Advantech AIR-420: Award-Winning Power for AI at the Edge
Edge deployments have traditionally required bulky systems, high infrastructure costs, and complex integration. That’s why the Advantech AIR-420 stands out.
This compact powerhouse was recently recognized on the world stage, winning the Best Choice Award 2025 at COMPUTEX for its innovation in edge computing.
Big Performance, Smallest Footprint
The AIR-420 is officially the world’s smallest Edge-AI server—but don’t let its size fool you. It delivers performance on par with much larger systems:
-
Dual 3.9-slot GPUs
-
AMD Ryzen™ 7000/9000 CPUs
-
Up to 192 GB DDR5 memory
-
208 TFLOPS FP32 performance
And with intelligent fan control plus a redundant power supply, it’s designed for nonstop reliability, even under heavy workloads.
Why It Won: Smarter, More Efficient AI
The AIR-420’s real breakthrough lies in its support for SQ ai100 AI-SSDs with aiDAPTIV+. This technology cuts GPU requirements from 30 down to just 2, while still enabling the deployment of demanding workloads like LLMs at the edge.
The impact is clear:
-
Up to 90% lower AI costs
-
Faster, easier deployment
-
Smaller energy footprint
It’s this combination of raw performance and efficiency that earned the AIR-420 global recognition at COMPUTEX 2025.
AI Deployment made accessible with GenAI Studio
Beyond hardware, the AIR-420 includes GenAI Studio, a no-code platform designed to make AI model development and optimization simple, intuitive, and accessible. Organizations can now:
-
Speed up time-to-value on AI projects
-
Reduce reliance on external expertise
-
Adapt AI to industry-specific needs with ease
Unlocking Value Across Industries
With the AIR-420, AI can now thrive at the edge in ways that matter most:
-
Healthcare: Real-time medical imaging for better patient care
-
Manufacturing: Predictive maintenance and automation to drive efficiency
-
Smart Cities: Safer, more sustainable infrastructure powered by data
-
Enterprise AI: Deploy LLMs and generative AI without the heavy GPU footprint
