Solid State Drives
With years of experience in implementing SSDs into rugged embedded computers and servers, General Micro Systems (GMS) regularly provides vendor-neutral technical guidance to developers whose systems require non-volatile embedded or removable drives. In this paper, we examine the differences in SSD options and highlight key criteria that should be considered when choosing an appropriate embedded, flash memory-based SSD device to meet application-specific requirements.

Mission Computing
Our Mission Computing Systems are targeted for applications where traditional VPX/VME/cPCI ATR packaging (card cage, power supply, fan trays, etc.) can not be considered due to size, weight, cost or other limiting factors. They also pack the highest performance with the lowest power consumption in the smallest package possible, making them a responsible choice for space constrained applications. All of our systems use only embedded devices to provide long life cycles, and to withstand harsh environmental conditions for MIL/Aero applications - meeting MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-1275D, MIL-STD-901D, MIL-STD-461E, DO-160D and IP67, to name a few. -
Advanced Servers
Our Advanced Servers are designed and developed from the ground up to be ultra-rugged. Offering rugged rack mount servers that are fully sealed and conduction- or convection-cooled, GMS delivers never-before seen options in 1U and 2U short-rack chassis. Leveraging modular GMS computing engines with multiple CPU options–including Intel® Xeon® D and Intel® Xeon® E5 v4—GMS rugged servers are highly configurable, upgradeable and long-life maintainable. -
Advanced Network
Our Advanced Network rugged appliances offer the most cost effective, and ultra-high-density network products on the market. GMS’ routers/switches are available in several different types of packaging for a variety of applications and industries. They can be fully integrated within a GMS small form factor computer system, may operate as stand-alone, or can be packaged for rack mount solutions Fully sealed and conduction cooled, these products employ MIL-style connectors to provide a rugged router/switch solution that can be deployed in the harshest environments. -
Single Board Computers
Since the inception of General Micro Systems in 1979, GMS’ focus has been on the innovation and design of single board computers (SBCs). Over the last 37 years, GMS has developed and shipped more SBC products than any other board level supplier in the world! GMS joined VME International Trade Association (VITA) in 1984 and is currently VITA’s most senior member. We have played a key role in the industry's development of new technology and are considered by most, including the competition, the SBC experts.
