  • **EOL - APU 4 coming in Q2 2020** To have an operating system installed, you will need to include an appropriately sized SD card in your order
  • miniPCIe wireless cards do not include a pigtail or antenna

With a quad-core 1GHz processor and 4GB of RAM, plus a ton of features packed into the tiniest of spaces, the APU really is the most impressive professional-grade embedded fanless server ever.

With heaps of storage options (including support for a hard drive), 3 Gigabit ethernet ports, and built-in 3G/4G support, the sky really is the limit.

Here’s what you can do with an APU 2 server:

  • Manage all of your server tasks with ease – including firewalling, VPN routing, internet gateway or application serving – thanks to a powerful 1.0GHz quad-core AMD processor and up to 4GB of RAM
  • Significantly reduce electricity consumption with an energy-efficient server that uses less than 12W per board
  • Install your server in harsh environments, thanks to its robust design that ensures it can cope with industrial and remote locations
  • Have the freedom to design your server your way, with the capacity to run many different flavours of Linux, and your choice of rackmount or standalone enclosures
  • Connect your server to the world easily with three Gigabit ethernet ports per board, plus a serial port, 2 USB 3.0 ports and a SIM card slot
  • 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

The APU is ideal for you if:

  • You need a business-grade server with the performance to handle more than just basic network tasks
  • Your application really needs access to at least 2GB of RAM and preferably 4GB
  • You need something that takes up as little space as possible
  • You really need Gigabit ethernet
  • You only need up to three ethernet ports, and don’t want or need any more
  • You want redundancy in your internet connections
  • You want to store logs, use caching or other write-intensive applications, so you need a hard drive or solid state drive
  • You want to build an off-the-shelf super-sturdy network appliance for your clients
  • You want to colour-code your servers by function, coordinate with company branding or easily refer to “that little red box” during support calls

Get all the features you need in one single, small embedded single board computer with the awesomely feature-rich and fanless APU 2.
