Common Module System X08 Blade Servers

Sept. 29, 2023
The rugged CMS X08 delivers a plug-n-play infrastructure model for tactical platforms operating at sea, on land, or in the air. It eliminates vendor lock-in, simplifies tech refreshes, reduces costs, and accelerates workloads. OCP openEDGE compatible.

Bringing open hardware to the edge

Accelerate deployments with the interoperable, open standards-based CMS X08

Modern applications demand bleeding-edge silicon; users demand more processing, more bandwidth, and more capabilities. The Common Module System (CMS) X08 answers these demands through a modular, extensible, and open standards-based platform along with a standard board-to-module, module-to-rack, and rack-to-system interface.

Designed for networking, virtualization, big data, and signals intelligence workloads, Mercury's CMS X08 drives the world’s most critical applications.
