San Jose AI server and edge computing leader; NVIDIA-Certified Systems from data center to industrial edge enabling robotics inference and automation AI.
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Supermicro, NASDAQ: SMCI) is a San Jose, California-based enterprise IT infrastructure company founded in 1993. With annual revenue exceeding $33 billion and approximately 6,200 employees, Supermicro is a leading provider of complete IT solutions including servers, storage, networking, and software, with a strong and growing focus on AI infrastructure and edge computing platforms relevant to robotics and industrial automation.
Supermicro's edge AI product line has expanded substantially through 2025–2026. The SYS-E103-14P-H is a fanless, DIN-rail mountable edge system built on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, delivering up to 180 combined platform TOPS from integrated CPU, GPU (up to 12-Xe cores), and NPU5, specifically targeting robotics, computer vision, and industrial automation applications. The SYS-E300-14AR is a low-profile mini-1U system with Intel Core Ultra 15th Gen processor, 24 cores, 65W TDP, and onboard NPU. GPU options across the edge lineup include the Intel Arc Pro B70 (up to 367 TOPS, 32GB VRAM), Arc Pro B60 (197 TOPS), and NVIDIA RTX Pro Blackwell 2000, enabling workload-specific optimization.
Supermicro explicitly targets five primary verticals with its edge AI platforms: robotics, industrial automation, retail analytics, healthcare, and transportation. The rationale is that AI inference must happen locally for time-critical applications — a robotic arm on an assembly line cannot tolerate cloud-round-trip latency, and Supermicro's edge systems provide the compute density, thermal resilience, and I/O connectivity for in-the-field deployments. The systems support operating temperatures suitable for industrial environments and are available in fanless, short-depth 1U rack, and mini-tower form factors.
At the data center level, Supermicro provides GPU-accelerated servers using NVIDIA H100, H200, and next-generation Vera Rubin NVL144 and Rubin CPX platforms for AI training and large-scale inference that feeds robotics fleet management and cloud-based autonomy stacks. Supermicro has NVIDIA-Certified Systems designation across its Datacenter, Workstation, and Edge portfolios, and supports NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Omniverse platforms.
The company manufactures systems in the United States and collaborates with Intel and NVIDIA as a strategic hardware partner. Its global presence includes offices across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Supermicro was publicly listed on NASDAQ in 2007 (ticker: SMCI) and remains one of the fastest-growing hardware vendors in the AI infrastructure space.
