Crystal Group’s RS37AS17 3U Rugged Server converges key data-handling capabilities — including high-performance processing, storage and networking — in a compact, rugged server designed to bring military-grade durability to power substations. The server is said to answer a growing demand for a quick, painless way to modernise and streamline power generation and distribution substations, boost efficiency and security, minimise downtime, and meet current and future requirements.

The product can replace multiple ageing devices with a single solution to reduce size, weight, power and cooling overhead, as well as streamline maintenance. It is fully customisable to ease the transition to a modern and capable system, and is modular and scalable to support evolving requirements and technologies over a long operational life.

The unit is completely configurable with four drive bays, three PCI Express (PCIe) slots, support for up to 1 TB of memory and flexible I/O. Compute, storage and networking capacity can be added quickly and easily to accommodate future upgrades and expansion.

The server has been crafted specifically for critical power infrastructure applications. High-quality components are stabilised in a rugged aluminium enclosure with advanced thermal management to boost availability and survivability in challenging conditions and extreme environments, including shock and vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity and more.

The device is designed and tested to meet or exceed the IEC 61850-3, IT-65, IEEE 1613 (surge only) and MIL-STD-810 standards, and complies with Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5A992.c. It leverages the latest commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies such as Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, VMware virtualisation software and DC Systems’ human-machine interfaces (HMIs).
