Although over 40 years old, VME continues to be used today in applications that require a rugged and fail-safe industrial computing platform that’s tried and tested.

Adopting the Eurocard mechanical standard meant pluggable power supplies and filtered fan trays could be easily incorporated to meet the high-availability requirements of the system.
