The XR5610 server, like its predecessor XR11, is a short-depth ruggedized, single socket, 1U monolithic server, purpose-built for the edge and telecom workloads. Its rugged design also accommodates military and defense deployments, retail AI, including video monitoring, IoT device aggregation, and point-of-sale analytics.
The following features make the XR5610 suitable for edge deployments:
The XR8000 is a short depth, 400 mm class chassis with options to choose from 1U or 2U half-width hot-swappable compute sleds with up to four nodes per chassis. The XR8000 supports three-sled configurations designed for flexible deployments. These can be 4 x 1U sleds, 2 x 1U and 1 x 2U sleds or 2 x 2U sleds.
The 1U and 2U sleds are based on Intel’s 4th Generation Xeon Scalable Processors, with up to 32 cores, and support for both Sapphire Rapids SP and Edge Enhanced (EE) with Intel® vRAN Boost processors. Both sled types have 8 x RDIMM slots and support for 2 x M.2 NVMe boot devices with optional RAID 1 support, two optional 25 GbE LAN-on-Motherboard (LoM) ports and eight Dry Contact Sensors though an RJ45 connector.
