The combination of Supermicro's pioneering edge computing
solutions with Neutroon's robust Private 5G/LTE network cloud
platform enables enterprises to excel in the age of data-driven
connectivity. While Supermicro’s edge servers are tailored to
optimize energy consumption and enhance scalability,
resilience, and efficiency, Neutroon’s Cloud Platform, an openAPI, multi-site, multi-tenant, multi-vendor orchestration
solution, unifies advanced connectivity (Private 5G, Wi-Fi 6) andedge computing for enterprise IT customers that simplifies theconnectivity of IoT devices to business-critical apps.

Neutroon’s Private Network Solution
Neutroon aims to enable businesses to understand and embrace the power of private networks and edge computing by
providing innovative connectivity between IoT devices and apps in the most efficient, reliable, and affordable way.
The platform provides a single, easy-to-use, and cost-effective management solution for all your private networks
independently from the location, the extension, the heterogeneity of technologies and vendors, or the complexity of thedeployment. We can boost productivity and lower TCOs by reducing CapEx thanks to the disaggregated nature of the solutionthat enables the optimization of HW/SW vendor/technology and reduces OpEx due to the simplification of the O&M of thenetwork.

The solution transforms pure connectivity into smart connectivity through the Neutroon Hyperslicing™ and an integrated
marketplace of edge apps that can be easily deployed on systems like the Supermicro SYS-211SE-31A 2U 3Node short depthserver. This system was chosen due to its flexibility. It can be used in the core, edge, or RAN. A customer could start with a single
node populated for Private 5G, then add edge workloads on additional sled-based nodes. Rack space at the edge is optimized
with three nodes in 2U. The SYS-211SE is a short depth chassis for edge located cabinets with all front access I/O and extended
operating temperature range, often required at the edge.

Neutroon Architecture

How is edge computing related to private networks?
Increased resilience
The private network becomes more robust to disruptions by distributing computing power and tasks among multiple edge
devices. In case of a problem when an edge device is facing an error, the workload may be smoothly transferred to another edge
device, maintaining continued operations and minimizing network downtime. Edge computing's redundancy gives an extra
layer of stability to Private 5G/LTE networks, increasing system availability.
Enhanced scalability and flexibility
Supermicro’s advanced edge computing capabilities enable effective scalability of the private network managed through theNeutroon Cloud Platform when the number of connected RAN devices increases. Enterprises may quickly deploy more edge
devices to manage the increasing computing load, assuring maximum performance and responsiveness. Additionally,
Supermicro allows for greater flexibility in deploying new edge applications to serve multiple use cases of the clients, as edge
devices may process data locally without requiring significant modifications to the cloud-based architecture. These new use
cases can be tested thanks to the unification of edge computing and private 5G/LTE since unparalleled flexibility is achieved byminimizing connectivity firewalls and bottlenecks.
Improved data privacy and security
In the case of Private 5G/LTE networks, Supermicro’s edge computing solutions optimize data privacy and security. By
maintaining data processing and storage at the network edge, sensitive information is positioned inside a localized enterpriseenvironment, diminishing the risk of data breaches during its transmission to the cloud and allowing businesses to gain more
control over their data while maintaining compliance with privacy requirements. Edge computing enables Mobile Private© 2023 Copyright Super Micro Computer, Inc. All rights reserved

Network Operators (MPNOs) to adopt more complex security measures tailored to their needs, improving data protection andnetwork integrity.
Bandwidth optimization
Edge computing boosts bandwidth usage in Private 5G/LTE networks as the data is processed locally at the network edge. Only
necessary and compressed data is sent to the cloud, minimizing the amount of data that travels through the network. This turnkey advantage reduces network congestion and increases overall network performance.

Conclusion/Summary
Supermicro and Neutroon together are creating an easy-to-use solution to combine Private 5G and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity with anedge computing platform. The winning combination of the Neutroon NaaS Cloud Platform running on Supermicros' highly
flexible range of telecoms edge systems allows customers to scale their network deployment while efficiently optimizing CapExand OpEx.
