• SMART Modular Technologies targets kiosk deployers with new line of embedded PCs

0 Comments
FREMONT, Calif. — SMART Modular Technologies Inc., an independent manufacturer of memory modules, solid state drives, embedded computing subsystems and LCD-display products, has introduced a new line of "high-performance" embedded PCs using Intel Socket 775 CPUs.
 
The new line is called the XceedPC/Dx.
 
According to SMART Modular, the new line is RoHS-compliant and includes connectivity features needed for kiosk, ATM and digital-signage deployments. Supporting Windows XP Pro, XP and Embedded, as well as Linux 2.6, XceedPC/Dx is touted by the company for its compatibility.
 
Other features include a chassis that is approximately 35 percent smaller than a small form-factor PC and 80 percent smaller than a mini-tower desktop PC. Incorporating all front-panel I/O and power connectors into the design, the XceedPC/Dx products also simplify integration, installation and field maintenance, the company says.
 
"As deployments have grown from tens of units into thousands of platforms with an operational life surpassing five years, the disadvantages of using consumer PCs have become apparent," said Joe Kotas, SMART's vice president of business development for display and embedded products. "SMART's XceedPC/Dx products were specifically designed to address the major reliability issues encountered with the consumer PCs and provide a cost-effective alternative — an embedded PC platform with the performance, reliability and longevity our OEM customers need."
 
This initial release of the XceedPC/Dx family of embedded PCs includes three products with different CPU options. The XceedPC/D1 is based on the Intel Celeron D CPU, the XceedPC/D2 features the Intel Pentium 4 and Pentium D CPU, and the XceedPC/D3 supports the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU.
