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.
