Innovation at the edge
CDISC
CDISC was designed from the ground up to enable flexible, adaptable and scalable systems for edge based computing. The CDISC platform spans capability from single user devices through to sensor fusion hubs, full motion video processing, data analysis and tactical cloud provision for hundreds of local users.
Differentiators
.01
Scalable
CDISC was designed to scale from its outset. This is either within a unit, such as memory or storage, also by joining units together to form scaled platforms using virtualisation technologies to enable shared environments and pooling of resources.
.02
Modular
CDISC is made up of reusable modules (building blocks). Much like scaffolding it is possible to use CDISC to acheive a wide range of outcomes, all from the same underpinning modular building blocks.
.03
Adaptable
CDISC has been designed so it can be used for a wide range of uses. It does that by being scalable, modular but also adaptable. This might be by adding a network switch or a router via the Removeable Network Module or additional compute for virtualised network functions.
.04
Portable
The ability to lift, carry, transport, store, rack or mount CDISC was a key design metric. We know that edge devices need to be portable so the can be used in the environments they were designed. To us, portability is mesaure of size, weight and an objects overall dimensions.
CDISC F6
The CDISC F6 is the latest version of the CDISC platform. Part of the CDISC Series 6 release, the F6 delivers the highest core count and largest storage capacity we have ever managed to design into a half 19" edge server.
Based on the AMD EPYC v2 CPU, the F6 has up to 64 cores, 2TB memory and via two innovative removable storage modules, it can present up to 112TB of NVMe storage.
CDDC
CDDC enables high performance compute platforms to exist and function at the edge. CDDC provides a converged and hyper-converged edge platform that can be managed via an optional software defined controller. This enables proactive persistent management of the CDDC environment as well as 'zero-touch' builds and re-builds of the virtual environment and services.
CDDC marries the latest data centre technology and systems and packages them to work at the edge with minimal set up or management.
CDDC AzHCI F6
CDDC pushes the latest data centre technology to the edge to enable data processing, video encoding, AI and Machine learning, as well as the power to support hundreds of local connected users in disadvantaged communications environments.
CDDC enables GPUs and other PCIe devices to be added as required with Dell, Cisco or Mellanox switches providing up to 100Gbps interconnects to form a high speed platform.
Based on the latest AMD EPYC CPUs, it's possible to configure up to 64 cores per socket, with up to 1TB of DDR4 RAM per compute node. Storage can be on configured using NVMe drives, with RAID / HBA options. PCIe devices may be added via add-on modules to add GPU / NPU / FPGA capabilities as required.
CDDC AzHCI F6 is an accredited Azure Stack HCI solution and can be found on via the Microsoft Azure Catalog.
Differentiators
.01
High Performance
CDDC sets new standards for pushing high performance compute environments to the Edge. Using cutting edge data centre technology packaged in robust containment.
.02
Converged
Designed as a converged platform, CDDC supports all the leading converged platforms and architectures, including Microsoft Azure HCI and VMWare vSAN.
.03
Secure
Security is baked into the overall design of CDDC. The removable storage modules can be encrypted and the units will detect tamper on any of the CDDC units.
.04
Designed for the Edge
High performance systems are typically designed for an air conditioned data centre and expected to function at the edge in harsh environments. CDDC is designed to work in these environments, with IP65 standard protection for dust and water and wide temperature ranges.
