Kontron's ultra quiet 19in/2U industrial server packs multi-core performance and layout flexibility into a reduced installation depth of only 350 mm. With its compact form, the quiet (<35 dBA) Kontron KISS-2U Short ensures plenty of room for connecting cable ducts and dock-ons at the rear, making it ideal for rack mounting in rugged industrial applications.
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).
