01 The chassis

Engineered for OT. Stable. Redundant. Field-serviceable.

Modular mounting, independent cooling fans, redundant power, integrated UPS batteries with thru-panel connections — every element designed so compute modules operate in the environment they were built for.

→ Compute
4 modules · Core Ultra
Independent Intel Core Ultra 7 / 9 modules. Universal mounts accept compute or 2.5" SATA storage. Mix and match per deployment.

→ Power
Dual PSU + dual AC
Two independent AC sources, load-balanced. Built-in UPS — no external unit required.

→ Interfaces
Isolated per module
Each bay: 1× (optional 2nd) 1GbE, 2–4× USB, 1× HDMI. Independent on/off and thru-panel access.

02 Configuration matrix

One chassis. Many configurations.

Configuration-dependent: universal bay mounts allow flexible combinations of compute modules and mSATA (SSD) or SATA storage (2.5"). Module version (i5 / i7) is chosen per workload, not per chassis.

03 Where it fits

Built for the floor, not the rack room.

A turnkey way to virtualize a smaller or purposed environment without building a data centre. Used to model and build density concepts that can later scale on Xeon-grade platforms.

SPEC / 06 Suitability & positioning+

The MVE is a low-cost, modern, moderate-performance compute platform with redundancy in a 1RU shallow-depth footprint. Developed for entry-level virtualization and micro-compute on the plant floor.

What it is: A turnkey way to virtualize a smaller or purposed environment without building a data centre. Used to model and build density concepts that can later be scaled on Xeon-based server-grade platforms.

What it isn't: A replacement for industry-leading data-centre server scale. Xeon-based offerings remain the answer for "big data" performance and scale.

Targeted at system builders and customers serving purposed applications — where what matters is redundancy in power, batteries, and universal compute / storage at a price point that is easily justified.

05 Hypervisors & ecosystem

Run what you already know.

MVE is hypervisor-agnostic. Keep the platform your engineering team is certified on, or take CM's reference KVM/Proxmox stack.

Virtualize the floor. Skip the data centre.
