The blackdevice Hive Aims to Turn Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Clusters Into "Real Infrastructure"
Design and engineering firm blackdevice is preparing to launch a modular cluster computing system built around up to eight Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) computers-on-modules — offering up to 128GB of RAM across each cluster: the Hive.
"Hive is a modular ARM compute system built around Raspberry Pi CM5, designed for homelabs, self-hosting, edge deployments and low-power infrastructure," says blackdevice's Rafael Fernandez of the company's impending launch. "Hive is built around modular hot-swappable compute nodes we call 'beenodes.' Each node runs its own Raspberry Pi CM5 and slots directly into a shared backplane system that handles power and connectivity across the chassis. Instead of assembling independent boards, cables and adapters into a cluster, Hive is designed as a single modular infrastructure platform from the beginning."
The heart of the Hive is the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, a computer-on-module built around the same Broadcom BCM2712 system-on-chip as the Raspberry...
