086329-004 Integrated Solutions for Embedded Edge Servers

086329-004 COM Express remains the undisputed standard specification for newer embedded carrier boards with mid to high end performance. No other specification seems to be able to compete with it. This specification has gone through a number of low-profile revisions, with today’s version 3.0 released in May 2017, which is the benefit of a standard specification.

086329-004 In the relatively new Type 7 specification, COM Express is built for embedded edge server applications and can even be used as a benchmark for the VITA specification under extreme conditions. Other module standards, such as Qseven and SMARC 2.0, while both support ARM-based application processors, are limited to low-power or small designs.

The latest 086329-004 module standard specification draws on lessons learned from the past: from the outset, this standard for high-performance embedded computer modules has been developed by PICMG to avoid as much as possible intense competition between modules. A manufacturer-independent consortium is the ideal ecosystem for a third-generation module standard specification.
