The 3U Rugged Server Solution
This Rugged server replaces multiple aging devices with a single compact solution. Thus, reducing the size, weight, power, and cooling overhead, as well as streamlining maintenance. It is fully customisable providing customers a more modern reliable and capable system .
The 3U Rugged server is modular and scalable therefore able to support evolving requirements and technologies over a long operational life. It’s versatile and completely configurable. With four drive bays, 3 PCI express (PCIe) slots, and support for up to1TB of memory and flexible I/O. Most importantly, storage and networking can be conducted easily. Thereby, accommodating any future upgrades and expansion required.
Crystal Group engineers tap decades of experience developing field-tested, combat-proven rugged hardware that meets or exceeds strict industry standards to craft the ES373 3U Rugged Server designed specifically for critical power infrastructure applications. Firstly, the components are stabilised in a rugged aluminium enclosure. Along with advanced thermal management. This is to boost system reliability, availability, and survivability in the face of challenging conditions and extreme environments. Such as shock and vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity. Plus even more at the most remote power substations – where consumer grade systems may fail!
Finally, Crystal Group’s ES373S17 leverages the latest, industry-leading commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies with partners Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, VMware virtualisation software, and DC Systems’ human-machine interfaces (HMI).
