Today we’re taking a look at the Compute Blade, a rack-mountable PoE carrier board for a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. These are designed to allow you to stack up to 20 blades, each carrying a CM4 module, into 1U of 19" rack space. So you’re able to create a low-profile cluster with 80 ARM cores, up to 160GB of RAM and up to 160TB of NVMe storage.
