Supermicro servers
IoT SuperServer SYS-112B-FWT
A compact 1U rack server built for edge, IoT and embedded use cases, the SYS-112B-FWT supports a single Intel® Xeon® 6700 / 6500 series processor (P-cores or 6700-series with E-cores), making it suitable for applications such as multi-access edge computing, Open-RAN / flex-RAN, and satellite or telecom deployments.
IoT SYS-E100-14AM-E
A compact fanless embedded system featuring the Intel® Atom® x7433RE processor (4 cores, 9W TDP), the SYS-E100-14AM-E is designed for edge, IoT, and embedded applications. It offers robust connectivity with dual 2.5GbE ports (Intel® I226-IT), supports up to 16GB DDR5 memory.
Supermicro SYS-210SE-31A IoT
A compact 2U short-depth server for edge, IoT, and telecom, the SYS-210SE-31A has three hot-swappable nodes, each with a single 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable CPU, up to 2TB DDR4 ECC, PCIe Gen4, and dual M.2 NVMe — ideal for 5G, Open-RAN, and edge workloads.
Strategic Vision
With our approach, we aim to redefine the embedded cybersecurity landscape by bringing together Exein’s advanced solutions and Supermicro’s industry-leading hardware, enabling businesses to deploy infrastructure with a zero-trust security model from the outset.
