Rugged Science Rolls Out Complete NOMAD Rugged Rackmount Server Lineup

SPARKS, Md. - Aug. 11, 2025 - PRLog -- Rugged Science has officially launched the full NOMAD Rugged Rack Mount Server Series in 1U, 2U, and 3U configurations, giving customers full control over how and where high-performance computing gets deployed — without compromise.

The NOMAD Series integrates seamlessly into complex deployments where size, power, and I/O requirements demand flexibility without sacrificing performance. Every unit is built to order, tested in-house, and tailored to mission-specific requirements.

Unlike generic enclosures posing as rugged systems, NOMAD servers are engineered and assembled entirely at Rugged Science's Sparks, Maryland facility. Mechanical design, thermal modeling, firmware control, and CNC fabrication all take place under one roof, ensuring faster turnaround, tighter tolerances, and complete control over performance and reliability.

"We design these systems based on where they're going to be used," said Kevin McMaster, Lead Mechanical Engineer and Engineering Manager at Rugged Science. "It has to survive the environment, fit into existing infrastructure, and stay serviceable for the long haul."

This control over the engineering and build process eliminates the delays and compromises common with off-the-shelf systems. From custom I/O layouts and slot reconfiguration to conformal coating, secure KVM wiring, or firmware image locking, NOMAD servers are purpose-built from day one.

Whether you need fiber or copper I/O, legacy connectors, TPM 2.0 security, or GPU expansion for edge AI workloads, NOMAD can be configured to meet program demands without compromise. Customers in defense, energy, industrial automation, and transportation sectors already rely on NOMAD systems to support critical operations where downtime is unacceptable.

Technical Overview
NOMAD systems support the latest Intel, AMD, and ARM-based processors, with configurations offering up to 256 physical cores and 6TB DDR5 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Storage options include up to 384TB of front-removable storage via SATA, NVMe U.3, or M.2 drives. High-speed PCIe Gen5 slots support GP-GPUs, networking cards, and custom expansion requirements.

Engineered for thermally challenging, high-humidity, and high-altitude environments, each unit undergoes functional testing and burn-in at Rugged Science's Maryland facility to ensure dependable performance.
