 Advantech's
PCI-6771 PCI single board computer is being used by a major Japanese
manufacturer to help capture a share in the lucrative mini server
market. With its compact size, fast PCI bus speeds, ability to
use Pentium® III processors up to 850* MHz and ease of installation
and use, the PCI-6771 integrated well into the server application
and aligns well with the business needs of the manufacturer and
their target customers.
Bookshelf-sized,
Extremely Powerful
The mini server
fits the needs of the SOHO market and small enterprise market
with its all in one functionality. Mini servers can also be strategically
integrated into large corporate networks, acting as groupware
servers, web servers or providing firewall capabilites. The portability
of these mini servers is critical, as is the ease of use and flexibility
to be used as a stand alone-server or integrated into a larger
network.
Proven
Industrial Reliability, Expandable, Flexible
 This
Japanese manufacturer chose Advantech's PCI-6771 SBC and PCA-6104P4
backplane for this application for many reasons. First, the industrial
grade construction and proven reliability of the SBC, backplane
and component set, gave them the confidence their product could
operate in the most demanding conditions. Next, the PCI-6771 SBC
and backplane could be easily integrated into their chassis. For
size, power, flexibility and reliability, the board solution fit
their needs well. This also allowed them to reduce costs and decrease
their time to market. Also, the ease of use of the PCI bus configuration
answered their customers' needs perfectly. With the PCI bus, off
the shelf add-on cards can easily be added. For example, extra
ethernet ports can be easily added. This reduces end user costs
and increases flexibilty. This particular company chose to use
a Linux operating system as their standard offer. However, all
major operating systems are supported. The familar PCI bus the
ability to handle all standard operating systems makes installation,
expansion and upgrade, easy. This factor is especially important
in SOHO and small enterprise applications, leveraging standard
PC-based knowledge and skills.
