Fanless Servers

Enterprise-class airborne servers designed to accelerate compute-intensive workloads at high altitudes

High-performance servers for airborne environments

Bringing enterprise-class, data center processing to defense airborne platforms to enable surveillance, signal intelligence, sensor fusion, audio/video processing and other compute-intensive applications.

Completely fanless design to improve reliability

Fans and other moving components increase chances of mechanical failure and lower Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF). Designed to fit in onboard plenum enclosures, RES Aero servers provide high performance computing without added fans. A fanless design produces less noise and enables operation at high altitudes, even during loss of cabin pressure, a critical requirement for many sophisticated military weapons systems

RES Aero XR5

Front I/O Airborne Servers

Designed to accelerate compute-intensive workloads at high altitudes, even during loss of cabin pressure, the completely fanless RES Aero XR5 servers packages dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4 processors with 22 cores and 2TB DDR4 ECC memory in lightweight form factors that are fitted to onboard plenum enclosures.
