IEI Releases 2U Rackmount Computer Featuring Low-profile PCIe 3.0 and RAID Storage – FLEX-BX210-Q470
IEI Integration Corp., a leading provider of industrial computing service, introduced the FLEX-BX210 2U rackmount computer engineered with the latest processing technology that powers AI computation and edge computing. With multiple high-end sockets for AI accelerators and NVMe storage, the FLEX-BX210 is capable of processing large volumes of complex data to drive AI functions at the edge. Additionally, it equips four SSD bays offering RAID 0, 1, 5 & 10 functions to ensure maximum security of data and optimal efficiency of performance.
Up to 10 Cores 4.5GHz with DDR4-2933
The FLEX-BX210 is powered by 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors ranging from 4 to 10 cores, and is pre-installed up to 16GB DDR4-2933 dual-channel memory. With up to 50% better integer multi-tasking compute performance than previous gen, the FLEX-BX210 is able to deliver the performance required to rapidly consolidate diverse workloads.
Ability to Scale via 4 Low-profile PCIe Gen3 Expansion Slots
The FLEX-BX210 supports multiple PCI Express slots including two PCIe x8 and two PCIe x4 slots. All of the four expansion slots of the FLEX series support PCIe Gen3, which doubles the speed per lane from 500MB/s to 1GB/s compared to PCIe Gen2. These high-speed PCIe Gen3 slots are compatible with standard low profile add-on cards.
Reliable RAID Storage Secures Data Processing
The FLEX-BX210 offers four 2.5" SSD slots via SATA 6Gb/s interfaces that support reliable hardware RAID protection to expand storage capacity and enable fast, secure data transfer/backup. Different RAID levels (RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10) can be configured to increase performance and/or provide automatic protection against data loss from drive failure.
Three 2.5GbE for Bandwidth-Intensive Applications
Three 2.5GbE RJ-45 ports are provided to meet requirements of bandwidth-demanding applications, such as AI and data centers. Industry 4.0 can also be realized by using two LAN for operational technology (OT) and one for information technology (IT) to connect more field devices in industrial automation.
High-efficient 350W 80-Plus Gold Power Supply
The 80-plus Gold power supply is implemented into the FLEX-BX210, which reduces power loss and increases efficiency during power transition. With the certified power supply, the computer could maintain up to 87% efficiency with less than 13% power loss in AC to DC conversion.
