San Diego, June 2nd 2008 – At the most recent Military and Aerospace 2008 event, Mendax Microsystems announced it has started shipping fully commercial production units of its ShortServ 1020R server platform.

The ShortServ 1020R is a short depth rack mountable (1RU) redundant computer platform. Based on Intel architecture, the 1020R answers to many mission critical requirements such as fully redundant power and drives, semi-ruggedized chassis, 7-year lifespan and filtered air intake system yet it is delivered in a mere 15.5” depth chassis.

The stability and uptime of a fully redundant server platform is a necessity by todays standards. Fitting it all in a small server enclosure has been quite challenging.

In a world where almost everything smaller is praised, rugged computers are no exception. In this version, Mendax Microsystems introduces a unique chassis platform designed for high availability, on-site serviceability while maintaining a short depth footprint.

As the demand for server uptime and stability increases in mission critical environments, technology has no choice but to respond to these demands. Unfortunately most of the time, server length, even if its a few inches, takes a back seat to redundant capabilities, rugged enclosures and hot swap devices.
