Reliability-Maintainability-Availability
Uninterrupted performance is critical
to most application - our high reliability systems offer comprehensive
protection to provide the power and peace of mind your market demands.
A primary driver in the applied computing solutions market is the
demand for maintainability (ease of maintenance) and high availability
(near-zero downtime) systems for mission critical applications. The
standard for such systems is "five nines" (99.999%) reliability, which
equates to five minutes or less downtime per year. To achieve that
level of performance, key system components, including the Single Board
Computer (SBC), power supply, peripherals, card-bay cooling, high MTBF
fans with an easily removable drive bay and fan filters are the
building blocks for a fully integrated system offering; Reliability,
Serviceability, Scalability, Maintainability, and Availability.
