HONG KONG, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Powered by the Intel Panther Lake platform with up to Intel Core™ Ultra X9 388H, the upcoming M2 Pro is set to be MINISFORUM's most powerful AI Mini PC. With memory speeds of up to 9600MHz and computing power of up to 180 Tops, it delivers exceptional bandwidth and strong local AI computing performance. Combined with cloud AI, we recommend running OpenClaw in hybrid mode on the M2 Pro to deliver an AI experience that is more secure and cost-efficient.
Applicable Scenario
- 24/7 AI work assistant for automated information and content workflows.
Hybrid Execution: Privacy-First AI with Practical Usability
- Maximized privacy protection – Sensitive data is processed locally instead of being sent to the cloud.
- Cloud only when necessary – Cloud AI is used only for necessary tasks with user approval.
- Full agent functionality preserved – OpenClaw interacts with external systems while keeping sensitive data local.
- Balanced real-world usability – Combines local privacy with cloud scalability
Local-First Processing: Lower Token Costs
- Reduced cloud token usage – Large portions of reasoning and context processing run locally.
- On-device task handling – Document understanding, summarization, and retrieval are processed locally.
- Lower and more predictable costs – Enables scalable OpenClaw deployment with controlled token expenses.

Want Privacy and Cost-Efficiency at the Same Time on OpenClaw? Intel Panther Lake M2 Pro Has Both
SAN JOSE, Calif., July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), an AI, Enterprise, Storage, and 5G/Edge Total IT Solution Provider featuring Data Center Building Block Solutions® (DCBBS), today announced the launch of Kubernetes Edge AI appliances in collaboration with Red Hat and Everpure. Supermicro has validated a full-stack edge Kubernetes solution, powered by the industry's leading Kubernetes-driven hybrid cloud application platform, Red Hat OpenShift, and the first Kubernetes data management platform tailored for AI workloads from Portworx by Everpure. This turnkey appliance, complete with preloaded software and hardware, is made available to customers through Supermicro.
"AI inferencing at the edge requires more than just hardware—it demands a validated, scalable platform that customers can deploy with confidence," said Vik Malyala, chief business officer, Supermicro. "Together with Red Hat and Everpure, we are delivering a turnkey Kubernetes Edge AI Appliance that simplifies deployment, accelerates time-to-revenue, and enables customers to efficiently scale AI workloads across distributed edge environments."

By combining Red Hat OpenShift with Supermicro's edge computing infrastructure and the Portworx by Everpure data management platform for AI workloads, organizations can more easily deploy, manage, scale, and secure AI applications across distributed edge environments.
"As AI-driven applications continue to reshape how businesses operate at the edge, the need for a robust, consistent, and scalable platform is paramount. Red Hat OpenShift delivers that foundation, providing the common hybrid cloud application environment that simplifies the complexity of deploying, orchestrating, and managing AI workloads. In collaboration with Supermicro and Everpure, we are committed to empowering customers with a supported, integrated, and high-performance solution that accelerates their time-to-value for AI inferencing at the edge," said Kelly Switt, senior director, Intelligent Edge and Industrial Business Lead, Red Hat.
Portworx by Everpure provides the Kubernetes-native storage and data management layer for Supermicro's Edge AI Appliances. This enables enterprises to run AI inference, containers, and virtual machines at edge locations with the same enterprise-grade data services available in their core data centers. Unlike array-based storage solutions that require dedicated hardware at each site, Portworx offers software-defined, aggregated local storage on Supermicro's compact edge servers into a resilient, self-healing data platform that operates autonomously, even during network outages. The result is enterprise-grade high availability and data protection at every edge location, with consistent storage policies and a unified operational experience that extends seamlessly from edge to core to cloud.
"Enterprises deploying AI at the edge face a critical infrastructure gap, they need enterprise-grade storage and data protection, but they can't run traditional arrays in environments like retail stores or factory floors," said Greg Muscarella, general manager, Portworx by Everpure. "Together with Supermicro and Red Hat, we're delivering a validated, turnkey solution that combines Portworx services customers rely on like consistent management, built-in resilience, and the operational simplicity to scale to thousands of sites without the need for on-site IT expertise."
Supermicro is a leader in computing edge infrastructure, with one of the largest, most energy efficient, and most diverse portfolios of edge servers and devices, in a full range of form factors. This enables Supermicro to develop tailored solutions for each customer use case, with optimized initial acquisition cost, and total-cost-of-ownership (TCO).
Supermicro DCBBS delivers complete, modular AI infrastructure built from validated components and subsystems, enabling flexible deployment from individual servers and networking to full rack-scale and data center-level solutions, including software and services. Supermicro continues to lead the industry with its comprehensive portfolio of AI infrastructure solutions, enabling organizations worldwide to deploy scalable, efficient, and environmentally responsible AI data centers.
