Kontron Industrial servers

The Kontron industrial silent server (KISS) family has a high-performance member that brings the density and processing power of data processing centres to industrial applications.

The 1U PCI-760 with Intel quad-core processors is claimed to be one of the most compact, robust, quietest and fast high-availability industrial servers for densely packed long-life-cycle applications.

It has scalable performance from the Core2 quad processor Q9300 with 4 x 2.5 GHz, as well as 8 GB of DDR2 dual-channel RAM into an industrial server with an installation height of 44 mm.

This makes it a suitable fit for densely packed real-time embedded multi-processing applications such as industrial test and measurement with simultaneous data collection and evaluation; control and visualisation of imaging telecommunications in medical and industrial applications; as well as for the broad field of simulation technology and applications that require parallel processing of several video and/or audio streams.

Security applications suitable for the device also require reliable, space-saving server cluster solutions for video surveillance with automatic image recognition/face recognition in facilities management, public areas and subway/railway stations as well as mission-critical solutions, such as railroad control centres.

The server comes with built-in Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) 3.0 remote management engine that offers enhanced security and remote management for easier maintenance and higher system availability.

The server offers a wide range of interfaces for flexible customisation. For applications that need the dedicated processing power of high-end 3D GPUs, there is an optional PEG interface.

It also offers an optional 1 x PCI Express x 4 slot, as well as 2 x PCI 32-bit slots, six x USB 2.0, two x Gb ethernet, 1x VGA and two serial ports.

In addition to its shock and vibration protected internal 3.5" HDD the server has enough space to accommodate another 3.5" HDD, or 2 x 2.5" HDDs, also shock and vibration protected.

The optional Stor Slim RAID 1 subsystem provides enhanced data safety via 2 x 2.5" HDDs in a single, hot-swappable carrier.
