Insights
The partnership between One Stop Systems, Inc. (OSS) and Andretti Global represents a strategic venture into the motorsport industry, valued at $5.1 billion. This collaboration is noteworthy as it merges high-performance computing with sports analytics, a niche but rapidly growing sector. The use of OSS's AI Transportable compute system by a high-profile motorsport team could signal a broader trend where data analytics becomes increasingly vital for competitive sports, potentially opening up a new market segment for OSS and similar technology providers.
From a market perspective, the announcement could positively influence investor sentiment towards OSS, as it showcases the company's ability to diversify its applications and penetrate new industries. The move could also be seen as a proactive approach to leveraging the growing demand for edge computing and AI technologies in various sectors, beyond traditional data centers. As OSS expands its reach, it could attract attention from other industries seeking similar ruggedized, transportable AI solutions, potentially leading to a diversified customer base and revenue streams.
This development could have tangible financial implications for OSS. The adoption of OSS's technology by Andretti Global may serve as a proof of concept to other potential clients in the motorsport industry and beyond. If OSS can successfully deliver on the performance and reliability promises, it might see an increase in orders for its SDS-3U GPU-accelerated servers, which could positively impact the company's revenue and earnings. Investors should monitor OSS's performance in subsequent quarters to assess the financial impact of this venture.
It's also important to consider the cost implications of entering a new market. OSS will likely incur initial expenses related to research and development, marketing and potential customization of its products to meet the specific needs of the motorsport industry. These investments might affect short-term profitability but could be justified if the move secures OSS a foothold in this lucrative market.
The technical details of the OSS 3U SDS, featuring the latest GPUs and Intel® Xeon® Silver 4314 series processors, indicate a high-performance system capable of handling the intense data processing required for real-time race analytics. The use of PCIe Gen 4 switched interconnects for rapid data transport is particularly relevant in a setting where latency can significantly impact race decisions and outcomes. This detail underscores OSS's commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology for demanding environments.
Furthermore, the application of generative AI, as facilitated by Zapata AI's Orquestra platform, is an innovative approach in the context of motorsports. Generative AI could potentially revolutionize how race data is analyzed and utilized, providing Andretti with nuanced insights and predictive analytics to inform strategic decisions during races. As this technology matures, it could become a standard in the industry, with OSS at the forefront of this transformation.
New Application of OSS High Performance Computing Technology to Power Race Analytics for Andretti Using Orquestra®, Zapata AI’s Industrial Generative AI Platform for the Cloud and Edge
ESCONDIDO, Calif., and INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One Stop Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSS) has shipped to legendary motorsport champion, Andretti Global, its first AI Transportable compute system for the motorsport industry.
An OSS SDS-3U GPU-accelerated server will power advanced AI race analytics for Andretti using Zapata AI’s Industrial Generative AI platform for the cloud and edge, Orquestra. The solution represents a new application of OSS technology and the company’s first foray into the
Today’s high-performance race cars generate a tremendous amount of data—more than 1,000 gigabytes with every race. Andretti has been seeking ways to rapidly and intelligently analyze this data at trackside in order to gain a competitive edge at all of their racing events next year.
“We chose OSS technology for its capability of processing high volumes of data with datacenter-class compute power in a transportable system that is ruggedized to withstand the harshest racetrack and transportation environments,” stated Greg Mosely, VP of strategic partnerships at Andretti Global.
“Being at the forefront of high performance, ruggedized computing systems on the edge has made OSS the clear winner for delivering our specialized AI race analytics at the highest levels of performance and reliability.”
Andretti car sensors collect data that is transmitted from the car to the mobile Zapata AI/Andretti Race Analytics Command Center (RACC) located trackside. The RACC provides a transportable environment where OSS servers can process the collected data and Zapata AI technicians and Andretti engineers can collaborate to create real-time advantages on race day.
“This milestone win demonstrates our unique capabilities for powering generative AI technology at the edge,” noted OSS CEO, Mike Knowles. “We see this new application of our technology leading to other significant opportunities within the fast-growing motorsport space, as well as other domain-specific industrial-scale applications.”
“The win also reflects the many synergies between Zapata AI and OSS,” added Knowles, “and creates further opportunities to develop customized mobile AI Edge solutions for their growing ecosystem of partners and enterprise customers.”
The OSS 3U SDS is powered by two of the latest GPUs and Intel® Xeon® Silver 4314 series processors. OSS high-speed PCIe Gen 4 switched interconnects will transport the sensor data to compute processors for real-time data analysis by the Zapata AI generative AI software.
