andersDX announces the launch of MicroSVR

This is the world’s smallest, fanless, lowest power and most expandable server to use 3rd Generation Intel Core i7 processor technology. MicroSVR is ideal for a number of space constrained and remote/unattended environments such as industrial control, security network video recorders, digital signage, virtualisation, SOHO server requirements and many more applications.

MicroSVR is extremely small at 6 x 16 x 26cm and uses powerful Core i7 Ivybridge processor family options, offering clock speeds up to 2.5 GHz, and dual channel memory with support for up to 32 GB EEC Ram. It has an extremely rich set of standard I/O including 2x GbE , 2x USB3, 2x USB2.0, 2 x RS232 serial connectors, ESATA and both HDMI and Display Port for multiple display support, leveraging Intels HD4000 graphics chip,for up to WQXGA resolution (2560x1600). Connectivity is also offered through Wifi and Bluetooth support, whilst Intels AMT enables an effective remote management solution. For storage, MicroSVR supports 4 x 2.5” hard discs, RAID 0,1,5,10 + mSATA socket. All this is housed within a ruggedized metal enclosure designed to dissipate heat and thus enable fanless operation.

One of the key benefits of MicroSVR, is the almost unlimited options for expansion, due to 2x miniPCIe sockets, which can be used for standard cards such as video capture or 3G / GPS connectivity, and the support of the FACE module concept which extends across other products in the range. FACE Modules literally enable users to ‘change the front face’ of the product, and integrate additional functionality that is brought out through an internal I/O extension offering support for 4 x PCIe x 1, 1 x PCIe x 8 , 5 x USB2 , GPIOs , SMBus, LPC, LVDS 24 bit, 2 x USB3.0. Standard FACE module options are also available including multiple Ethernet ports, additional USB ports, Serial ports etc.

MicroSVR will be offered in a range of configurations with different processor, memory and OS options including Linux, Windows Embedded and Standard Server editions. “The MicroSVR is an amazing engineering achievement when one considers the combination of size, performance, fanless operation and ultra low power” says Rob Anders, CEO of andersDX “What’s more, the ability to expand functionality though FACE modules really extends its suitability across many, many sectors. This will be a killer product”
