Introduction 

Goal: An innovative architecture for small-size edge cloud using data processor


To meet the demanding increase of 5G data and the utilize the advantage of low latency and high bandwidth of 5G technologies, the number of small-size datacenter is increasing dramatically. Research shows there shall be more than 2.8 million cloudlet datacenters with less than 200 servers connected near the 5G tower. In IEC Type 5 project, we will build an innovative architecture for small-size edge cloud computing using latest and greatest data processor.


PCIe Extending  Cluster

The compute blade and the main control blade connect to the backplane through PCIe to form a miniaturized server cluster.
