Siemens Industrial Rack PC
SIMATIC IPC RS-282A
SIMATIC IPC RS-828A is a rugged industrial PC of the server class in 19″ rack design (2 U) with different AI accelerator cards.
It offers:
- High performance from the data centers to the industrial environment
- Remote manageability (BMC)
- AMD EPYC Embedded technology
The rugged industrial PC of the server class.
The latest SIMATIC RACK server with two height units enables the use of up to two double-width, high-performance AI accelerator cards. These can be plugged into the two risers, each with two PCle Gen. 5.0 interfaces. As a true industrial PC, it was developed for hyperconvergent infrastructures and offers a wide range of applications here: As a basis for telecommunication services, data center and private IoT cloud.
The server gets its computing performance from two AMD® EPYC™ Embedded Server processors.
The robust industrial design allows reliable use even in harsh environments at ambient temperatures of up to 45 °C. The SIMATIC IPC RS-828A is not affected by vibrations and delivers constant computing and graphics performance.
With up to 8 drives and a maximum of 6 TB RAM (24 DIMMs), the latest RACK server provides sufficient memory. The two 10 GB Ethernet ports on board enable stable data exchange in a wide range of applications. The other 3 PCIe Gen. 5.0 slots provide space for additional extensions, such as additional network cards.
