Ampex Ruggedized Solid State Airborne Server/Recorder

Ampex Data Systems Corporation announced its ruggedized solid state airborne server, the TuffServ 280 (TS 280).

Packaged in a small form factor with excellent SWaP, the TS 280 is a rugged, general purpose computing platform for airborne and mobile applications.

It functions as a ruggedized computer, a file server, or as a recorder with additional application software. Designed to perform with flexible media options, the TS 280 supports both a twin SSD removable module for high-performance/high-capacity use and up to two Compact Flash cards for low cost commodity storage. Standard product incorporates two 1GbE interfaces and is pre-loaded with SUSE Linux software. Future enhancements include AES 256 encryption and 10GbE interface options.

The TS 280 fits the bill for customers who need the flexibility of a ruggedized system at a competitive price point. Ampex most recently displayed the TS 280 at the ITC show.
