Industrial Design Breakthrough, Advantech Rolls Out New Server Chassis

SON, Netherlands - May 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Advantech (2395.TW), a global embedded computing leader providing embedded platform solutions across multiple vertical markets, today launched a pair of server chassis, the 4U HPC-7442 and 2U HPC-7242, featuring new industrial designs that represent a breakthrough from the traditional line of industrial PCs. They provide users with intelligent, high-performance operating platforms that can serve as NVR and DVR servers for video surveillance applications and SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) servers for applications in factory automation, BEMS and so on, all apps with high storage demands.

High-performance, Intelligent Server Platforms
HPC-7442 and HPC-7242 support versatile EATX and ATX motherboards, with a highly efficient switching power supply and easy-to-maintain cooling fans. They  provide at least four SAS/SATA HDD trays, which offer flexible options for data storage. Other data storage choices include one slim-type drive bay for an optical disk drive, and one or two drive bays for internal hard drives. The unique alarm module monitors system status such as power, HDD, temperature, fan, and LAN, to maximize system uptime. Fan speed is controlled according to chassis internal temperature, optimizing system power consumption and minimizing noise. A wide range of standard computing peripherals can be integrated with these chassis to accommodate robust, 24/7 applications in rugged environments.

Advantech SCADA Server Solutions
HPC-7442 and HPC-7242 are designed for SCADA applications. When combined with ASMB-782G2 and AIMB-701G2 industrial motherboards, the systems provide secure, reliable SCADA server solutions to vertical applications in factory automation, environmental monitoring, transportation, and BEMS (building energy management systems), offering robustconnectivity, remote manageability, flexible display support, and leading edge computing technology.
