Themis Computer Announces New Front I/O Systems for its Family of XR3 Rugged Enterprise Servers

FREMONT, California – July 20, 2010 - Themis Computer® has announced two new high performance servers for mission-critical applications in harsh environments – the RES-22XR3/FIO™ and RES-32XR3/FIO™. Themis’ new Rugged Enterprise Servers (RES) are offered as 2RU and 3RU systems in a 17-inch (431.8mm) depth chassis with all I/O accessible from the front of the machines. Power supplies, disk drives, Gigabit Ethernet controllers and a graphics port are also front panel accessible. Front panel only access and a shallow depth design, make these servers ideal solutions for use in space constrained environments. Themis’ new servers support the Linux® and Windows® Operating Systems to run a wide variety of user applications.

“Customers asked for front-access I/O systems, and we responded with innovative new systems featuring front panel only access and a shallow 17” depth, for space constrained environments,” stated William Kehret, president of Themis Computer. “The latest Intel four- and six-core Xeon processors, combined with extensive memory and storage, give these new RES systems exceptional performance and industry leading SWaP (Size, Weight and Power)”, Mr. Kehret added.

Themis’ new systems are offered with four-core (5500 series) or six-core (5600 series) Intel Xeon processors, with up to 144GB memory, extensive disk storage – up to eight lockable and removable drives, hot swappable fans and hard disk drives, and single or redundant power supply options for increased reliability in challenging environments. Featuring a compact, light aluminum chassis and Themis’ advanced thermal and mechanical design techniques, these new servers will provide users industry leading RAS (Reliability, Availability and Service). Easily expandable through the addition of commercially available, off the shelf networking cards, graphics, I/O, peripherals and other value-added options, the RES-22XR3/FIO and RES-32XR3/FIO servers are ready for current and future system requirements.
