VPX standards establish a new direction for the next revolution in embedded computing. The standards break out from the traditional connector scheme of VMEbus to merge the latest in connector and packaging technology with the latest in bus and serial switch fabric technology. VPX combines best-in-class technologies to assure a very long technology cycle similar to that of the original VMEbus solutions.


The OpenVPX architecture framework delineates clear interoperability points necessary for integrating module to module, module to backplane, and chassis. OpenVPX is evolving and incorporating new fabric, connector, and system technologies as new standards are defined.
