Ampex Announces New Ruggedized Solid State Airborne Server

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 9, 2011 — Ampex Data Systems Corporation today announced the release of their ruggedized solid state airborne server, the TuffServ™ 280 (TS 280).

Packaged in a relatively 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.

Standard product incorporates two GigE interfaces and is pre loaded with SUSE Linux software. Future enhancements include AES 256 encryption and 10GigE interface options.

The TS 280 fits the bill for customers who need the flexibility of a ruggedized system at a competitive price point.
