Augmentix(TM) Launches Rugged A+860 Server Based on Dell's(TM) PowerEdge(TM) Platform.A+860 1U Server Delivers a Highly Functional, Durable, Cost-Effective Solution for Mission-Critical Space-Conscious Environments AUSTIN, Texas -- Augmentix[TM] Corporation, an innovative provider of computing solutions for mission-critical environments, announced today the introduction of the A+860 1U Server, a server that takes both durability and availability to new levels. Based on the Dell PowerEdge This article or section needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. 860 1U server, Augmentix launched the A+ version, which incorporates state of the art thermal management and security, along with shock, vibration and contaminants protection, to meet the mission critical needs of military and industrial customers worldwide. The A+860 has been re-packed into a sub 20" depth steel enclosure which is a requirement for many space conscious military and industrial customers. In addition Augmentix has shock and front mounted two user accessible SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. or SAS (1) (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, www.sas.com) A software company that specializes in data warehousing and decision support software based on the SAS System. Founded in 1976, SAS is one of the world's largest privately held software companies. See SAS System. Hard Disk Drives that provide up to 1.5TB of storage and RAID 0, 1 capabilities. On the A+860, protection begins on the outside with a corrosion resistant industrial strength housing including integrated stiffener stiff·en tr. & intr.v. stiff·ened, stiff·en·ing, stiff·ens To make or become stiff or stiffer. stiff plates and support bars. The Augmentix A+ Diamond Thermal Management, Shock and Vibration Protection and Airborne Contaminants airborne contaminants, n.pl materials in the atmosphere that can affect the health of persons in the same or a nearby environment. Also referred to as air pollution. Filtration Systems support reliable and continuous A+ 860 operation in extreme operating conditions. The A+860 is independently tested (select MIL-STD-810F) and designed to military standards (MIL-STD-901D, MIL-STD-167, MIL-STD-1474) further validating the reliable performance of Augmentix A+860 in mission-critical applications under demanding conditions. The A+860 features Single, Dual or Quad Core A single chip with four distinct processors that work simultaneously. Intel introduced its first x86-based quad-core CPUs in late 2006 (see Core 2), and AMD introduced its first x86 quad-core chips in 2007 (see Opteron). See dual core. Intel[R] Xeon processors, a 1066MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. front side bus, up to 2x4MB L2 cache (Level 2 cache) A memory bank built into the CPU chip, packaged within the same module or built on the motherboard. The L2 cache feeds the L1 cache, and its memory is slower than L1 memory. The L2 cache feeds the L1 cache, which feeds the processor. and high speed dual channel memory, all of which combine to offer superior performance. Already known for building rugged products that can withstand the harshest of environments, Augmentix is also focused on developing servers, such as the A+860, that leverage the company's patent pending intelligent Server Availability Management Processor ("A+SAMP") System. Augmentix A+SAMP is an embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. , self contained computer that resides in the A+860 PCIx slot. SAMP monitors and reports on the overall health of the server and can be customized to specific application needs while providing autonomous monitoring and recovery with limited IT personnel intervention. SAMP has been deployed in over 17,000 systems and has provided positive Return on Investment results based on reduced field service calls, shortened recovery times and increased uptime or availability of the server solutions. "By leveraging Dell's advanced PowerEdge server roadmap and applying our engineering design expertise we are able to create powerful, durable, rack dense server solutions that are affordable and provide higher levels of availability for our customers," said Augmentix Vice President of Marketing Richard Perley. "We maintain Dell's common internal electronic architecture so that customers receive the same operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. , drivers and bios on the Augmentix A+860 as they do on Dell's PowerEdge 860. This provides measurable common platform benefits for IT managers that deploy both Dell commercial grade and Augmentix rugged systems." The A+860 Server Solution is available today from Augmentix or one of its strategic channel partners. The A+860 provides the best price performance available today in a rugged, high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. , rack dense server.
