19in/2U Industrial Server Family

Despite its compact size, the 2U server boasts an extemely flexible and scaleable layout with the choice of either the embedded Kontron Mini-ITX or Flex-ATX motherboards and the latest multi-core processors from Intel and AMD currently up to 2.16 GHz. Further flexibility is provided by 2 x PCI expansion slots for application specific extension cards. Multiple Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 and serial interfaces add to the versatility of the Kontron KISS-2U Short. It is therefore the perfect fit for a broad range of applications in industrial automation, process control, high-speed image processing, medical technology, defence engineering, transportation and building control technology, to name a few.

Hard drive access in every configuration is SATA-quick and safe thanks to the shock-protected 1 x 5.25 inch and 1 x 3.5 inch drive bays. The Kontron KISS Stor Slim RAID 1 sub-system adds to data safety with 2 x 2.5 inch HDDs in a single, hot swappable carrier.

The industrial 2U server's three extremely quiet and hot swappable fans contribute to its impressive MTBF which is specified as 50,000 hours (~ 5.7 years continuous operation).
