ALIX 2

Build an embedded server that won’t let you down

Craft your perfect solution and then just leave it to sit in a corner, doing its thing, year after year without fail, with the tiny, low-power, fanless ALIX 2 server.

Here’s what you can do with an ALIX 2:

  • Handle all of your network tasks comfortably, thanks to a sturdy 500MHz AMD processor and 256MB of RAM
  • Save space on your desk or in your server cabinet with a tiny server that has a footprint just slightly bigger than a CD case – and you can even stand it on its side if you need to
  • Save space in your server rack with a rackmount server that’s only 1RU high and a tiny 190mm or 250mm deep

  • Get ready access to the Compact Flash card, with a board that slides in and out easily, thanks to the extruded design
  • Create a highly-polished, professional solution in a stylish, powdercoated bookshelf case, in a great range of colours
  • Colour-code your servers by function, coordinate them with your company’s branding, or simply make it easy to refer to “that blue box”
