Early this year, DeepSeek has captured global attention. As a leading open-source large model, it empowers technologies like digital twins and edge computing, providing revolutionary power for industrial intelligence and transformation. It reshapes the industrial competition pattern in the era of Industry 4.0 and accelerates the intelligent upgrade of production models. Its open-source and low-cost nature allows small and medium-sized enterprises to access AI capabilities more easily, promoting the industry’s transition from “experience-driven” to “data-intelligence-driven.”
Private deployment of DeepSeek is strategically necessary for enterprises:
First, private deployment ensures zero data leakage. Sensitive data remains within the intranet, avoiding the risk of API call and external network transmission leaks.
Second, private deployment allows enterprises to have full control. They can customize and train their models and flexibly connect and adapt to internal OA/ERP systems.
Third, private deployment ensures cost controllability. One-time deployment can be used long-term, avoiding the long-tail costs of API applications.
The APQ traditional 4U industrial computer IPC400-Q670 has significant advantages in the private deployment of DeepSeek.
IPC400-Q670 product features:
-
With the Intel Q670 chipset, it has 2 PCLe x16 slots.
-
It can be equipped with dual RTX 4090/4090D to handle DeepSeek of up to 70b scale.
-
It supports Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Core/Pentium/Celeron processors, from i5 to i9, balancing application and cost.
-
It has four Non-ECC DDR4-3200MHz memory slots, up to 128GB, ensuring smooth operation of 70b models.
-
With 4 NVMe 4.0 high-speed hard disk interfaces, read and write speeds can reach 7000MB/s for fast model data loading.
-
It has 1 Intel GbE and 1 Intel 2.5GbE Ethernet ports on the board.
-
It has 9 USB 3.2 and 3 USB 2.0 on ports the board.
-
It has HDMI and DP display interfaces, supporting up to 4K@60Hz resolution.
APQ’s traditional 4U industrial computer IPC400-Q670 can be configured according to different enterprise needs. So, how should industrial enterprises choose the hardware scheme for private DeepSeek deployment?
First, understand how hardware configurations affect DeepSeek’s application experience. If DeepSeek is like human thinking ability, then the hardware is like the human body.
1. Core configuration – GPU
VRAM is like DeepSeek’s brain capacity. The larger the VRAM, the bigger the model it can run. In simple terms, the GPU size determines the “intelligence level” of the deployed DeepSeek.
The GPU is like the cerebral cortex of DeepSeek, the material basis of its thinking activities. The stronger the GPU, the faster the thinking speed, that is, the GPU performance determines the “inference ability” of the deployed DeepSeek.
2. Other main configurations – CPU, memory, and hard disk
①CPU (heart): It schedules data, pumping “blood” to the brain.
②Memory (blood vessels): It transmits data, preventing “blood flow blockages.”
③Hard disk (blood-storing organ): It stores data and quickly releases “blood” into the blood vessels.
APQ, with years of experience serving industrial clients, has matched several optimal hardware schemes considering cost, performance, and application for enterprises’ general needs:
