BitScope Blades Turn Your Pis Into Servers, Workstations and Clusters

Not satisfied with just one Raspberry Pi? No worries! element14 has announced the exclusive global availability of the new BitScope Blade range, which enables you to conveniently power and mount multiple Raspberry Pis.

BitScope Blades make it easier to build scalable computing solutions that might require a single Pi. This includes everything from standalone servers, routers and workstations up to full compute clusters, private clouds, networked physical computing and industrial IoT systems.

Every Blade can be used with simple plug packs, 12V batteries, solar power systems, low-cost uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and even passive power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions to up 48V. They may be used individually on the desktop, wall mounted or multiple Blades may be installed in racks for large scale deployment. Blades offer full access to Raspberry Pi I/O for displays, cameras, keyboards, expansion boards and peripherals including BitScopes, Raspberry Pi HATs and the Raspberry Pi 7” Touchscreen Display.

BitScope Blade is available in three editions based upon the number of Raspberry Pi boards mounted:

• BitScope Blade Uno is a flexible power and mounting solution for one Raspberry Pi computer and optional HAT. It is the perfect computing platform for Makers, students and engineers using the Raspberry Pi.

• BitScope Blade Duo is a desktop, rack or wall mountable power and mounting solution for a pair of Raspberry Pi computers, ideal for building a reliable standalone desktop and server system with the Raspberry Pi.

• BitScope Blade Quattro is a desktop, rack or wall mountable power and mounting solution for four Raspberry Pi computers, ideal for creating compute clusters, private clouds or build farms with the Raspberry Pi.
