PC/104 - Plus Com Express PICMG VITA 46 IEC 60603-2 Rittal whitepaper - Physical security in IT


and data centre technology Data centres represent a key technology in an increasingly digitised world. They house the servers and storage systems with their associated network components so that applications are present with the agreed availability and the required performance. Equally important is the physical infrastructure that provides the power and cooling for these components, as well as permitting the monitoring of all the operating parameters.


Increasing importance is being given to all aspects of security. This starts with well-known anti-virus protection and firewall systems, although protection against physical threats also calls for increasing attention. Besides defence against such very real threats as burglary and theft, it also involves avoiding unwanted eavesdropping via the EMC irradiation from IT equipment, as well as the “traditional” potential dangers of fire, smoke, water and dust, to only name but a few.


This white paper explores each of these threat scenarios and reveals the measures that can be used to counter physical hazards.

congatec introduces Server-on-Modules with new Intel®


Xeon® /Core™ processors congatec’s new COM Express modules deliver server-class embedded performance


congatec AG, a leading technology company for embedded computer modules, single board computers (SBCs) and embedded design and manufacturing (EDM) services, has expanded its COM Express Basic portfolio with new server-class embedded modules. The new Server-on-Modules are equipped with 6th generation Intel Xeon and Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors (codenamed Skylake). The DDR4 memory of the conga-TS170 modules provides up to twice as much system memory performance for data-intensive applications while consuming 20 percent less energy and requiring only half the footprint of DDR3 RAM that is expected to become legacy in future applications. In addition, the modules offer faster processor speeds, a 60 percent accelerated


system bus and an enlarged Intel Smart Cache (up to 8 MB) as well as the PCIe Gen 3.0 support for all PCIe Lanes and the new Intel HD Graphics P530. Overall, users can expect to benefit from enhanced system performance and packing density with lower space and energy requirements.


The new modules have been developed for the server-class of embedded designs that operate within a thermal power envelope of 25-45W TDP and require custom I/O and IoT interfaces. The new conga- TS170 modules equipped with Intel Core processors are suitable for applications including test and measurement equipment, back-end systems in medical imaging, high-performance industrial workload stations as well as intelligent vending machines.
