The demand for advanced computational capabilities in naval and maritime sectors is escalating, driven by the increasing volume of data from more complex sensors, digital signal processing, and vision systems, essential for command-and-control operations. The OpenVPX VITA65 standards, developed and adopted by the defense and aerospace sectors, present an ideal architecture for many shipboard and land-based deployments, addressing the critical constraints of SWaP/C.

Deploying VPX-aligned, small-footprint, general-purpose computing systems like the GECCO EdgePod™ brings significant advantages to naval and maritime environments. These systems are 90% smaller and lighter than traditional blade and rack-mount servers, offering remarkable efficiency in space and weight. Furthermore, they use 75% less power and cooling, which substantially impacts the design of power systems and cooling plants, and contributes to an 80% reduction in operational footprint and a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over the system’s lifetime.

About Green Edge Computing Corp.
Motivated to reduce the impact of cloud computing, GECCO was founded in 2021 to offer a lower footprint alternative to the size, weight, power and cooling demands of conventional systems, and the associated reduction of e-waste that can be attained with more robust system designs. GECCO EdgePods™ can reduce power and cooling needs by over 75% and eliminates up to 90% of the e-waste produced by obsolete computing equipment. GECCO offers lower total cost of ownership, improvements in business resilience, and a path to better edge computing while respecting the need to protect our global environment.
