Innodisk, a global AI solution provider, has announced the launch of its APEX series edge AI systems, designed to deliver scalable, high-performance AI for industrial and enterprise environments. By combining hardware, software and system design, the platform simplifies integration, helping customers deploy faster and focus on business outcomes, rather than infrastructure complexity.
Building on more than 20 years of data expertise, Innodisk is expanding its commitment to AI by delivering end-to-end edge computing solutions that address the growing complexity of data-intensive workloads. The APEX series enables organisations to process, analyse and act on data at the edge, reducing latency, improving security and optimising performance. With its modular design and broad component ecosystem, including cameras, sensors, storage and I/O, Innodisk provides a customisable foundation for building AI systems across industries such as manufacturing, smart cities, transportation and healthcare.
As enterprises increasingly shift from cloud-based AI to edge-based architectures, they face challenges including latency, bandwidth limitations, data privacy concerns and limited system control. The APEX series addresses these barriers by enabling localised AI processing, minimising reliance on cloud infrastructure, and providing greater flexibility in system design.
“Innodisk is uniquely positioned at the intersection of data, storage and AI,” says Victor Le, president of Innodisk USA Corporation. “With the APEX series, we are helping customers move beyond experimentation to real-world deployment of AI at the edge to deliver the performance, reliability and scalability required for industrial environments.”
A key highlight of the series is the APEX-A100, an advanced edge AI system designed for demanding industrial use cases:
• Powered by Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ9 Series industrial processor: Built on an industrial-grade processor designed to deliver high compute and power-efficient AI performance for demanding applications, the A100 enables high-performance AI processing and advanced vision-language model capabilities for real-time scene understanding.
• High performance with power efficiency: The Dragonwing IQ9-powered A100 delivers exceptional compute performance, up to 100 dense TOPS while maintaining energy efficiency, making it suited to edge environments with power and space constraints.
• Extended industrial lifecycle: Designed for long-term deployment, the A100 offers guaranteed availability and support through 2038, reducing the need for costly hardware redesigns.
“Through our collaboration with Innodisk, we are enabling a new generation of edge AI solutions that bring powerful AI capabilities closer to where data is generated,” says Anand Venkatesan, senior director, product management, Qualcomm Technologies. “Together, we are helping customers unlock faster insights, improved efficiency and greater operational control.”
The APEX series stands out for its flexibility and ecosystem approach. As one of the few companies building across the full spectrum of edge AI computing platforms, Innodisk enables customers to select the optimal architecture for their AI workloads and scale across deployments.
By moving intelligence closer to the data source, the APEX series enables secure, real-time processing while reducing bandwidth costs and improving system responsiveness; requirements for modern industrial AI deployments.
