A server suitable for warzone use

By | January 28, 2013, 4:19 AM PST

NCS Technologies has developed a new offering for the server community — a system suitable for warzones.

The Bunker XRV-5241, is touted as a “powerful and reliable” computer system suitable for both governmental and enterprise use. The XRV-5241 rugged 1U short-depth server has been designed to endure in particularly harsh conditions — such as cramped spaces, tough terrain or sea — as well as excessive force when you drop it.

According to the firm, there is a market for servers that can withstand such treatment, and having been tested by the U.S. military — and found to function after a drop of one meter — the Bunker meets environmental, shock and vibration requirements for military use.

Able to withstand temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius when running, minus 40 - 70 while off and an altitude of up to 3,048 and 25,000 feet respectively, the server also has a DC power option which means the Bunker can be powered from aircrafts or vehicles while on the move.
