Kontron has extended its family of ultra quiet KISS industrial servers with 1U, 2U and 4U versions that support up to the Intel® Core™ 2 Quad processor as well as offering advanced remote management features.

The new ultra quiet (<35 dB) Kontron KISS PCI 760 industrial servers offer scalable CPU performance ranging from single core and dual core Intel® processors up to the Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q6700 running at 2.66 GHz.

In addition to outstanding performance, these latest members of Kontron’s KISS family of industrial servers also come with built–in, comprehensive Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) 3.0 remote management engine that offers enhanced security and remote management for easier maintenance, higher system availability and, therefore, reduced total costs of ownership. System managers benefit from Intel® AMT 3.0 because they can remotely carry out tasks such as installation of a new OS or setting BIOS parameters without the need for additional remote management hardware or an on-site presence. If there is an operating system failure, managers can run diagnostics, update patches and reboot the system via the network from a central service system within a few minutes. These features make the Kontron KISS 1U, 2U and 4U servers ideal for companies that use distributed rack servers in comparatively harsh and difficult to reach environments. For example, railway operators and facility companies (gas, water, electricity) as well as operators of traffic lights, toll collection systems and weather stations. Large companies with distributed shop floor systems will also benefit from these remote management features.
