Rapid advances in agentic AI, generative AI (Gen AI), and AI-powered inferencing are accelerating data-driven industrial applications—and the server platforms they run on. From manufacturing line inspection and defect detection to medical imaging and process documentation, industrial operators are benefitting from unprecedented productivity gains enabled by AI technology.

With innovative CPU-plus-GPU server architectures now at their disposal, AI solution providers are capitalizing on meteoric growth everywhere industrial AI is deployed. In response, edge server pioneers like Advantech SKY-622G4 are combining the dependability and consistency of x86-based server processors with the raw computational performance of NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs in a 2U single platform.

Scaling to Meet AI Performance Demands: Advantech SKY-622G4 and NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs

Meeting the fast-growing requirements of LLM training and inference depends on steady advances in performance and efficiency. The Advantech SKY-622G4 platform is a 2U MGX GPU server that enables on-premises AI processing for real-time and secure data applications (Figure 1). Based on dual Intel® Xeon® 6 processors and the NVIDIA MGX™ reference architecture, it supports up to 4x PCIe GPU cards with a two- or four-way 900 GB/s NVIDIA NVLink™ bridge interface per GPU for enhanced data transfer in multi-GPU setups.

While there are many choices for PCIe GPU cards to support AI functionality, NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs based on the Hopper GPU architecture are built for the extreme performance demands of AI tasks.

With its advanced processing capabilities, the NVIDIA H200 NVL has a maximum power dissipation of 600 W (configurable), requiring passive cooling via a heatsink. This is ideal for compact rack designs like the Advantech SKY-622G4, which features 6x high-speed fans that operate in temperatures up to 35°C.
