Enabling Large Data Capture, Data Transport and AI Inferencing with Tsecond’s Edge Infrastructure​​

Edge environments often face challenges related to power, space, and connectivity, which can hinder the ability to collect, transport, and analyze large amounts of data. In this presentation, Sahil Chawla, co-founder and CEO of Tsecond, introduces the company’s innovations in edge infrastructure, focusing on secure data storage, seamless data movement, and rapid AI inferencing. Tsecond was founded in 2020 after identifying the need for modern solutions to handle the increasing data generated at the edge, particularly in industries like manufacturing, oil and gas, and autonomous vehicles. The company’s flagship product, the BRIC platform, is designed to address these challenges by offering a compact, high-capacity storage solution that can capture and store up to one petabyte of data in a small form factor, with deduplication capabilities that can increase storage efficiency by up to 8x.

Tsecond’s BRIC platform is built to be lightweight, power-efficient, and scalable, making it ideal for edge environments where space and power are limited. The system is capable of high throughput, with theoretical speeds of up to 256 GB per second, and is designed to be sustainable, consuming less power than a typical hair dryer. The BRIC platform can be customized with AI accelerator chips, allowing for on-site AI inferencing alongside data storage. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of industries, from aerospace and aviation to media and entertainment, where large amounts of data need to be processed and analyzed quickly. Tsecond also offers a service called Data Dart, which facilitates the secure movement of data between edge locations and centralized data centers or the cloud.

The company’s innovations are inspired by existing solutions like Amazon Snowball and Seagate Live, but Tsecond aims to provide a more compact, efficient, and versatile alternative. Their products are designed to meet the specific needs of industries that require rugged, high-performance systems capable of handling large data volumes in remote or challenging environments. Tsecond’s focus on sustainability and security also positions them to address future demands for energy-efficient data centers and secure data transfer solutions. With a growing portfolio of products and a strong focus on edge AI and storage infrastructure, Tsecond is poised to play a significant role in the evolving landscape of edge computing.
