Advantech has released the AIR-500D high-performance AI system supporting dual NVIDIA RTX GPUs. The solution leverages Intel Xeon D-1700 processors and two PCIe x16 slots that support dual high-performance GPU cards to deliver server-class performance.

The AIR-500D is said to be able to process large datasets and compute-intensive workloads when applied to AI inferencing and training applications. In addition, it supports wide operating temperature operation (-10 to +50°C) and features a 1200 W power supply suitable for industrial environments. AIR-500D also leverages a baseboard management controller (BMC) and Advantech DeviceOn software to enable a wide range of edge AI solutions, including those found in machine automation and vision.

Deploying AI in real-world applications requires machine learning training and inference for AI models. AIR-500D is designed to help businesses accrue value from their AI investment, especially when applied to massive data, image/audio classification, recommendations and decision-making. AIR-500D is powered by Intel Xeon (up to 10 cores) and supports dual GPU cards at up to 800 W for immediate training and high-performance inference.

It also features TPM and adheres to PFR NIST for advanced security and firmware resiliency. This combination of features facilitates the remote execution of administrative tasks and provides an integrated multi-hardware defence mechanism for stable daily operation when applied to server power cycle, fan speed and component temperature monitoring, and hardware failure analysis.
