One of their latest solutions is the myOPALE building block system, which provides truly disruptive technology to realise ambitious design goals for industrial computers that target size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP)-constrained operating environments.

The myOPALE modular concept is based on four key points, all inspired by open or de facto standards used in the embedded market. It eliminates the mechanical link between the CPU module and its I/O cards thanks to PCI Express Gen3-over- cable interconnection in a standard half-height 5.25-inch casing.

The design is based on COM Express Type 6 and integrates Embedded Low Power SKU’s with 10 years life support. In Skylake and Kaby Lake versions, Intel Core i7 or Xeon E3-1500 CPU with Chipset platforms are selected, which directly drive 24 PCIe Gen3 lanes as their expansion bus.

There are a wide range of configurations and options available. If you would like to discuss the myOPALE concept please contact us at info@sarsen.net.

ECRIN can provide a complete integrated computer with Environmental Qualification Tests passed and mandatory Certification stickers for domestic and export countries. ive 24 PCIe Gen3 lanes as their expansion bus.

It's Tuesday, and the Spotlight is on Trenton Systems....

Trenton Systems was established in 1977, and has become a global leader in the design and manufacture of board level products and fully integrated computer systems that address the critical needs of industries such as defense, test and measurement and financial trading.

Trenton Systems board level manufacturing facilities are located in Utica, New York, and the system integration, sales and engineering teams are located at the Trenton headquarters in Gainesville, Georgia.

Trenton delivered some of the first single board computers with advanced dual-processor architectures. They are also one of the founding member companies of the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group® (PICMG®), and played a key leadership role with regard to writing and publishing industry standards such as PICMG 1.0 and PICMG 1.3.

The financial trading industry is an exciting, fast moving environment, which requires high performance products, expandability and long-life cycles – not to mention enclosure customisations that satisfy environmental variables!
Perfect then, that Trenton offer exactly that!

There are some significant advantages to choosing a Trenton Systems Single Board Computer, Backplane or Embedded Motherboard -

• Customer-driven computing solutions satisfy the most demanding requirements
• Board-level products designed, manufactured and supported in the United States
• Total BIOS control allows modifications that support complex integrated systems
• Backplane designs allow unique ISA, PCI, PCI Express 1.0 and 2.0 configurations
• Five-year factory warranty on all SBCs, backplanes & embedded motherboards
• Board-level products utilize long-life components for 7+ year product availability
• Manufacturing and computer integration facilities are ISO 9001:2008 Certified

In safe hands....

It’s been a funny old week for the folks at Sarsen Technology.

Car troubles, email issues and ‘ghost’ phone calls have made us think about how much technology we use every day, and how much it can affect us when said technology doesn’t work exactly how it should.

Fortunately, we represent 10 manufacturers who know how important it is that their products are reliable, and perform exactly how they should when you need them to.

Trenton Systems,  GA, offer an impressive 5 year warranty on all of their Embedded Motherboards, PICMG® 1.3 System Host Boards, PICMG® 1.3 backplanes and PICMG® AMC.0 (AdvancedMC) products. Trenton products are used in a wide variety of applications, such as industrial automation, military & aerospace, medical, telecom, professional video & graphics and data storage, and they have developed what is arguably the most reliable array of products in the field, moving them to the forefront of industrial PC-compatible equipment suppliers.

Trenton board and system products are built tough to survive and thrive in demanding industrial computing environments, and they offer "designed to meet" rugged system solutions as well as mil-certified products to standards such as MIL-STD-810.

If you would like more information on the Trenton Systems range, or any of our other manufacturers, please give us a call on +44 1672 511166, or drop us an email with your requirement to info@sarsen.net

Have a great weekend!
