The TRC2008 2U Rackmount Computer is a ruggedized Extended ATX (EATX) motherboard based computing solution optimized for deployment where commercial, off the shelf server chassis do not provide sufficient chassis durability or rigidity. The chassis sports integrated features that increase overall strength and resiliency while not impeding system maintenance or performance, like the removable cross brace. An example of a Trenton Systems customer-driven computing solution, we collaborated on the TRC2008 with a customer who had specific ruggedness and space constraints, and engineered a system intended to meet but designed to exceed their expectations.
