System Overview

Compact, rugged “Goliath-AI” servers are only 16-inches deep and are designed for harsh environment use where rack or free-standing space is at a premium. Ideal for airborne, ship-based, or battlefield-mobile installations, “Goliath-AI” brings both exceptional network-attached storage (NAS) with field-deployable AI processing (over 220 TFLOPS), plus rackmount processing and flexibility to defense applications in a very small footprint. Each server uses two of Intel’s second-generation Scalable Xeon^® processors, up to 24 cores each (embedded, Gold/Platinum SKUs) with up to 2.0 TB total system memory (ECC, 2933 DDR4). GMS recommends Nvidia V100 Tesla co-processors, but Nvidia TITAN V (Volta) accelerators are a lower cost option. 1/10/40 GbE is available (dual 1/10 GbE is standard), and there are up to 22 SSDs in “Goliath”. The SAS/SATA/NVMe drives are installed in five removable cartridges for easy, secure transport and system de-classify. Dual internal 2280 M.2 drives are used for OS boot or protected application software. Hardware RAID is standard for all SAS/SATA drives, and Intel VROC or RSTe software RAID is available for all 20 NVMe U.2 SSDs. The front panel drive bays can accommodate four-drive cartridges and one bay can also accept GMS “B Drive” modules for application-specific I/O such as CANbus, ARINIC-429, or HD-SDI video.

Unique features in the overall “Goliath” 1U/2U server family are the short rack depth of only 16-inches, dual GPGPU accelerators such as Nvidia V100 Tesla artificial intelligence / data mining cards (2U only), a DVD R+W or Blu-Ray unit, removable cartridges in lieu of individual SSDs, dual redundant power supplies in both 1U and 2U, and the GMS zero-charge NRE modification policy. For example, both “Goliath-X” (1U), “Goliath-NAS” (2U), and “Goliath-AI” (2U) can be lengthened to add MIL-STD-704 power hold-up (via supercaps), an auxiliary power unit battery, or an additional two (in 1U) or four (in 2U) extra add-in slots. Alternatively, MIL-circular 38999 connectors can be substituted for COTS-style connectors (depth will increase slightly).

Designed for value-conscious rugged applications and built with GMS RuggedDNA™ design methodology, all “Goliath” servers are air-cooled using GMS-proprietary “TwoCool™” fan control. The server uses our proven egg-crate ruggedization technique that stiffens the chassis to provide exceptional shock and vibration for a rackmount server. A 3-year warranty is standard, along with GMS’s made-in-America end-of-life component monitoring and long-lifecycle sustainment policy. Custom versions can be developed with full programmatics and certifications.
