Data center and HPC analytics systems have been deployed using a RapidIO 2D Torus Mesh Fabric,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hpcwire.com/2014/09/24/paypal-finds-order-chaos-hpc/|title=PayPal Finds Order from Chaos with HPC|date=24 September 2014|website=hpcwire.com}}</ref> that provides a high speed general purpose interface among the system cartridges. This allows for applications that benefit from high bandwidth to low latency node-to-node communication.  The RapidIO 2D Torus unified fabric is routed as a torus ring configuration connecting up to 45 server cartridges. Hence, capable of providing 5Gbs per lane connections in each direction to its north, south, east and west neighbors. This allows the system to meet many unique HPC applications where efficient localized traffic is needed.

Also, using an open modular data center and compute platform,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://prodrive-technologies.com/prodrive-technologies-announces-datacenter-hpc-system-dccp-280-rapidio-10-gigabit-ethernet/|title=Prodrive Technologies announces its Datacenter - HPC system (DCCP-280) with RapidIO and 10 Gigabit Ethernet - Prodrive Technologies|date=30 January 2014|website=prodrive-technologies.com}}</ref> a heterogeneous HPC system has showcased the low latency attribute of RapidIO to enable real-time analytics.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20141118005342/en/IDT-Orange-Silicon-Valley-NVIDIA-Accelerate-Computing#.VQqdHuF0Uso|title=IDT, Orange Silicon Valley, NVIDIA Accelerate Computing Breakthrough With RapidIO-based Clusters Ideal for Gaming, Analytics|website=businesswire.com|date=18 November 2014 }}</ref> In March 2015 a top-of-rack switch was announced to drive RapidIO into mainstream data center applications.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://prodrive-technologies.com/prodrive-technologies-launches-prsb-760g2-large-rapidio-networks/|title=Prodrive Technologies Launches PRSB-760G2 for large RapidIO networks - Prodrive Technologies|date=2 March 2015|website=prodrive-technologies.com}}</ref>
