MIL-STD Rugged 2U Server for High Performance Computing

 
We work with a significant number of military and industrial customers, and ECRIN Systems' rugged servers are an ideal solution for their high-performance computing requirements.

The OPALE V2-MIL family of compact, highly customisable rugged servers are used by the French Army and Navy for a wide range of applications, from secure communications to weapons control, radar and surveillance. Offering high-capacity data storage in a rugged, stainless-steel package, and able to withstand some of the most hostile environments they are particularly well suited for use at sea in harsh salt fog.



Many mil-aero applications are heavily restricted in terms of size, so the OPALE V2-MIL has been designed to fit in a standard 19" rack. It's 2U height and less than 50cm depth gives customers high-end computing performance in a compact footprint.

ECRIN takes care of the full system development and guarantees long term availability to allow customers to concentrate on their own added value. Customisation is straightforward, even in small quantities. From mechanical parts to industrial design including user LED’s and I/O’s, as well as front and rear connectors, users can simply set up the system and let it run without issue, even in marine environments where the sea salt can cause other chassis to rust.



Features:

Up 0°C/46°C operating EMI/RFI: AECTP500 with power line filter
-35°C/+71°C storage 47.6 dBA
RH: 93%@40°C non-condensing Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4/v3 series
Altitude: 0-3500m operating Xeon Scalable series, on demand
Salt Fog protection 7x slots low-profile I/O
15g@20ms on Z-axis Up to 6x removable 2.5’’ SSD (12TB)
First natural frequency > 80Hz MIL-Circular connectors, on demand

What is an Embedded Processing Unit (EPU) ?

Embedded Processing Unit

Definition - Fully assembled and tested x86 embedded computer based on COM Express form factor.



The EPU concept is based on the flexibility of a 2-board set forming a complete embedded computer product. When you combine two completely separate CPU and I/O modules, tightly sandwiched together, the final product provide a huge range of advantages and a much smaller footprint than equivalent single board computers.

VersaLogic's family of rugged EPU products are designed around the COM Express form factor, and are delivered as fully assembled and tested units (including heat plate).



What's Inside

 



EPUs offer a long list of advantages over other embedded computer board products, including:
  • Fast time-to-market 
  • Smaller footprint 
  •  -40° to +85°C operation 
  • Fully tested 
  • Available off-the-shelf!
There is also often the added complication of designing a custom carrier card for COM Express modules. EPUs eliminate the effort needed to design with high speed signals, validate the I/O circuits to make sure they work properly, create testing methods for the finished units, etc. The expertise required to create software drivers, BIOS customisation, and API code for the on-board I/O is also removed for easy integration.

EPU modules are almost obsolescence proof. The industry standard form factor means it's really easy to migrate to an EPU with a newer CPU module, but keep your existing I/O configuration and connectors for drop-in compatibility. This is combined with VersaLogic's standard 5-year availability guarantee and Product Life Extension programs for almost completely future-proof technology solutions.
