Crystal Group’s FORCE rugged rackmount servers marry the latest Intel Xeon Scalable Processors with high-speed networking, enhanced I/O, platform security and thermal management in a modular, customisable high-performance computing (HPC) system to bring good processing power and flexibility to the battlefield. The range comes in direct response to requests for faster processing speeds and greater storage capacities in a rugged enclosure with advanced thermal management, optimised for size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C).

The rugged servers are offered with single or dual Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Purley/Skylake), each supporting up to 24 cores and 48 PCIe lanes to provide a boost in compute capability. The Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512) ultrawide vector processing simplifies repetitive tasks. The Platform Controller Hub (PCH) offers 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) ports for high-speed communication, up to 14 SATA 3 ports for expanded storage capacity and QuickAssist Technology (QAT) for enhanced security, authentication and compression.

The servers offer a wide variety of front-end configuration options, including serial and USB ports, 6.35 cm drives, CMOS battery, pump assembly for liquid cooling, circuit breaker, card reader, USB sound card, sanitise button for security, DVD and LCD. The lightweight chassis comes in 1U, 2U and 3U sizes with 48.3, 55.9 and 63.5 cm depths, with a choice of ATX or eATX motherboard, and air- or liquid-cooled thermal management.

Crystal Group FORCE RS1104, RS2608 and RS3712 rugged servers are available now. The RS1104L22 can dissipate 280 W of CPU power with its liquid cooling.
