Themis Computer Announces NATO TEMPEST Certification of its Rugged Enterprise Servers
Themis’ 2RU and 3RU servers provide high performance and reliability in secured, mission-critical environments
FREMONT, California – November 13, 2008 – Themis Computer announced that its RES-22DCX and RES-32DCX servers were successfully tested for NATO TEMPEST certification without the use of an external enclosure. Themis’ Rugged Enterprise Servers (RES) 2RU and 3RU systems were selected for use in a surveillance program that requires TEMPEST Zone 2 certification. As a result of the successful testing and certification for compromising emanations (CE) conformity, these servers are qualified in for use within Facility Zone 2 deployments by the Federal Office for Information Security.
“We work closely with our customers and partners to design and build rugged computing systems that provide high quality, superior scalability, and reliability. Our servers are notably designed to run mission-critical applications in hostile operating environments,” said William Kehret, president of Themis Computer. “It should be reassuring to our OEM’s and system integrators, that in standard configurations our Rugged Enterprise Servers are able to meet the system level emission require-ments for Zone-2 TEMPEST, without recourse to an external rack enclosure,” Mr. Kehret added.
Themis’ 2RU and 3RU Intel Xeon Processor-Based Servers
Themis engineers its RES systems for maximum configurability with one or two Dual- or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors. The RES-22DCX and the RES-32DCX systems certified for Zone 2 use were configured with Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors.
Featuring multiple expansion slots, extensive high speed I/O, and multiple storage options, RES-22DCX and RES-32DCX systems offer users versatile configuration and system expansion options. The addition of commercially available, off the shelf networking cards, graphics, I/O, peripherals and other value-added options provides users even greater flexibility in meeting current and future system requirements. Designed for operation use in harsh operating environments, Themis RES systems incorporate advanced thermal and mechanical design features including; dual, redundant, hot
