Series Definitions

Blue Series

Designed to meet more demanding applications where multi-core Core 2 Duo™ processors with up to 8 Gbytes of RAM, vast standard and custom I/O are required; BLUE systems are built for maximum power dissipation of 50 watts or less and weigh up to 5 lbs. maximum. These systems support multi-head video monitors with LVDS/touch screen or they can be headless. They offer standard I/O interfaces such as PMC/XMC, MiniPCI and ExpressMini, as well as custom I/O via Special Application Modules (SAM™) for highest efficiency I/O. BLUE systems are ideal for long-term defense programs requiring long roadmaps for technology upgrades, with limited, cooling and moderate-to-high CPU needs and limited 2D/3D video acceleration needs. These systems represent 12 years of background foundation in the industry and roadmaps to 2018.

Green Series

Designed with ultra-low-power-consuming CPUs and supporting devices to meet total system power usage of 10 watts or less, GREEN series products are placed in extremely lightweight packaging to keep system weight as low as 1 lb. or less. GREEN systems support the Intel® Atom™ processor for the best performance to power ratio of any other CPU, up to 2 Gbytes of RAM and basic system I/O with limited expansion for custom I/O functions. These systems support a single video monitor with optional LVDS/touch screen or can be headless for embedded applications. They are ideal for UAV and hand-held applications, where weight and heat are the primary considerations.

Orange Series

Representing a brand new concept in system engineering (pioneered by GMS) these systems are designed with Server Class chipsets for up to 64 Gbytes of ultra high performance memory, as well as Quad/Dual Core Xeon® processors. ORANGE systems provide the maximum thermal envelope of 100 watts with I/O interfaces such as PMC/XMC, MiniPCI and ExpressMini, as well as custom I/O via SAM™, and SamVideo™ for ultra-high-performance graphics. ORANGE systems are ideal for Headless Network servers or Virtual Machine systems hosting six to eight independent images of different operating systems, each with a specific mission. Each “Image” may have its own Bootable Drive or share one Drive Array, RAID or NAS. This new Virtual Machine Server concept, for which the ORANGE series is targeted, can save a significant amount of power/heat, weight, complexity and cost in installation, daily operation and in technology upgrades, without changing the software image!
