The BRYCK AI Mini from Tsecond is designed to transport large amounts of data.

Related To:

TSecond's BRYCK AI Mini is an air-gapped, portable, network attached storage (NAS) device featuring AI acceleration. It comes with high-capacity solid-state disks (SSDs) that have a network server capable of 416 to 832 TOPS of performance for AI processing of data. The system can be configured with SSD storage up to 128 TB.

The SFP28/QSFP28 connections support two 100G Ethernet or eight 25G Ethernet connections. A 1G Ethernet port offers IPMI management support. And a Micro USB connection provides an out-of-band management console.

The NAS compute engine comprises 16 Arm Cortex-A78 cores. The neural processing unit (NPU) supports TensorFlow, TensorFlow Lite, Keras, and PyTorch. It supports the ONNX ML format as well. AI processing runs at speeds up to 20 GB/s.

Supported NAS protocols include NFS, SMB, S3, BryckCP, Ext4, FAT, NTFS, UFS, FTP, HTTP, and RSYNC. The system, which also supports SMART, SNMP, and Syslog, can be configured to handle RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6. Hardware data encryption uses AES 256.

The 10-lb. BRYCK AI Mini requires 260 W of power.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
