EDGEBoost Nodes are modular hardware performance accelerators for C&T's RCO-6000 Series Industrial Computer. When paired together, EDGEBoost Nodes enable additional GPU and/or NVMe support, and PCIe/PCI expansion options for even greater performance at the rugged edge.

EDGEBoost Nodes are only compatible with RCO-6000-CFL, RCO-6000-CML Series and future RCO-6000 generations. Most EDGEBoost Nodes are interchangeable with these two series, aside from the SATA and 4NVME-H-1EXP nodes, which are exclusive to the RCO-6000-CML Series.

No, EDGEBoost Nodes are specifically designed to be compatible with C&T’s RCO-6000-CFL and RCO-6000-CML Series industrial computers only.

EDGEBoost Nodes are connected to compatible RCO-6000 Series Industrial Computers through a PCIe riser card or SAS connector (depending on model). This allows the RCO-6000 Series to maximize PCIe faster throughput and better bandwidth for performance acceleration with a modular approach

Yes, specific EDGEboost Nodes support NVMe storage for real-time data processing and high-speed acquisition.

NVMe-focused EDGEBoost Nodes contain 1-2 EDGEBoost DataBricks. These EDGEBoost Databricks are hot-swappable canisters that hold multiple hot-swappable NVMe U.2 drives (2.5” 7mm or 15mm). They offer a convenient, reliable, and streamlined data offloading process without the need for tools, as well as maximized high-speed storage capacity for enhanced data acquisition.

Yes, specific GPU and PWR nodes, support a GPU for real-time AI inferencing and various computer vision applications. EDGEBoost Nodes that support GPUs also include a hot-swappable active cooling fan for thermal regulation and easy maintenance.  Only specific GPU models have been tested and validated to work with C&T EDGEboost Nodes; contact us to learn more about compatible GPUs.

EDGEBoost Nodes with PCI/PCIe expansion slots can be utilized for various applications. High-speed network cards, video capture cards, and even GPUs are a few examples of how expansion slots are used.

Specific EDGEBoost Nodes with GPU support, when paired with compatible RCO-6000 Series, are capable of processing edge AI models for real-time AI inferencing depending on the software for the application.

Specific EDGEBoost Nodes with NVMe and SATA Storage offer software or hardware RAID options for data redundancy and integrity; see datasheet for RAID level supported.

Depending on the deployment and specifications, an EDGEBoost Node would be necessary to streamline edge AI inferencing and/or require high-capacity NVMe storage. Contact us to speak with one of our experts for the best configuration to meet your edge AI computing needs.

No, each EDGEboost Node can not be purchased separately and requires a C&T RCO-6000 Series industrial computer in order to operate. Contact us to speak with one of our experts for the best configuration to meet your edge AI computing needs.

EDGEBoost Nodes offer a scalable, expandable, and flexible future-proof solution to industrial edge AI deployment operations. With capabilities for GPU and NVMe storage support, EDGEBoost Nodes offer a seamless performance upgrade with little maintenance required to effectively run edge AI models. Some other benefits include: Easy maintenance, Faster Time-to-Market, and a Portable Design.

EDGEBoost Nodes follow the same design principles as AI Edge Inference Computers for optimized edge computing performance: ruggedized design with certifications (CE, FCC, UL) to operate reliably in harsh industrial conditions/environments, NVMe and GPU acceleration for real-time data processing/AI inferencing, & data security/integrity with RAID support.

Industrial Automation, Security & Surveillance, Intelligent Transportation, and similar rugged edge AI applications requiring machine vision are key market verticals where EDGEBoost Node technology excels.
