HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 19 December, 2017 - Artesyn Embedded Technologies today announced a new member of its MaxCore™ platform family of computing servers. The MaxCore Industrial PC (IPC) platform offers high-performance, high-density and scalable versatility for developers of industrial applications such as machine vision, video surveillance, data acquisition and control, data analytics and fog computing.^[1][2][3]

New MaxCore™ Industrial PC Platform

Based on the PCI Express architecture, the MaxCore IPC platform can meet a wide range of compute, I/O, or image processing requirement using Artesyn, third-party, or custom PCIe cards. The MaxCore IPC platform has an Intel^® Xeon^® processor D based motherboard connected with 15 PCIe slots, 13 of which are full-length and full-height, to support a heterogeneous mix of compute, I/O, acceleration and storage.The PCIe card slots support high powered, double-wide GPU cards, to provide a range of acceleration options. Four DDR4 DIMM memory slots in the system can provide up to 128 GB RAM.  Flexible storage is available with Artesyn's series of PCI Express add-in cards that allow developers to add NVMeM.2 form factor SSD modules to the platform. The system offers a web-based graphical software management interface.^[4]

The 3U (5.25 inches, 133.4 mm) high system is just 508mm deep and designed for mounting in standard 19-inch server racks. The system operates on up to twointegrated 1100-watt AC power supply providing up to 150 watts per PCIe slot. The system has capacity for up to three 1100-watt power supplies for redundancy. The MaxCore IPC platform has cooling capacity for up to 1800 watts at 40 degrees Celsius.
