Introducing the TeraBox 220DE
That’s where our TeraBox 220DE comes in. It’s got the ruggedization you need for most edge needs (as we said, a remote location—not in an ultra-clean datacenter) but at a middle-ground cost. Applications include telecom, defense, retail—and this server is a great way to reduce the expense of going rugged.
If you’re not familiar with TeraBox, these are servers designed around the unique needs of FPGA users. Front-panel network ports for example, and we pre-integrate the cards, cables, and other time-consuming setup tasks. Plus, many TeraBox products automatically increase the integrated card’s warranty from BittWare.
This particular TeraBox is based on the Dell EMC PowerEdge XR12. It’s compact at 19 inches deep, but holds two of our full-size FPGA cards. It’s got a 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable CPU. Being a ruggedized chassis, the front panel has a dust filter, but behind that is a bonus: the I/O of your BittWare accelerator cards are right there! This gives you an enclosure that’s ruggedized (even if the PCIe cards aren’t) and a convenient compact form factor. And being a TeraBox based on a Dell server, you’re getting extended card warranty plus 24-hour response time.
The TeraBox 220DE is a great option for applications that need some ruggedization without the huge expense. You’ll get a ruggedized, MIL-STD, and NEBS Level 3 compliant server with BittWare’s best-in-class FPGA cards – all in a tested, ready-to-use solution.
