Apacer and ADLINK partner to accelerate AI application development

The expansion of 5G and AI technology, along with the increasingly diverse application scenarios of edge computing, have created an opportunity for the transformation of various vertical application markets.

In response to emerging computing and storage challenges, Apacer Technology and ADLINK, a leading manufacturer of industrial computers, have cooperated on defense and networking applications. Together, they successfully integrated Apacer’s technical strength in industrial storage applications with ADLINK’s rich experience in developing AI edge computing platforms.

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

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

All these emerging application scenarios are based on highly stable storage devices and computing systems. The edge computing solution jointly developed by Apacer and ADLINK overcomes application limitations and technical bottlenecks, maximizes IT system performance and stability, and accelerates the realization of more edge computing applications.

For special application scenarios, Apacer uses CoreAnalyzer2 technology to understand end-user usage behavior, avoiding the impact of software developed by system integrators on SSD performance, reducing unnecessary testing costs, and speeding up mass production. of computer systems. On the other hand, large amounts of small random data are written to the edge computing, which often leads to premature depletion of NAND Flash resistor.

Also, certain applications are often installed in challenging environments that can affect the stability of the computer system, thus posing a major threat. Apacer adopts SLC-liteX technology to provide 100,000 P/E cycles and has produced Defense Series SSDs that have passed eight US Department of Defense Military Specification Highest (MIL-STD) tests ( DoD), with the highest durability in the industry. Technologies like these can greatly improve the lifespan of your computer system and reduce the risk of key data loss or abnormal downtime.

Unexpected shutdowns of a computer system can often cause problems with industrial SSDs. Solving this pain point is an opportunity for Apacer and ADLINK, who are optimistic about improving the stability of storage devices, which will greatly help the development of cutting-edge computing and AI applications. With over 27 years of experience developing robust embedded computing systems, ADLINK has a completely open industrial computer specification: the CompactPCI single-board computer product line.

CompactPCI/CompactPCI serial processing platforms feature advanced and high-speed serial data transmission technology, equipped with Apacer’s high-efficiency industrial SSD solutions, provide high performance and continuous reliability, and are well suited for performing artificial intelligence with graph processing and analysis to promote safer, smarter and more reliable operation. The next generation of applications for these devices include high-performance, mission-critical industries such as transportation, aerospace and defense, as well as industrial automation.
