- Editor's comments:- if you look at Chassis Plans's website you'll see lots
of racks for SBCs - but the storage racks are harder to find. This is because
(as thir website explains) they are a
"relational"
business - not a "component reseller" and work closely with
customers to provide solutions to their industrial computing requirements.
As
their Chief Technologist, David Lippincott explained "We have a fairly
broad range of rackmount systems with high drive counts used as NAS, data farms,
and stand-alone data processing for large data sets such as military image
processing and flight simulation verification."
They've been a
fast growing company (151 on the 2006 Inc. 500 List and 1st in the category of
Computer and Electronics.) They're so busy they can't put everything on their
website. But here's an example of a datasheet for a
rugged 8U rackmout
RAID system with 40 hot-swap 3.5" drive carriers - which should give
you some idea of their capability.

reasons for this.
The product which you carefully qualified may
not be identical to the one that's going into your production line for a
variety of reasons... ...read the article | |
