Edge Servers & Workstations

Use Cases

Edge servers are becoming essential infrastructure for modern enterprises because they deliver the high-performance, low latency processing required not only for AI inference and automation, but also for a wide range of non-AI tasks such as data filtering, protocol translation, local storage, network optimization, and real-time control of industrial equipment. In distributed environments like factory floors, cell towers, retail stores, and remote logistics, hubs edge servers handle mission critical workloads that must operate reliably even when cloud connectivity is limited. To ensure this reliability, Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) play a pivotal role by enabling out of band management, allowing IT teams to monitor hardware health, reboot systems, and perform remote repairs even when the operating system is unresponsive, or the power is off. This capability reduces costly onsite maintenance, improves uptime, and ensures that both AI-driven processes and non-AI operational tasks continue running smoothly.

In this section, we showcase a variety of edge servers for applications use cases. SolidRun’s embedded edge computers platforms and development services help OEMs and system integrators accelerate development and deployment.

ARM based NAS
As computing moves closer to the data source, edge servers and workstations are increasingly used for local processing, networking workloads, and software development. ARM-based platforms are well suited for these environments thanks to their power efficiency, compact form factor, and support for standard Linux operating systems.
OUR ADVANTAGE
Product: HoneyComb LX2 Server & Workstation
Customers often look for reliable ARM-based systems to deploy edge services or to develop and test applications locally. The HoneyComb LX2 Server and Workstation provide a stable, high-performance ARM platform with advanced networking capabilities and long-term availability. SolidRun supports customers with customization options and system-level expertise, enabling efficient edge deployments and ARM native development while keeping power consumption and system cost under control.

ARM Servers for Data Centers
Leading service providers such as AWS announced the deployment of ARM-based servers in their Data Centers. The new holistic approach by new server incumbents focuses not just on cost and energy-saving but claims that multiple smaller nodes with less powerful processors can be more efficient in running some applications and sharing workload vs. several central nodes based on one powerful processor.
OUR ADVANTAGE
Product: NXP Layerscape LX2160 COM Express type 7
The COM express type 7 standard allows maximum flexibility and modularity, using SolidRun’s off-the-shelf COMe 7 board, the customer was able to quickly prototype and develop his own custom hardware with SolidRun’s engineering support and schematics review.
