Hive by blackdevice
The problem with most Raspberry Pi clusters
Over the last decade, Raspberry Pi clusters have evolved from educational experiments into genuinely useful platforms. What began as a way to learn about distributed systems or parallel computing is now being used to run real workloads.…
Why we are building Hive
ARM infrastructure has quietly matured. What started as hobby boards and experimental clusters is now running real workloads: Kubernetes, self-hosted platforms, CI runners, edge deployments, distributed services, internal tooling.…
We're building Hive. And we're taking it to Kickstarter
We’ve been building Hive for a long time. Quietly, internally, the way hardware projects usually evolve when the goal is to build something real: PCB revisions, failed prototypes, mechanical redesigns, thermal testing, back-and-forth…
How to distribute services on a 10‑node Raspberry Pi CM5 cluster
Our ARM cluster project is moving forward: we already have several “beenodes” operational in a fully functional prototype, which we showcase in this post and in this video. As we continue developing and producing more units of the updated…
First look at our Raspberry Pi CM5 ARM cluster prototype
Join us as we unveil the first working prototype of our ARM cluster, an innovative and compact computing solution built around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5). Presented during a VMware/VMUG Galicia event at our parent company…
Introduction to ARM clusters with Raspberry Pi CM5
ARM clusters are an exciting frontier in distributed computing, especially when built using devices like the Raspberry Pi CM5. In this article, we’ll explore what an ARM cluster is, how it works, and its many practical applications—all…
