20" deep XR6 Compute, Storage and Expansion Modules
Capability-dense "plug-and-pull" blades that can be combined, configured and repurposed in multiple chassis to meet precise application needs
XR6 RES HD Modules
The growth of big data, 5G networks and artificial intelligence (AI) continues to increase compute and data storage demands on edge systems. IT administrators and systems architects must consider trade-offs between performance, bandwidth, latency and cost. Our capability-dense "plug-and-pull" RES HD blades feature the latest Intel® Xeon® scalable processors and are purpose-built to deliver cost savings, keep pace with growing edge workloads and drastically reduce your overall server footprint.
Rapidly Launch the Latest Technology
Rack server refreshes are difficult and costly endeavors that require “rip and replace” when an entire server must be taken offline, removed from the rack, then upgraded or replaced. Mercury’s hot swappable “plug-and-pull” blades can be individually replaced while the server remains in the rack and stays operational to maximize uptime and cost-effectively refresh technology as your application evolves.
Ensure Uptime with Highly Available Solutions
Mix and match blades in edge-ready 2U, 3U or 4U slim chassis options to construct granulate architectures and achieve precise functionality for any platform. Minimize the need for backup or spare servers by building in local level blade redundancy or virtualizing nodes. Our edge-ready blades incorporate advanced thermal and mechanical design features to accelerate performance in any environment.
Repurpose to Maximize Investment
Blades can be reconfigured or repurposed across multiple applications and platforms, minimizing the need for spares, streamlining serviceability and maximizing investment. With per-blade weights low as 5lbs, they are easy to store, ship, carry and replace.
