Kontron UK offers a range of Intel based rack mount platforms around two core architectures: passive backplane (SBC) and motherboard. The benefits of the passive backplane are its ability to support a greater number and combination of ISA / PCI expansion slots (up to 20) and to offer longer life cycles, which can be up to 4 years. This architecture, therefore, offers huge advantages for customers requiring lifecycle management and revision control. In comparison motherboards generally offer a lower cost alternative at the expense of slots and continuity, hence they are generally suited for applications where the latest processing technologies are required, at the keenest price.

The Kontron UK server range offers base platforms ranging from 1U through to 6U and has a variety of options for fault tolerance and storage. Simply call us with a definition of what you are trying to achieve and our sales engineers will work with you to specify a suitable configuration. In addition the Omnix and C4000 platforms are designed to allow custom paint and logo finishes making them ideal for customers wishing to OEM our platforms. Remember all platforms are available with our specialist integration services www.kontron.co.uk
