EMDC - Edge Micro Data Center

Why EMDC?

  • Bring data-center class compute closer to where data is generated (edge).
  • Composable, modular infrastructure: dynamically pool compute, accelerators, memory, and storage via PCIe Gen5/Gen6 + CXL.
  • Designed for demanding workloads (AI inference, satellite data processing, industrial analytics) with high power density and advanced cooling.
EMDC ystem Architecture

CAPE’s Edge Micro Data Center (EMDC) is a high-density edge computing platform that brings data center-class compute closer to where data is generated, reducing latency and bandwidth use for workloads like AI inference, satellite processing, and industrial analytics. Built on a modular architecture, it dynamically assembles resources using multiple COM-HPC modules that can host CPUs and accelerators such as GPUs, FPGAs, and RISC-V processors.

Composable Infrastructure (PCIe Gen5 + Ethernet)

A high-bandwidth PCIe Gen5/Gen6 fabric with CXL pools compute, memory, accelerators, and storage, while a dedicated Ethernet switch handles fast external connectivity and internal routing.

Switching fabric example (PCIe switch prototype)

Designed for flexibility, the platform uses serviceable, node-by-node changeable boards in a standard 19-inch rack, scaling from compact enclosures to full racks, including ruggedized remote deployments.
