The "Fly-Away Kit" from NextComputing Goes Anywhere You Go.

NextComputing unveiled their Nexus “Fly-Away Kit” that delivers multiple Ampere Altra servers for a total of 512 cores and a petabyte of storage. The kit includes a rolling functional hard case and different system designs. Its many 2U or 1U systems (nodes) are fit into a 22" x 14" x 9" IATA and TSA approved rolling carry-on that suits overhead bins. For strong edge AI and computing applications, users obtain high bandwidth, multi-node, and cloud native capabilities. The kit makes use of the numerous applications for which Ampere processors are optimized in addition to NextComputing's software integration capabilities. Software can be tested and pre-installed to provide a system that is operational from the start. For installations like Kubernetes clusters or edge computing solutions, the Nexus with Ampere is appropriate. Possible Setups: 8 terabytes of memory and 4 x 1U nodes with 512 Ampere Altra cores One petabyte of high-speed NVMe storage 8x 25GbE SPF28 or 8x 10GbE NVIDIA GPU options An affordable base configuration is offered. Applications: Cybersecurity reaction, broadcasting Use cases for portable mini data centers Additional solutions for edge computing NextComputing has been able to increase compute capacity in the carry-on form factor by four times thanks to Ampere's dense computation and power efficiency. We were at our limit with x86 and couldn't proceed any further, according to Bob Labadini, CTO of NextComputing.
