Equipped with a redundant suppliers of power supply unit, a hot swap RAID 1 subsystem and the latest power-saving multi-core professional processors, the Kontron KISS-2U is one of the smallest and fastest high-availability professional servers that has ever been built for long-lifecycle and robustly designed applications.

This new server from Kontron is attractive both for professional data server applications in air-conditioned server rooms and for embedded applications in automation, medical technology, security engineering, traffic engineering and building control technology. Thanks to the especially robust design of all its components, the Kontron KISS-2U exhibits high performance with minimal power loss. The redundant design of its memory subsystems and power supply unit allows the quiet (<35 dBA) Kontron KISS-2U server to significantly reduce the risk of overheating compared to conventional IT servers during longer heat waves with ambient temperatures of up to 50°C in the server room. With Kontron KISS-2U servers, thousands of server deaths like those that occurred during the heat waves in 2006 can be avoided.
