Workstation-class compute. Rackmount form factor. Deployed where the work happens.
Edge computing usually means tablets, laptops and compact desktops pushed to the edge of a network. That model works for lightweight tasks. It doesn’t work when the application demands real processing power ie high-resolution video analytics, real-time signal processing, complex automation logic or dense I/O handling. G2 rackmount edge systems exist for that gap: the workload that needs workstation-class CPU, GPU and memory bandwidth, but is housed in a rack at the point of deployment rather than in a data centre.
When a laptop or mini-PC isn’t enough.
The applications that push people toward G2 rackmount edge systems share one thing in common: they need more than a small form factor device can provide. Whether it’s a broadcast truck broadcasting and running multiple video streams or a production line running real-time visual inspection at full camera resolution or a control room processing feeds from dozens of sensors simultaneously. All these are workloads that need full PCIe bandwidth, full memory channel width, sustained CPU and GPU performance in a chassis that can be racked at the point of use.
• Full desktop CPU platforms – Intel Core and AMD Ryzen in 1U and 2U rackmount chassis
• High-bandwidth GPU options for real-time processing and local AI inference
• Multiple PCIe slots for capture cards, I/O expansion, and specialist peripherals
• Deployed into racks on location: OB trucks, production facilities, control rooms, industrial plant
Specified for the environment, not just the application.
A rackmount edge system may go into a touring rack that gets loaded and unloaded twice a week or a fixed installation in an industrial environment with continuous vibration and variable temperature. G2 engineers work through the physical deployment of chassis construction, airflow constraints, cabling, power input all alongside the compute specification. The system is built for where it’s going, not just what it needs to run.
Consistent builds across multi-unit deployments.
If you’re deploying the same platform across multiple locations or maintaining a fleet, consistency matters. G2 builds to a documented specification so every unit in a deployment is identical whether it’s the same components, same configuration, same test record. Replacement and maintenance stays straightforward because there’s no variance to account for.
