Mercury Systems: HDC-U.2 High Density Compute and HDS8R Storage Rugged Blades With EDSFF SSD

Mercury Systems Inc. announced the HDC-U.2 high density compute and HDS8R storage blades, combining storage and compute capabilities into single-blade Enterprise and Datacenter SSD Form Factors (EDSFF) so customers can minimize their overall computing footprint without sacrificing storage capacity or computing speed.

These blades expand the rugged RES HD blade server platform with up to 8 high-capacity SSDs and 2 Xeon server-class processors in a single slot and feature optional hardware and software protection to safeguard critical IP. Utilizing a single blade type, customers can keep pace with compute-intensive applications such as AI, ML and sensor fusion and accelerate decision-making by capturing, storing and analyzing data onboard the platform in real time that would have otherwise been discarded or sent to the cloud for processing.

“The growth of big data, 5G networks and AI continues to increase compute and storage demands on edge systems,” said Scott Orton, VP and GM, Edge. “IT administrators and systems architects are constantly juggling trade-offs between storage capacity, bandwidth, latency and cost to stay ahead of the technology refresh curve. Our new scalable HDC-U.2 and HDS8R blades provide the ideal balance of these features, supporting next-gen PCIe speeds while maximizing serviceability, storage and compute capabilities, all while delivering significant cost savings. Through these types of innovations, we’re making technology profoundly more accessible to aerospace and defense.“

The firm is accelerating innovation for its customers as it bridges the gap between commercial technology and defense applications to meet the industry’s current and emerging needs.
