- Keep using your server, year after year, without needing to replace or upgrade it
- Install your server in harsh environments, thanks to its rugged design that ensures it can cope with industrial and remote locations
- Create a highly-polished, business-grade solution in a stylish enclosure that’s light yet strong, and also dust and splash resistant
- Have the freedom to design your server your way, with the capacity to run many different flavours of Linux, and your choice of slimline, “XL”, vehicle-mount, outdoor or rackmount enclosures
