TSecond Delivers Bryck AI for AI Inferencing at the Edge
The co-founders from TSecond, Sahil Chawla CEO, and Manavalan Krishnan, CTO, were on hand at Edge Field Day 3 to showcase Bryck and Bryck AI, black box edge devices chock full of storage, and in the case of the AI flavor, AI accelerators.
These solutions are created due to large stores of data being generated across the edge, and in rising cases, driving AI inference at the edge eliminating the need to move large data stores to the cloud.
We have covered rugged storage platforms for the edge on TechArena, and some of the vertical targets sounded very familiar – media, content delivery, defense to name a few. However, what made my ears perk up was a strong focus on aerospace and deep investment from Boeing in this growing organization.
Let’s go under the covers. Manavalan took us on a detailed tour of the hardware, describing that the standard Bryck is a storage platform with up to one PB of storage running 40GB/sec throughput with 256 parallel PCIe Gen 4 data lanes and integrated security capabilities.
A Bryck requires 240-800W to run, bringing it in as energy efficient vs. storage alternatives. The platform promises to be faster and lighter than competitive offerings as well, while promising rugged resiliency for edge environments, hot pluggability, fault tolerance, and - due to low weight - cost effective to ship to edge locations. TSecond claims less than $100 to ship anywhere in the US – which matters when you consider the scale of edge device delivery in this growing market and you consider that competitive solutions weigh in at up to 500 lbs vs. 20 lbs for Bryck. Bryck can also scale with a multi-Bryck configuration as well as Bryck Mini with various capacities.
Bryck integrates the expected storage software including support for AWS, GCP and Azure for easy integration. They also offer Data Dart, a collaboration with Equinix to accelerate data transport to the cloud utilizing physical Bryck upload with movement of data from Equinix to the cloud provider of choice.
