Executive Summary
Businesses create incredible value using data they have on
their systems, including edge systems. Retail, financialtransactions, machine time series data, security, or
manufacturing video feeds bring valuable insight to thecorresponding business, enabling process improvements andthe creation of new products and services.
Supermicro offers a completeline of edge systems to collectdata at business edge
locations, such as storefronts.
Supermicro also offers a rangeof multi-node GrandTwin
systems to run Cloudera Data
Flow, the Data-in-Motionplatform. The Cloudera Data
Flowreliablycollects
structured and unstructured

data (i.e., transactions, timeseries data, images, videos)from data sources and edge systems. The data in motion is reliably collected and pipelined todownstream analytics and AI systems. These systems then identify issues or defects whilelearning real-time changes. The learning could turn into new opportunities for the business.

Cloudera Data Flow Management and Stream Processing•Cloudera Data Flow(CDF) is a scalable, real-time streaming data platform that makes it easy to collect, curate, and analyze
data to gain key insights for immediate actionable intelligence.

•CDF does this through Flow Management, where customers can build scalable data movement flows from the edge to thedata center using a low-code/no-code interface. The Flow Management is powered by open source Apache NiFi, MiniFi,and Edge Flow Manager.

•Stream Processing, which provides an enterprise-grade stream management and stateful processing capability to build
real time applications. The stream processing is powered by SQL Stream Builder, Apache Flink, and Apache Kafka.

•All of this is secured and governed through the Cloudera Shared Data Experience, called SDX.

Supermicro Data Center H13 GrandTwin Servers and Edge Systems•Supermicro H13 GrandTwin systems provide
a multi-node rackmount platform for clouddata centers. They come in 2U with four
nodes for optimal deployment. Thesesystems offer the latest AMD 4th Gen EPYC
processors that support DDR-5 4800
memory and PCI Express Gen 5 I/O.

•Supermicro Edge systems come in variousform factors to provide optimal deploymentin edge locations to collect business data.
