads 

SAN JOSE, Calif. and LAS VEGAS, Sept. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a Total IT Solution Manufacturer for AI, Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, announces the expansion of its portfolio of purpose-built servers for Edge AI and Telco workloads. The new Supermicro X13 Edge server, the SYS-211E-FRN13P, delivers a scalable, integrated Distributed Unit (DU) Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) server. As virtualized Open RAN technology has matured to the point where it’s become proven, companies are looking for solutions that enable them to optimize deployments and reduce costs. This solution means shifting the emphasis to attributes such as cost, power consumption, size and weight, and scalability.

“We are very excited to deliver all-in-one servers for the next generation of telco and edge deployments for vRAN and private 5G environments,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “Our range of telco offerings allows for a more streamlined deployment at scale, which will expand the use of these new technologies to deliver more effective and reliable communication networks at scale.”

Explore Supermicro’s Edge Servers 

Supermicro’s latest edge platform is specifically designed to meet those requirements. Based on 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Intel vRAN Boost, it features fully integrated vRAN acceleration that eliminates the need for an external acceleration card, thereby substantially reducing system power requirements and complexity. The system also features an onboard network interface and 12 SFP25G ports, eliminating the need for add-on cards and breakout cables, fully integrated timing support with eight hours of holding time, and a compact, long-life design. The Supermicro SYS-211E systems deliver a fully integrated server optimized for cost, size, and power usage, handling large volumes of traffic at the edge across multiple cell site configurations, including massive MIMO streams.

Additionally, Supermicro is launching a 4-node version of the SuperEdge, a versatile edge server designed to handle a range of demanding workloads at remote network locations. Each of the four nodes in this 2U rackmount server features a single-socket 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor and runs independently of the other nodes. This enables the system to run multiple workloads in parallel, each with dedicated resources. The Supermicro SYS-211TP offers 2 PCIe 5.0 x16 FHHL slots per node, allowing each individual node to be optimized with add-on cards to match its designated workloads, including running as a DU or Centralized Unit (CU) in RAN networks, MEC, and enterprise edge workloads.

“Supermicro continues to deliver the latest technology to market in their solutions for virtualized RAN and intelligent workloads across the edge,” said Cristina Rodriguez, vice president and general manager, Wireless Access Network Division at Intel. “By using our broad portfolio of technology, including the newest 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Data Center GPUs, Supermicro can offer innovative server designs that provide the industry with powerful, highly optimized platforms for a range of use cases at the edge.”

Supermicro is bringing new compact edge systems to remote deployments outside the data center, using the latest generation of Intel processors. Among these are the SYS-521AD-TN2 mini-tower, the E102-13R, and the E302-12A systems. The SYS-521AD and E102-13R are both based on 13th Gen Intel Core processors. The SYS-521AD mini-tower is optimized for video processing, streaming, and storage and can be used as an edge server for small and medium businesses. The E102 packs up to 16 cores, 64GB memory, and a range of ports and expansion slots in a mini 1U embedded form factor, ideal for AI inferencing, retail, and signage workloads. The E302, featuring the latest Intel Atom C5000 processor in a fanless compact design, delivers cost-efficient performance to remote locations in a durable, low-noise form factor.

A common feature of Supermicro’s new systems for edge workloads is the emphasis on support for GPU accelerators and AI inferencing. An increasing number of these systems are compatible with accelerators, including the NVIDIA A100, L40, L40S, L4, A2, and T1000, the Intel Data Center GPU Flex 140 and the Intel Data Center GPU Flex 170, and even specialized accelerators such as the Hailo-8™ AI processor. This flexibility enables customers to use application optimized Supermicro systems at the intelligent edge to match the specific requirements of their workloads, leading to better results and minimizing latency.

Harnessing AI to Find Ideal Business Partners in International Trade


REHOBOTH BEACH, Del., Sept. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Securing trustworthy business partners in international trade has always been a challenging task, requiring years of meticulous and painstaking groundwork, careful analysis, and the courage to deal with uncertainty. This article explores how cutting-edge AI tools, such as Volza, have been innovatively tackling these persistent challenges.

Evaluating potential partners from their online presence has been a formidable hurdle. There are no foolproof methods to ensure the competency and reliability of these entities based solely on their digital footprint. Conducting in-person visits, although insightful, is both time-consuming and costly. Moreover, transactions with unfamiliar buyers could result in bad debts, while dealings with unknown suppliers might yield subpar products or even lead to a total loss of the advance payment.

These hurdles are particularly daunting for professionals in the export-import industry aiming to broaden their global trade reach. In response, an AI-Powered tool like Volza allows professionals to strategically use the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to navigate these challenges and make informed decisions. Volza provides an extensive global trade database, including complete shipment details through bills of lading. This tool arms users with essential information about active exporters and importers, capturing years of their export-import experience, current buyers and suppliers, transaction frequency, ongoing orders, shipment volumes, pricing, consignment numbers, and an exhaustive trade history. With this wealth of data, users can confidently assess and choose suitable business partners.

Vijay Sethia, Director of Chamanlal Sethia, one of India’s foremost rice exporters, testifies to the transformative impact of these tools. According to Sethia, the introduction of trade data portals has empowered them to dramatically expand their business operations. Gone are the days of protracted struggles, with years spent on marketing, traveling, and product sampling. Today, importers and exporters can swiftly map out their market, efficiently identifying trustworthy and reliable business partners in just a matter of hours.

While other trade databases like Panjiva and ImportGenius offer similar services, they seem to cover fewer countries. A glance at the Volza website shows that it provides trade data for more than 80 countries, while Panjiva and ImportGenius support a trade base across 10 and 14 countries, respectively.

Michael Robinson, Director of Volza, emphasizes their mission to expedite the entire process of identifying suitable business partners. “We aim to make it quicker, more cost-effective, and feasible. Users can bypass years of relentless effort, elevating their businesses to new heights with confidence, and in a fraction of the traditional timeframe,” he explains.

Platforms like Volza also overcome the obstacle of procuring direct contact details for key decision-makers. Whether it’s the export head, import head, or other relevant stakeholders, Volza’s built-in function provides access to their contact information and even links to their LinkedIn profiles.

In conclusion, AI’s integration into international trade is ushering in a transformative era. Platforms like Volza are making the identification and evaluation of business partners more efficient and reliable. By offering extensive trade data and essential contact information, these platforms are setting new benchmarks in the sector. It’s clear that AI-powered trade data tools are more than clever business strategies; they are now a prerequisite for success in the globalized marketplace. As AI and Big Data technologies continue to evolve, their impact on facilitating international trade will only expand, heralding a future where global business expansion is seamless and confident.

About Volza:

Founded in 2017, Volza is dedicated to propelling global business expansion for export-import companies. Harnessing advanced analytics and dashboard tools, Volza unveils hidden opportunities and threats, empowering import-export businesses to thrive in today’s competitive market. As an industry disruptor, Volza offers access to comprehensive global trade data, facilitating confident decision-making. Discover more at https://www.volza.com/.

This year, 7 media houses awarded CASETiFY the “Best of IFA” title.

Global tech media Make Use Of (MUO) had the following : stylish yet hard-wearing, Casetify knows how to keep your phone safe, giving you peace of mind that your new handset isn’t going to meet an untimely demise”.

Yanko Design added” Manufacturers naturally design their phones to be beautiful and durable, but let’s face it, not all designs suit everyone’s tastes and not all phones survive the smallest accidents. That’s why there’s a thriving market for cases, for protection or for decoration, but it’s rare to find designs that attempt to do both. Of course, those do exist, and the new CASETiFY Ultra Bounce Case is one that tries to satisfy both needs.

The Ultra Bounce Case is expected to help consumers push the limits of extreme protection by being able to withstand single drop heights of up to 10m (32ft). Beyond sporting 10X Military Grade Standard (MIL-STD 810G 516.7), the case will also be fully customizable in a variety of fonts, patterns and colors, and available in the endless design options that CASETiFY is known for. After the IFA announcement, sales for the Ultra Bounce Case are expected to open mid-September.
