QMC SSD Module

VITA 93 Compliant NVMe Storage for Rugged Systems

Next-Gen Mezzanine SSD. Built for the Toughest Environments.

As rugged embedded systems demand more computing power in less space, traditional M.2 and XMC storage modules are reaching their limits. UD info’s QMC SSD Module (QMC-SWDL) is designed to the VITA 93 standard delivers PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe performance in a form factor that’s less than a quarter the size of a standard XMC card.

Whether you’re designing for aerospace platforms, military vehicles, edge AI nodes, or transportation infrastructure, the QMC-SWDL gives you the storage speed, capacity, and environmental resilience your system needs without compromise.

Why QMC? Why Now?

The VITA 93 QMC standard represents a new chapter in rugged embedded computing. Developed to replace aging mezzanine formats, QMC delivers higher bandwidth, better modularity, and a significantly smaller footprint, all while maintaining the ruggedness that defense and industrial applications demand.

UD info is the only manufacturer to bring a QMC-compliant SSD module to market combining our deep NAND Flash expertise with the flexibility of this next-generation standard.

QMC-SWDL at a Glance

Compact. Fast. Rugged.

Measuring just 78.25 x 26 x 9.35 mm, the QMC-SWDL packs serious NVMe performance into a single-width QMC form factor. It fits directly into VNX+ (89 mm x 78 mm) and other VITA 93-compatible carrier cards, making integration straightforward for system designers.

Key Highlights:

• VITA 93 Compliant : Built to the latest small form factor mezzanine standard for seamless interoperability across QMC-compatible platforms

• Rugged Samtec Connector : Engineered for high resistance to vibration and shock, ensuring reliable connectivity even in mobile and airborne platforms
• IPMI Ready : Supports Intelligent Platform Management Interface for health monitoring and management in advanced computing systems

Specifications

Built for Mission-Critical Applications

The QMC-SWDL is designed from the ground up for systems where failure is not an option. Here’s where it fits:

Defense & Aerospace

From avionics computers and radar systems to unmanned vehicles, the QMC-SWDL delivers reliable, high-speed storage that meets the stringent size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements of modern defense platforms. Its extended temperature range and rugged connector design ensure consistent operation in extreme environments.

Edge AI & High-Performance Computing

AI inference at the edge requires fast, compact storage to handle real-time data processing. The QMC-SWDL’s PCIe Gen4 x4 interface provides the throughput edge AI accelerators need, in a form factor small enough to fit into space-constrained edge nodes and embedded GPU platforms.

Industrial Automation & Embedded Systems

Factory automation controllers, industrial PCs, and embedded computing platforms increasingly need NVMe-level performance in ruggedized packages. The QMC-SWDL replaces bulky storage modules with a compact, vibration-resistant solution that keeps production lines running.

Transportation & In-Vehicle Systems

Railway signaling systems, in-vehicle computers, and fleet management platforms demand storage that can handle constant vibration, temperature swings, and 24/7 operation. The QMC-SWDL is built for exactly these conditions, with wide-temperature support and a secure, shock-proof connector.
