- Wide temperature operation (typically -20°C to +60°C or higher)
- High resistance to shock, vibration, and mechanical stress
- ECC memory for data integrity
- Support for MIL-grade / circular connectors (optional)
- Wide-range AC & DC power input
- EMI/EMC hardened design
- Designed for 24×7×365 mission-critical operation
- Long product lifecycle and configuration stability
Why Choose a Rugged Server
- Reliable operation in harsh and outdoor environments
- Minimal downtime in mission-critical systems
