GigaIO Gryf enters Japan through ELSA, packs H100 NVL into carry-on form factor
Most likely too large for carry-on luggage.
ELSA Japan has announced domestic availability for GigaIO Gryf, a portable edge AI system built in a carry-on suitcase form factor. The system was developed by GigaIO with SourceCode, and ELSA describes it as a configurable AI platform designed for on-site deployment rather than rack-based installation. ELSA also says the chassis remains under 25 kg, depending on configuration.
Gryf uses GigaIO’s FabreX PCIe/CXL fabric, which allows CPU, GPU, and storage resources to be reassigned in software without changing physical cabling. The chassis has six internal sled slots , and ELSA says customers can mix compute, accelerator, storage, and network modules depending on workload.

ELSA lists AMD EPYC 7713P and EPYC 7313P a s compute options. GPU configurations include NVIDIA L40S 48GB or H100 NVL 94GB, while storage capacity reaches up to 246TB of NVMe E1.L. The company also lists 100GbE and FabreX connectivity for the platform. GigaIO’s current datasheet adds that the L40S and H100 NVL options target different throughput profiles, with the H100 NVL configuration listed at up to 3,341 TFLOPS FP8 and 30 TFLOPS FP64.
ELSA says up to five Gryf systems can be linked in a SWARM configuration over FabreX. In that setup, the company claims more than 3,600 TFLOPS of FP16 performance and petabyte-class NVMe storage. That puts the system closer to a mobile edge cluster than a single portable workstation, even though the base unit is sold as a standalone platform.

Pricing has not been disclosed. ELSA says pricing depends on configuration and asks customers to contact the company directly.
