Kontron KISS 4U EATX: Maximum processor performance at minimum noise levels

Kontron introduced the new Kontron Industrial Silent Server KISS 4U EATX. It hosts the extremely high processor performance and energy efficiency of two new 8-core Intel Xeon E5-2600 processors each with up to 2.5 GHz turbo clock frequency, and is housed in a robust, yet ultra-quiet, industrial server design.

Kontron - KISS 4U EATX

Thanks to the integrated motherboard for the Extended ATX (EATX) standard, the new Kontron KISS 4U EATX boasts an extremely high power density and scalability - paired with flexible configurability for individual application requirements. With a total of 16 processor cores, 36 threads and up to 512 GB of DDR3 ECC RAM the industry server with its long-term availability of up to five years is the optimal solution for performance-hungry applications such as industrial imaging, medical technology, cloud computing, as well as storage and simulation applications.

Kontron's Industrial Silent Server KISS 4U EATX with its low noise level of around 35dBA is also ideally suited for applications in noise-sensitive areas like manned control rooms and video surveillance systems. The KISS 4U EATX also stands out from other conventional servers, as it meets tough application demands, including high shock and vibration resistance as well as hot-swappable chassis fans which can now be exchanged more conveniently via the front panel, minimizing maintenance effort. Besides the standard version with IP20 protection, there is also a variant with IP52, which protects against dust and dripping water. The operating temperature ranges from 0 to 50 °C.

OEMs and end-users benefit from high quality design and manufacturing, flexible configurability with standard components and the user-friendly administration options of the Kontron KISS 4U EATX, which all contribute to the especially low Total-Cost-of-Ownership.

Benefits of designing with the Dual Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 Family

The 32nm Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 family introduces a multitude of enhancements intended to significantly improve processor performance over previous generations, while lowering latency and saving power intelligently. It is the first server-class Intel processor to integrate PCI Express 3.0, enabling the I/O hub to be removed to save board-level real estate.
