1. Durability of the rugged server
Sometimes, servers are needed in harsh conditions. They can be subject to any number of elements or disturbances that normal equipment simply can not withstand. In order to make sure your information is safe and accurate, find the equipment that has been approved for use in corrosive areas, such as water, wind, and salt, dirty areas, and spaces that receive shocks and vibrations.
2. Technical Readiness Level
If you are investing in high-quality equipment, you want to make sure it has been through all of the research and development possible. You don’t want to be the Guinea pig on which the limitations are tested. The higher the TRA number, the better, with 9 being the best option.
3. EMI Testing
Electromagnetic fields can wreak havoc on electronic equipment without the right protection. Ask your rugged server vendor for the EMI testing information, to ensure that the product you select can reliably function in the environment in which it needs to be placed. The testing will take into account the proper structure, installation process, and wiring.
4. Size options
Different applications require different rugged server needs. Not every rack mount server is the same size. Review what size options are available and make sure that they will not only perform well in the conditions you have, but are also of adequate size for the application.
5. Customization options
Chances are that your need for a rugged server already means you aren’t a typical customer with typical needs. You probably have a highly specific use for the product. Ask your provider about options for customizing the product to be exactly what you need, rather than trying to simply make something work.
