Common Module System X08 Blade Servers

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.

  • Accelerate development Rapidly test, prototype, and deploy IT infrastructure 
  • Eliminate complexity Create compute-, storage-, and network-optimized systems with common server elements
  • Break vendor lock Expand supplier choice and future-proof your architecture through Open Compute Project (OCP) openEDGE
  • Maximize density Shrink legacy rackmount deployments by 33% with half-width compute modules 
  • Crush bottlenecks Tackle spiraling data bandwidth requirements with modern protocols like 100-400 G Ethernet, PCI Express Gen 5.0, and Gen 5 NVMe
  • Survive at the edge Bring data center capabilities to the field with the only OCP-based platform designed to MIL-STD-810H and MIL-STD-167-1A
