Kontron Industrial Silent Server KISS 4U KTC5520

The Kontron Industrial Silent Server KISS 4U KTC5520 is claimed to be a robust open standard platform, offering up to dual Intel Xeon 5600 Series processors supporting up to 48 GB DDR3 ECC registered SDRAM per processor. Up to 12 processing cores designed with 32 nm technology offer high performance density and make it suitable for virtualisation, allowing formerly separate apps to be moved onto a single, cost-effective system.

The KISS 4U KTC5520 features an operating temperature range of 0 to 50°C, an operating humidity range of 10-95%, all-around IP20 protection (optionally upgradeable to IP52 at the front), and high shock and vibration protection.

An integrated management processor (IMP) offers VGA/2D, BMC and KVM/VM over IP (iKVM) to support real-time access with full control by keyboard, video monitor and mouse (KVM) and virtual media (VM) by a single local computer from anywhere, at any time, and permits out-of-band management when the main processors are not powered-on.

The KISS 4U KTC5520 also provides PCI Express, PCIe 2.0, PCIe and PCI slots. There are also two gigabit ethernet ports, six USB 2.0 interfaces and a COM (RS232) port.

Data media can be hooked up via six SATA connections with onboard RAID 0/1/5/10 functionality. Two 5.25″ slots, one slimbay slot (both externally accessible) and one 3.5″ slot offer enough space for shock-proof stored hard disks, CD/DVD drives or the optional Kontron KISS Stor hard disk subsystem with RAID 1 or 0/5. The serial digital video interface provides DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort via the PCI Express slot.
