Kontron has announced a new server touted as “the ideal virtualization platform for industrial applications.” The KISS 4U KTQ45 features up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, seven drive bays, four PCI slots, and PCI Express slots, the company says.

Kontron’s KISS 4U KTQ45 is said to be aimed at “computing-intensive embedded applications such as test and measurement, image processing, process control and video surveillance.” The device is built around the company’s previously released KTQ45/ATXE motherboard, designed to support either of two 45nm processors Intel introduced last year while promising seven-year availability for both. The Core 2 Duo E8400 is a dual-core CPU with a 3.0GHz clock speed, 65-Watt TDP, 6MB second-level cache, and 1333MHz FSB (frontside bus). The Core 2 Quad Q9400 is a quad-core CPU with a 2.66GHz clock speed, 95-Watt TDP, 6MB second-level cache and a 1333Mhz FSB.

I posted this article to remind us to think outside the box, it’s all to easy to think about virtualization in terms of virtualizing a DL380G6 or a Dell 1950, but there are other possibilities for different diverse markets and here’s an example, do check it out, I’m off to read up more.
