Gryf: The First-ever Carry On Suitcase-sized AI Supercomputer
Gryf™ brings uncompromised AI inference power anywhere you can wheel it — fully independent, field-serviceable, and built for where cloud dependency is not an option.
AMD EPYCâ„¢ Processors 16 or 64 cores per slot
2,500W Dual hot-swap power supplies
Up to 5PB storage Up to 1PB per sled, five sleds
Gryf is the only portable edge AI platform capable of the full range of data processing needs, from on-device AI inferencing to machine learning and ISR analytics, all in a ruggedized form factor that travels anywhere you can wheel it.
Gryf was co-designed by GigaIO and SourceCode, marrying GigaIO’s deep expertise in interconnects and composable infrastructure solutions with SourceCode’s ruggedized system design and co-design manufacturing.
Gryf provides true datacenter-class computing at the far edge, delivering meaningful AI inferencing wherever data is created and where answers are actually needed. GPU / Accelerator, Compute, Storage, and Network sleds provide the ability to customize resources for each workload by simply swapping sleds.
Why Does Field Intelligence Still Wait on a Datacenter?
Prior to Gryf, there were two options for generating on-site results at the far edge. Data was sent to a datacenter for processing and analysis, requiring connectivity you might not have and time you couldn’t spare. Or data was limited to workstation-grade compute, generating field answers that were worse than the ones waiting back at base.
Now, Gryf provides server-class GPUs, petabyte-scale storage, and full AI inference, all running in a case you can wheel in yourself. Gryf puts meaningful AI inference power directly at the source of the data, allowing you to quickly transform the vast amounts of sensor data collected at the edge into immediately actionable solutions.
AI Inferencing Wherever You Need It
Portability & Mobility
The compute can move wherever the mission requires.
- Take your data and processing with you wherever you go
- Bring datacenter-class compute to places with poor or expensive connectivity
- Travel in challenging environments with a ruggedized case
Field Configurability
No new hardware purchases, no re-engineering, just rearrange sleds.
- Six different sleds for GPU, compute, storage, and networking
- Share storage or GPUs across multiple server sleds or VMs
- Reconfigure resource allocation in real time, without going offline
Field Serviceability
Dramatically improve operational availability without on-site support.
- If something fails, simply swap sleds in minutes
- Completely self-service, no technical expertise necessary
- No downtime, even if technicians are days or weeks away
No Vendor Lock-in
Never be locked into a single vendor’s roadmap, pricing, or stack.
- Open platform built for any accelerator (GPUs, ASICs, inference cards)
- Runs Linux, Windows, KVM, and VMware out of the box
- Upgrade individual sleds without replacing the entire system
No Data Value Decay
Act on data the moment it’s captured, before the insight loses value.
- Get real-time insights, not perishable insights
- Process ISR, simulation, or inference workloads on-site
- No round trip to a datacenter before your data is relevant
Scalability
One Gryf not enough? Stack your Gryfs into a larger single system.
- Stack up to five Gryf units for a total of 30 total sleds
- Any server can access any resource across the fabric shared by all five Gryfs
- Runs on GigaIO’s patented PCIe-based open fabric technology

Stack Your Gryfs
This diagram shows five interconnected Gryfs connected by FabreX, GigaIO’s patented PCIe-based open fabric technology that allows any server to access any other server or resource device within the fabric. Up to five Gryfs can be stacked, and each can be reconfigured in real time to meet mission requirements.
Modular Edge Platforms for All Settings
GigaIO offers Edge solutions in two form factors: Manticore for stationary compute at the near edge, and Gryf for portable, field-ready operation and far-edge locations. Both share the same architecture and are powered by FabreX, GigaIO’s patented PCIe-based open fabric technology.
Put Manticore in your factory’s server closet. Bring Gryf along with you to your oil rig. Both run the same demanding AI workloads at full performance — datacenter-class performance without needing datacenter infrastructure.
