Advantech has announced its 4U servers based on NVIDIA MGX, SKY-642E3, is accelerating the transformation of AI-powered factories by integrating the latest NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition into its Edge computing portfolio. Designed for enterprise and edge environments, Advantech Edge Servers provide a reliable, high-performance platform for factories to deploy a wide range of AI workloads efficiently and at scale.
Advantech Edge servers: Driving the multi-workload AI factory
The SKY-642E3 is a 4U GPU server based on NVIDIA MGX designed to power AI-driven workloads and high-performance computing applications. Built with dual AMD EPYC 9005 series processors and 24 DDR5 6400 MHz RDIMM slots, the platform delivers exceptional compute performance and memory throughput. Featuring support for up to eight double-width PCIe GPUs via a PCIe switch backplane. By combining robust server architecture with NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition, factories can accelerate diverse AI workloads, including intelligent operational control, real-time data processing, machine vision and robotics, predictive AI/ML, scientific simulation, and virtual workstations for design and visualisation.
With this integrated approach, Advantech SKY-642E3 delivers unmatched reliability and flexibility, enabling factories to implement AI at the Edge while maintaining high operational efficiency.
NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition: Universal Compute and Graphics Acceleration
Optimised for mainstream enterprise and Edge servers
With 32GB of GDDR7 memory, 800 GB/s bandwidth, and a compact single-slot, 165W FHFL PCIe form factor, NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPU achieves 1.6 times higher streaming density than L4, making it an ideal entry-tier universal compute and graphics solution for mainstream enterprise and Edge servers.
Compared to the higher-end NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition, NVIDIA 4500 Blackwell Server Edition provides a cost-effective option for developers and enterprises seeking high-performance AI acceleration at the Edge.
Professional graphics and visualisation
For professional graphics and visualisation, the GPU incorporates NVIDIA fourth-generation RT Cores, Neural Shaders, and DLSS 4, enabling virtual workstations, AI visualisation, and content creation at up to four times the performance of L4.
Universal accelerator for AI inference, video, data processing
NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition features fifth-generation Tensor Cores, second-generation Transformer Engine with FP4 precision, and advanced Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) support, delivering up to three times the AI performance compared to the previous L4 generation.
Driving AI factories into the future
By integrating the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPU into its Edge servers, Advantech empowers factories to adopt AI at scale with a platform that supports multi-workload AI, real-time data analytics, and advanced visualisation. This collaboration enables enterprises to maximise operational efficiency, enhance production quality, and accelerate their digital transformation journey.
