Kompakte Power für die Zukunft
Supermicro präsentierte neue WIO Server mit AMD EPYC™ 8005 Prozessoren auf dem MWC 2026
This year’s NVIDIA GTC keynote was far more than just a product showcase – it served as a strategic roadmap for the future of AI in business. Jensen Huang painted a picture of a new era in which AI no longer merely communicates, but acts autonomously, solves complex problems and prepares decisions.
The message is clear: AI is becoming the core infrastructure of every business. The technologies presented are no longer experiments for research laboratories, but production-ready tools that will fundamentally transform everyday business operations.
This gives rise to four key areas of focus for your practice:
- Agent-based AI is becoming a reality: with NeMo and OpenShell, you can now launch your first pilot projects – securely, in a controlled manner, and with a direct link to your business processes.
- The infrastructure is becoming scalable: from the compact DGX Spark for agile teams to the high-performance, liquid-cooled AI Factory – there is a suitable solution for every scale.
- Edge and embedded systems are gaining in importance: if AI is to operate in the real world, it requires robust, secure and low-latency platforms – this is precisely where the new embedded solutions come in.
- Data becomes a strategic advantage: the new storage architectures make your data assets truly AI-ready, transforming them from mere repositories of information into intelligent capital.
Here are the most relevant announcements for all companies looking to put AI to productive use now.
The flagship model AS-1115S-FWTRT is a system designed for edge computing. In a compact 1U form factor with a reduced depth (short-depth), this single-socket server combines the latest generation of AMD processors with up to 84 ‘Zen 5c’ cores. The design has been specifically developed for environments where space is at a premium and reliability is paramount.
- NEBS compliance for telco deployment: The system is designed for demanding environments such as outdoor stations.
- Front I/O for easy maintenance: All ports are accessible from the front, which improves serviceability in tight racks or enclosures.
- Quiet operation: The thermal design enables quiet operation – suitable for IT rooms in retail or office environments.
The AMD EPYC 8005 processors have been designed to deliver a balanced combination of performance, energy efficiency and low total cost of ownership (TCO). With a core density of up to 84 cores within a TDP of up to 225W, they address the balance between performance per watt and performance per dollar.
Optimisations for virtualised RAN architectures
For telecommunications providers relying on vRAN, the new CPUs offer targeted optimisations for LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) decoding.
- Latency reduction: Hardware optimisation of forward error correction supports 5G throughput.
- Resource freed-up: More efficient processing of computationally intensive tasks frees up resources for additional Layer 1 and Layer 2 processing. This enables more functions per server and can improve the economics of the RAN.
Applications in the retail sector
In the retail sector, the system can be used for inventory management systems, point-of-sale terminals or as a server in small IT rooms. The compact and quiet design of the WIO server is tailored for these environments.
Edge services
For content delivery networks (CDNs), edge computing services and virtualisation solutions, the system provides a platform for low-latency edge services.
