Sundance and Etion Create Launch OpenVPX Knowledge Base to Future-proof Design
–New blog series consolidates expertise on open modular frameworks for defence applications
LONDON and PRETORIA — September 2, 2025 — Sundance Multiprocessor Technology (Sundance), a specialist in embedded parallel processing, has joined with Etion Create, a leader in modular computing systems, to launch a comprehensive blog series on OpenVPX design, hosted at sundance.com.
This new knowledge base supports engineers working on ruggedised systems aligned with DoD-mandated initiatives, such as Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), which promotes improved system flexibility to reduce cost and extend system lifetime in mission-critical applications.
“Migrating systems to OpenVPX is a forward-thinking strategy that better supports integrating modern processing capabilities for mission-critical applications,” said Flemming Christensen, managing director, Sundance. “Launched in partnership with Etion Create, our new blog series shows developers how to leverage OpenVPX as a framework for future-proofing military and industrial systems.”
“OpenVPX’s true advantage lies in its capacity for dynamic reconfigurability, enabling systems to respond to unforeseen workloads such as quantum-resistant encryption and neuromorphic computing,” said Jan Hurter, product manager, Etion Create. “These attributes, and the fact that OpenVPX is an easy architecture for engineers to grasp, make it a vitally important paradigm for modern, standards-guided applications.”
OpenVPX Blog Topics
Sundance and Etion Create’s blog series cover a wide range of noteworthy topics:
- The rise of military and aerospace open standards
- An introduction to OpenVPX
- Designing OpenVPX systems
- Extending OpenVPX Systems for enhanced capabilities
- How OpenVPX is revolutionising Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) systems
- Use of OpenVPX in Saab’s Integrated Defence Aids Suite (IDAS)
- VNX and VNX+ as a more compact alternative to OpenVPX for SWAP-C optimisation
These discussions will culminate in Sundance and Etion Create’s attendance at DSEI UK, where they will exhibit jointly their latest OpenVPX, VNX and VNX+ products.
