Sfera Labs extends family of Pi-based edge computing servers
Summary
The Strato Pi CM v3 and Strato Pi CM Duo v3 are ideally suited to industrial and IoT applications ranging from energy management and data collection to building automation and control of marine systems. Sfera Labs introduced Strato Pi CM, a powerful, compact, 2 DIN-Rail module edge-computing server, in 2018. These products play a critical role where reliability and fault tolerance are essential; for example, distributed edge computing solutions, where servers are often installed in remote locations and expected to have a very long service life yet where physical access to the devices is limited and expensive. The new Strato Pi v3 models feature enhanced protection of the RS-485 lines and a re-designed real-time-clock circuit with improved timekeeping accuracy and extended backup battery life. Following verification of the new image, the Strato Pi CM Duo can restart the Compute Module, booting from the second SD card.
