Efficiency Meets Performance – Compact Servers for Demanding Workloads

In industrial applications, AI-driven systems, and edge computing environments, high-performance servers must deliver maximum power within a compact space. This is precisely where the new Short Depth Server (3U / 2U) from OSS excels. At this year’s Embedded World in Nuremberg, we will showcase the next generation of rugged, AI-ready PCIe Gen 5 Short Depth Servers, designed to meet the toughest computing challenges.

Industrial AI applications, real-time data processing, and high-performance edge computing demand powerful, rugged systems with high GPU density and efficient thermal management. Traditional servers quickly reach their limits in these scenarios.

The OSS Short Depth Server (3U / 2U) is specifically designed for high-performance, space-constrained environments. With a depth of just 47 cm, it fits perfectly into compact racks while delivering top-tier performance for demanding AI and machine learning workloads.

Maximum Performance in a Compact Design

The next-generation space-saving design of our Short Depth Servers enables deployment in data centers, industrial control systems, and edge computing environments where every centimeter matters. A key advantage is the support for PCIe Gen5, which not only delivers exceptional bandwidth but also allows seamless integration of GPUs, network cards, and storage solutions.

With a powerful computing performance, a rugged chassis, and efficient thermal management, this server is the ideal choice for demanding applications in AI, machine learning, big data, and automation.

Technical Highlights at a Glance:

• Powerful GPU Integration: Supports up to 4x 350W GPUs for AI and high-performance computing
• Flexible Storage Options: Accommodates up to 16 NVMe/SATA drives with hot-swap functionality
• PCIe Gen5 Connectivity: Up to 7x PCIe x16 slots for maximum bandwidth
• Efficient Cooling Technologies: Choice of air, liquid, or immersion cooling
• Advanced Power Supply: Supports 400Hz AC for demanding industrial applications
• Remote Management (U-BMC): Comprehensive remote control, monitoring, and automation

Custom Configuration for Every Requirement

Not every application requires the same hardware setup. That’s why we offer the Short Depth Server in three different configurations to ensure optimal adaptation to individual needs. Whether it's maximum GPU power for machine learning, a balanced combination of storage and computing performance, or a storage-optimized solution for big data – our variants provide the right performance for every use case:

• Zero Drive Pack: Focused on maximum GPU performance with flexible I/O options for data-intensive workloads. This variant is ideal for compute-heavy AI models and machine learning applications.
• One Drive Pack: A balanced combination of GPU power and storage for versatile applications, including industrial automation and medical technology.
• Dual Drive Pack: An optimized data-logging solution with high storage capacity for big data, IoT edge applications, and extensive analytics.
