Industrial servers offer high speed with low noise
Kontron's 2U and 4U KISS industrial servers are designed for applications that require high data processing performance without the need for high-speed PCI Express features.
Industrial servers keep noise levels down
KISS PCI 760 industrial servers offer scalable CPU performance ranging from single-core and dual-core Intel processors up to the Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6700 running at 2.66GHz.
These Kontron industrial servers have an installation depth of 300mm and the Kontron KISS4U Short (177 x 482 x 300mm) leaves plenty of room for connecting cable ducts and dock ons at the rear, making it suitable for rack mounting in industrial applications.
Both servers suit densely packed, data-intensive applications such as those found in test and measurement or industrial and medical image processing.
They produce less than 35dB of noise, making them suitable for use as servers in control rooms and engineering offices.
Thanks to the Intel multicore technology, the Kontron KISS servers offer the processing power to combine previously separate systems in a single platform.
This reduces hardware costs and increases system reliability.
With Intel's virtualisation technology, both Kontron KISS KT965 Flex servers enable resources to be used more efficiently.
The Kontron servers can also be used as a host system, furthering the homogenisation of IT infrastructure.
The Kontron KISS KT965 Flex industrial servers are based on the Intel Q965 chipset with up to 1066MHz front side bus and the Intel ICH8 DO I/O controller hub.
The Kontron KISS KT965 Flex industrial servers provide scalable performance from the Intel Core2 Duo processor E4300 and Intel Core2 Duo processors E6400 up to the Intel Core2 Quad Q6x00 processor.
Performance is boosted by up to 8Gbyte of DDR2 dual-channel RAM.
The integrated Intel GMA 3100 graphics media accelerator supports resolutions of up to QXGA (2048 x 1536) via the VGA port.
Both compact KISS KT965 Flex servers offer two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, 10 USB 2.0 ports (two on the front) and one COM port.
Data storage media are connected via six SATA 150/300s with onboard RAID 0/1/5/10 functionality.
The KISS Stor and KISS Stor Slim RAID sub-systems with hot-swappable hard drive carriers provide easy maintenance and minimum hassle due to connection via only a single SATA cable and one power cable.
The Kontron KISS KT965 Flex servers support Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server and Vista and are available as preconfigured standard systems or can be customised as needed. Request a free brochure from Kontron UK ...
