We have commissioned or flat-pack pi clusters, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 nodes (not on the website). Drop us a line at [email protected] for a quote.

Mounts on the underside of the Pi, fits with Cluster Blade and leaves the HAT position clear). Fit in with Micro Cluster and the new Edge Racks.
Woo hoo! @Raspberry_Pi Compute Module 4! Our view? For deeply embedded designs that need full PCIe I/O, it's the ONLY game in town.

FYI, this will be available online at our website later this week (the 1RU 4 node in the foreground that is).

Nearly ready! BitScope Micro Cluster, 4 x Raspberry Pi 4B 8G, switch, power, mounting, cooling, control and diagnostics in a compact 1RU with connection via a single PoE network cable, now in pre-release testing (shown dogfooding with BitScope Mini).

On Cluster Blade, each node has a BMC, essentially a "tiny BitScope" that monitors current, voltage and temperature. It controls the cooling fan, manages node power and communicates via an extensible RS485 control bus to implement the control plane.

We’ve experimented with denser designs. Cooling can become an issue if one is not careful though. This one is fine at low load (some edge use cases) but unlike our new Cluster Blade design, it can run into the governor if pushed.
