on

The compact, high-powered NVIDIA MGX modular design server powered by NVIDIA GPUs and Intel Xeon processors is set to transform and advance enterprise edge AI performance. 

TAIPEI, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aetina, a subsidiary of the Innodisk Group and an expert in edge AI solutions, is thrilled to announce its innovative SuperEdge NVIDIA MGX short-depth server, model AEX-2UA1, at Computex 2024. The AEX-2UA1 is one of the first x86-CPU short-depth NVIDIA MGX servers to be showcased to the market, marking a significant expansion of Aetina’s product portfolio from specialized edge devices to comprehensive AI server solutions.  

The SuperEdge NVIDIA MGX server also represents a milestone in the progression of Innodisk Group’s AI roadmap, extending from frontline sensors and storage devices to AI software tools, computing platforms, and now AI edge servers. The SuperEdge server delivers maximum performance within a compact form factor for edge computing and empowers enterprises to effectively handle sensitive data with private LLM (large language model) and other enterprise AI applications. It is particularly valuable in sectors such as finance and healthcare, where data privacy is paramount, and 5G telco, offering a compact, powerful and space-optimized system ideal for mission-critical applications and deployments.

NVIDIA MGX Server Accelerates On-premises Enterprise AI Deployment 

Enterprises are embracing the rapid transformations accelerated by generative AI. However, for industries that handle sensitive data, such as finance, biotech and medical research, cloud-based LLM services can pose potential operational and compliance risks. As a result, these enterprises urgently need a solution that allows LLMs to operate in a secure manner while balancing cost and performance according to their specific cases. 

In response to the increasing demand, Aetina unveils the AEX-2UA1, the enterprise-level edge server, to enable enterprises to deploy their private LLM AI training and inferencing on premises. This allows models to be trained using sensitive data and utilized securely to ensure compliance with strict regulations. 

Powered by technologies from NVIDIA and Intel, the AEX-2UA1 supports two double-deck GPUs with NVIDIA NVLink bridges and a single Intel® Xeon 6 processor, enhancing LLM training and inferencing performance with direct GPU-to-GPU interconnect to unleash powerful edge computing performance. Furthermore, the AEX-2UA1 supports advanced network solutions, including NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs and SuperNICs, and NVIDIA ConnectX–7 NICs. This allows efficient server-to-server and server-to-storage communication for parallel processing in enterprises edge AI systems. 

Moreover, to address the space constraints of edge environments, the AEX-2UA1 features an x86 short-depth design. With front access and the compact form factor, it optimizes space utilization, making it suitable for deployments in both rack and non-rack locations. This versatility enables the deployment of diverse AI-driven applications wherever needed at the edge. 

Additionally, the AEX-2UA1 complies with the NVIDIA MGX architecture, offering a modular server architecture for maximum flexibility and forward compatibility, including support for NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, delivering greater scalability for enterprises in the future.

James Su, Director of Software R&D at Aetina, states, “AEX-2UA1 not only marks Aetina’s advancements in product portfolio extension but also serves as an ideal entry system for enterprises in need of LLM deployment, offering low barriers to entry compared to standard GPU servers in the market. We streamline the development and deployment of AI applications through this NVIDIA MGX server, paired with our extensive expertise, which saves valuable resources while accelerating time to value and empowering organizations to swiftly harness the potential of AI and gain a competitive edge.” 

The launch of the new NVIDIA MGX server reaffirms Aetina’s position as the driving force in AI innovation within the Innodisk Group, showcasing its strength and momentum in pushing technological boundaries.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
