The NAS solution consists of Fully Optimized Rugged Computer Equipment (FORCE) rugged storage server, RCS7450 network switch, small form factor rugged embedded computer and 19in rugged display.
These systems are integrated into a rugged transit case designed for mobile and tactical environments.
With end-to-end encryption and near-zero latency capabilities, the storage solution ensures secure, real-time data processing.
The FORCE rugged servers support tactical military deployments in volatile environments. The system can be configured with up to 12 different modules for high-speed communication and expanded storage capacity.
In June this year, Crystal Group achieved the milestone of delivering 15,000 rugged servers to the US Navy.
