Crystal Group RS4104 and RS4198L24 rugged servers

Crystal Group has announced the introduction of the RS4104 and RS4198L24, two high-performance and highly configurable rugged servers.

The rackmounted servers are driven by Intel Haswell or Broadwell E5-2600 V3 or V4 processors and can be configured with up to 1.5 TB Registered DDR4 of memory, delivering high performance for most processor-intense applications. They have been designed to accept GP/GPU engines such as the Xeon Phi, AMD FirePro or the nVidia Tesla platforms.

The processing power of the server-class motherboard and the parallel processing capability of dedicated co-processors make the devices suitable for data-intensive applications including digital signal processing (DSP) intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), radar signal processing, training and oil and gas exploration. Data can be gathered from the boards, analysed quickly and immediately made available for decision-makers.

The RS4104 supports up to 10 PCIe 3.0 x8 or 5 PCIe 3.0 x16 expansion slots for add-in cards and is powered by a 1780 W power supply. The RS4198L24 supports up to 10 PCIe 3.0 x16 expansion slots (eight of which can support double-width cards) for add-in cards and is powered by 3200 W 2+2 power supplies.
