Unique Features

Dual 10-Gigabit Ethernet for Virtual Machine

The Intel® Ethernet Connection X557 family is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper networking Physical Layer (PHY) for workstation, server, and embedded designs that have critical space and power constraints. HORUS200 equipped with dual 10GbE LAN, allowing system to run under high-speed and stable transmission.

Comparing to general 1GbE LAN, 10GbE LAN provides key improvements in terms of bandwidth, latency, scalability, reliability and application performance. Moreover, 10GbE LAN is possible to support Virtual Machine application, which is a considerable function for parallel working system. Allowing multiple operation environments which are isolated from one another, yet through the same server, Virtual Machine enable several tasks to be done in one server simultaneously, suitable for limited space or portable control and command center.

MIL-STD-1275/704 Power Supply with Voltage Transient Protections

HORUS200 is designed with MIL-STD-1275/704, protecting against vehicle/aircrafts voltage surges, spikes and transients, and even electromagnetic interference. This characteristic is well suited for the strictest military requirement and deliver optimal performance in harsh conditions.
The GAIA Hi-Rel DC/DC CONVERTER it also provides under voltage Lockout (UVLO), Output over Current Protection (OCP), Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP) and Over Temperature Protection (OTP) to made stability and safety.

Swappable CMOS Battery

Generally, to exchange the battery from a rugged solution is complicated and has the possibility to affect the original function of water and dust resistance. HORUS200 has an easy swappable battery tray allowing users to directly replace. A coin-cell battery can be seen when pulling the tray fully out of the computer; users just need to change with CR2032 battery and push the tray back and lock screw, then the replacement is completed.

Dual Removable SSD ( Solid-state Disk )

The dual removable SSD featuring with easy-handle, quick and easy swap for maintenance and replacement. Providing compact self-contained system to store and retrieve data, removable and ruggedized SSD supports HORUS200 to suitably apply in military and ground vehicle systems, especially for command and control center when high flexibility and mobility is needed or for sudden evacuation.

Hardware Secure Erase

Under emergency situation, when written data is required to be erased immediately, a Secure Erase Button is extremely indispensable. Instant Erase is a particular feature for SED ( Self Encryption Drive ) drive. It's faster than Quick Erase to make all written data invalid. The encryption and decryption is controlled by an AES key on the path; once the AES key is replaced by a new one, the data becomes unrecognizable.

MIL-STD-810G designed for high environmental adaptation

HORUS200 is designed to meet MIL-STD-810G standard. MIL-STD-810G standard is considered the upmost principle, which guarantees the system achieves superior quality and stability when operate under various environment, especially applied in military and ground vehicle system, which can possibly run through unpredictable terrain or condition, causing sudden shock and occasional vibration.
