Server/MHS
Welcome
The Modular Hardware System (MHS) Subproject envisions interoperability between key elements of data center, edge and enterprise infrastructure by providing consistent interfaces and form factors among modular building blocks.

Scope
Modular Hardware System (MHS) Subproject comprises of three Workstreams, DC-MHS, DC-SCM, and Edge-MHS. Each workstream independently operates under its own CLA and governance. Each workstream may have multiple sub-workstreams. Workstreams cooperate between each other to advance MHS as a whole.
