News Apacer and ADLINK cooperate to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence applications

The expansion of 5G and AI technologies, coupled with the increasingly diverse application scenarios of edge computing, has created opportunities for the transformation of various vertical application markets.

To address emerging storage and computing challenges, Apacer has partnered with ADLINK, a major industrial computer manufacturer, for defense and networking applications. Together, they have successfully combined Apacer’s technical strength in industrial-grade storage applications with ADLINK’s rich experience in AI edge computing platform development.

Now, they propose solutions to emerging application dilemmas, and jointly launch edge computing solutions with high durability, high reliability and excellent computing capabilities, accelerating the expansion of AIoT into new and exciting fields.

Connected monitoring and situational awareness technologies common in smart cities have recently been extended to defense. Analyzing and integrating data collected by sensors through artificial intelligence technology can provide managers with key information needed for decision-making. In addition, in the context of railway transportation, the integration of automatic train operation (ATO) technology and the supplement of edge data analysis and management such as track or platform image monitoring and passenger information systems will also greatly improve the safety of railway operations.

These emerging application scenarios all rely on highly stable storage devices and computing systems. The edge computing solution jointly developed by Apacer and ADLINK breaks past application limitations and technical bottlenecks, maximizes the performance and stability of the computing system, and accelerates the realization of more edge computing applications.

For special application scenarios, Apacer uses the CoreAnalyzer2 technology to grasp the usage behavior of end users, avoid the impact of software developed by system integrators on SSD performance, reduce unnecessary testing costs, and accelerate the mass production of computing systems. On the other hand, edge computing writes a large amount of random small data, which often causes the battery life of NAND Flash to be exhausted prematurely.

Moreover, certain applications are often installed in challenging environments that affect the stability of computing systems and pose a major threat. Apacer uses SLC-liteX technology to provide 100,000 P/E cycles. The defense series SSD produced by Apacer has passed the eight tests of the highest military specification (MIL-STD) of the US Department of Defense, and has the highest durability in the industry. These technologies can greatly increase the lifespan of computing systems and reduce the risk of critical data loss or abnormal downtime.

Unexpected shutdowns of computing systems often cause problems with industrial SSDs. Solving this pain point is an opportunity for Apacer and ADLINK. They are optimistic about the improvement of the stability of storage devices, which will be of great help to the development of edge computing and AI applications. With more than 27 years of experience in the development of rugged embedded computing systems, ADLINK has a complete open industrial computer specification: CompactPCI single-board computer product line.

CompactPCI/CompactPCI Serial Processing Platforms are equipped with advanced high-speed serial data transmission technology, combined with Apacer’s high-efficiency industrial-grade SSD solutions, to provide high performance and continuous reliability. More reliable operation. Next-generation applications for these devices include high-performance mission-critical industries such as transportation, aerospace and defense, and industrial automation.
