PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Rugged, Modular, Tactical Compute Infrastructure for the Edge

The PacStar MDC 2.0 is a modular, expeditionary data centre designed to deliver high-performance computing, networking, and storage capabilities to the tactical edge. Housed in ruggedised, modular enclosures, the MDC 2.0 is optimised for disconnected, intermittent, and limited (DIL) environments, offering unmatched operational flexibility for demanding mission sets.

Built on enterprise-class, low-SWaP hardware and incorporating leading commercial technologies, the system supports AI/ML, data analytics, mission command, and ISR applications with the resilience and agility required for expeditionary operations.

Key Capabilities:

  • Modular & Scalable – Tailored to mission requirements with plug-and-play components for compute, storage, and networking.

  • GPU-Enabled Performance – Supports AI/ML workloads and accelerates compute-intensive applications at the edge.

  • Ruggedised for Tactical Environments – Proven performance in deployed conditions across temperature extremes, vibration, and shock.

  • Cloud-Ready Architecture – Enables deployment of containerised and virtualised workloads using familiar platforms and toolsets.

  • Secure, Multi-Domain Operations – Designed to host classified and unclassified workloads across air-gapped or isolated enclaves.

Operational Use Cases:

  • Mission Command & C2 Hosting, ISR & Intelligence Support, IoT & Edge Sensors, Cybersecurity & Networking and Data Unification.

Trusted & Interoperable

MDC 2.0 integrates with the PacStar 400-Series platform and leverages partnerships with industry leaders such as Cisco, NVIDIA, and VMware. It ensures seamless interoperability across defence networks, while maintaining low power consumption and reduced size/weight to meet the demands of deployed forces.

The PacStar MDC 2.0 empowers modern forces with enterprise-grade IT capabilities wherever they operate from the command post to the edge of the battlefield.
