As the field of artificial intelligence (AI) evolves, so does the hardware required to support AI applications. In particular, the demand for AI-rugged edge computing has never been higher.
Rugged edge computing is a type of computing that is designed to operate in harsh environments. This can include anywhere from the desert to the Arctic. Rugged edge computing is often used in military and industrial applications where conventional computers would quickly fail.
The demand for AI-rugged edge computing has increased as more AI applications are being developed in these harsh environments. However, not all hardware is created equal, and choosing a hardware partner that can provide the right solution for your specific needs is important.
Three reasons why choosing the right hardware partner is critical for AI rugged edge computing:
Factors to consider when choosing a hardware partner:
When it comes to choosing a hardware partner for AI-rugged edge computing, there are some key factors you should consider. Here are some of the most important ones:
Conclusion
In conclusion, selecting the right hardware partner for AI-rugged edge computing is critical. With the growing demand and complexities of this type of technology, it's essential to choose a partner that has experience in this field, understands your needs, and can provide solutions tailored to them. Doing so will ensure that your project runs smoothly from start to finish and maximize its potential success.

The rugged edge computing landscape is becoming increasingly complex with new generations of technologies, such as the latest AI focused GPUs, releasing annually rather than every 2-3 years. Whether the end application is commercial or defense, rugged edge servers must not only deliver cutting-edge compute performance but also withstand extreme environmental conditions.
When the PCI-SIG formally added support for 675W add-in card devices in the PCI Express Card Electromechanical (CEM) specification in August 2023, NVIDIA’s most powerful CEM GPU, the NVIDIA H100 80GB had a maximum power consumption of 350W. While some devices were starting to push the limits of datacenter thermodynamics – high density systems of many 675W devices seemed like a distant reality. However, with power constraints uncapped and the need for higher performing GPUs skyrocketing, the industry quickly came out with devices taking full advantage of the new specification capability. NVIDIA quickly replaced the H100 80GB with the H100 NVL, increasing power density to 400W. While this small jump was manageable for existing installations, NVIDIA then dove all-in with the H200 NVL released in late 2024 at 600W. The rapid transition from 350W to 600W has put power and cooling technologies in the spotlight in a race to solve this next generation challenge.
The advent of technology has always brought about significant changes to various industries, and the transportation sector is no exception. Among the most transformative innovations in recent years is the development of autonomous vehicles, particularly trucks. The potential for autonomous trucks to revolutionize freight transport is immense, raising the fundamental question: will these technological advancements make human drivers obsolete? To explore this question, we must consider the current state of autonomous driving technology, the economic implications, and the societal impact of removing human drivers from the equation.
