Plat’Home, Japan’s Linux pioneer, today announced the start of shipment for the OpenBlockS 600, a compact robust Linux micro server.
The OpenBlockS 600 is a small, tough server designed to withstand earthquakes, desert heat, extreme cold or... just tough office and production environments. It packs a 600 MHz CPU, a full Gigabyte of RAM and Gigabit Ethernet in a palm-sized box. To remove the major causes for hardware failure, it has no fan, no HDD and no electrolytic capacitors, for an astonishing mean time between failure (MTBF) of 468,932 hours (over 53 years!) and a maximum ambient temperature raised to 55 deg C / 131 deg F.
At 5.2-inches-by-3.1-inches in size, 1.2 inches thick, and under 10 ounces weight, the server fits -- and survives -- in any small corner. And at a mere 8 W power consumption, it’s an embedded system that's friendly to both wallet and environment.
The OpenBlockS is available at:
Plat'Home offers a wide range of preinstall and customization options for value-added resellers and appliance makers who wish to base their product on the OpenBlockS 600.
