Vecow ICS-1000 Intel Xeon D Ice Lake-D GPU Edge Servers with Dual GPU Support and 10G SFP+

AI inference outside the data centre is moving to larger models and more cameras, and that often means two full-length graphics cards in a box that can live on a vehicle, beside a track or in a site cabinet. The Vecow ICS-1000 series is built for that: eight GPU edge servers on Intel Xeon D processors, with a power budget sized for dual GPUs and a choice of slot layout, CPU and power input.

Every model runs a 16-core Xeon D-2876NT or a 12-core Xeon D-2752TER, both Ice Lake-D parts with Intel QAT, vPro and TPM 2.0, and eight DDR4 2933 DIMM sockets for up to 512 GB. An 1800 W power budget supports two 2-slot, full-length graphics cards at up to 900 W each. Networking is four GbE ports and two 10G SFP+ ports, which Vecow supports under Windows Server, and a dedicated out-of-band port powered by Allxon allows remote power control. I/O includes four COM ports, 16 isolated DIO and M.2 sockets for optional 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi, and Vecow lists Windows Server and Linux.

The ICS-1640 models have four PCIe x16 slots, two with full PCIe 4.0 x16 signal, which suits two GPUs at full bandwidth for large vision or language models: the ICS-1640-2876NT and ICS-1640-2752TER run from 16 to 50 V DC, and the ICS-1640A-2876NT and ICS-1640A-2752TER from 90 to 240 V AC. The ICS-1660 models have six PCIe x16 slots, four with PCIe 4.0 x8 signal, for systems that combine GPUs with frame grabbers, extra network ports or fieldbus cards in one box: the ICS-1660-2876NT and ICS-1660-2752TER on DC, and the ICS-1660A-2876NT and ICS-1660A-2752TER on AC.

The DC models run from -25 °C to 45 °C with 16-mode software ignition control, which suits vehicles and rolling stock; the AC models run from -5 °C to 45 °C and are rated at 2000 W at 220 V for dual graphics card operation. All ICS-1000 GPU edge servers are fan-cooled, rated to MIL-STD-810G for vibration and shock, and listed for CE, FCC and ICES, with EMC to EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 requirements. In practice, the choice comes down to the slot layout your cards need, the CPU load beside the GPUs and whether the site supplies DC or AC power.
