Trenton Systems With RSC2403 Rugged NVMe JBOD 2U Server With 24 U.2 NVMe SSDs

Trenton Systems, Inc. announced its RSC2403 rugged NVMe JBOD server, designed for military, industrial, and commercial performance data bandwidth needs, surpassed the 27GB/s data throughput threshold.

The server contains 24 U.2 NVMe SSDs across three magazines. Each magazine holds eight SSDs, allowing the operator to swap drives without tools. The rugged-yet-lightweight aluminum chassis is 16.2-inches deep, also making it a light JBOD server.

Designed to meet current and future storage needs using native end-to-end PCIe interconnect, the RSC2403 JBOD server offers a substantial performance boost over traditional SATA or SAS connections.

“Trenton Systems’ RSC2403 Rugged 2U JBOD Server is a true drop-in replacement storage solution. The need to develop fast, reliable storage technologies for SIGNIT, ISR, e-warfare, and other data-intensive applications is real,” says Dwight Justice, VP, sales, Trenton. “A processor board agnostic rugged storage server offering unprecedented read and write speeds via native PCIe answers the call of duty. The operator has full control via the GbE management port while delivering greater data throughput, superior system monitoring and control, in a smaller, lighter, more efficient manner to reliably operate sensitive storage needs today, tomorrow, and for years to come.“

The RSC2403 is designed rugged, stress-tested to provide dependable storage and management for militay technology, sustainment, and modernization programs to improve data transfer and availability in and off the field. This rackmount storage server can replace outdated systems and work with any host board via eight SFF-8644 connectors, which utilize a metal outer shell compatible with shielded external connections for added ruggedness.

“It’s very rare to find truly designed and manufactured JBOD servers made in the USA, especially ones that are ideal for SWaP, high-end, local performance storage,” says Michael Bowling, president, Trenton. “Especially when coupled with availability of a local engineering team that offers full BIOS control and customization, troubleshooting, and rapid responses to your inquiries when you need it most.“

The company is letting interested parties take the JBOD Server for a spin – free of charge. With the firm’s ‘Loaner Program‘, the rugged 2U JBOD server can be loaned out for 45 days and tested in any environment. Multiple customers have already taken advantage of this offer and are reporting back outstanding reviews on both speed and reliability. Future iterations will offer hot-swap capability and individually removable drives to meet the demands of various programs and applications in both the defense and business sector.

The company provides rugged computers and components which are deployed on various military programs worldwide. The firm supports over 1,000 companies by offering ruggedized servers and workstations for critical programs with a 11+ year average computer life cycle.
