Boston + Antillion: Extending High-Performance Compute to the Edge

A Bridge Between Your Data Centre and the Far Edge

In today’s world, data no longer lives in one place — and performance shouldn’t either.

That’s why Boston Limited and Antillion have partnered to bring true high-performance computing (HPC) capability to the edge, combining Boston’s long-standing expertise in HPC and integration with Antillion’s rugged edge platforms.

Together, we’re bridging the gap between data centre power and field-ready reliability — enabling high-intensity compute, AI, and analytics to run anywhere.

A Partnership Built on Shared Ambition

Boston and Antillion share a belief that technology should perform wherever it’s needed most — not just inside the data centre.

For over 30 years, Boston Limited has been helping customers design and deploy high-performance, energy-efficient solutions for complex computing challenges. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in the UK, Boston is now a global name in HPC, AI infrastructure, data-centric systems, and cloud integration, with offices in Germany, India, and the United States.

Antillion, on the other hand, focuses on the other side of the spectrum—delivering rugged, portable, and powerful edge range through its PACE Platforms, designed for use in demanding environments where conventional IT simply can’t operate.

It’s a partnership that makes perfect sense: Boston’s HPC integration expertise paired with Antillion’s ability to take that performance to the very edge.

Why It Matters

For organisations operating in disconnected, remote, or harsh environments, bringing high-performance compute closer to where data is generated can be transformational.

As Dan Johns - Director of Technical Services at Boston Limited put it:

“Antillion’s Edge Platforms significantly expand our portfolio, enabling us to extend high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities to the edge. These platforms are purpose-built for this environment, providing powerful and tailored solutions to meet exact requirements. This partnership allows us to deliver solutions that directly address a rapidly growing market need for AI at the real edge.”

This collaboration is about more than simply combining products—it’s about enabling capability.

It allows customers to deploy the same kind of performance they expect in a data centre but closer to where insights and decisions happen.

What Customers Can Expect

The Antillion–Boston partnership will focus on integrated solutions that simplify and accelerate deployment of compute-intensive workloads outside the traditional data centre.

Some of the key areas we’ll be working on include:

  • GPU acceleration for advanced analytics and AI at the edge.
  • High-speed local storage for data-heavy workloads.
  • Flexible HCI and orchestration to support scalable hybrid deployments.

These solutions are designed for real-world applications — from industrial and research environments to remote and commercial settings.

The result is a platform that combines Boston’s performance heritage with Antillion’s rugged engineering to create something powerful, compact, and ready for anything.

Looking Ahead

This partnership marks the beginning of a broader journey. Over the coming months, Boston and Antillion will:

  • Deliver proof-of-concept edge deployments.
  • Showcase joint compute-and-storage solutions.
  • Develop new products optimised for emerging workloads and real-world use cases.

We’ll also be appearing together at upcoming industry events, where you can see our technology in action and meet the teams driving this collaboration forward.

At its core, this partnership is about rethinking what’s possible — extending high-performance computing capability to wherever your work takes you, without compromise.
