Description
The Swift is a rugged embedded computer that combines a powerful processor platform with a rich selection of on-board I/O in a compact package. It includes soldered-down high-speed NVMe SSD storage and up to 32 GB of error-correcting RAM. Swift is an excellent solution when a compact, high-performance package is required in a harsh environment.
The Swift is powered by Intel®’s 9th generation “Coffee Lake Refresh” hex-core Xeon®-E processor.
On-board I/O includes two USB 3.1 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, four RS-232/422/485 serial ports, two SATA III ports, one 1GbE port, one 2.5GbE port, and two mDP++ high-performance video ports. Plug-in expansion is supported by two M.2 sockets, and a Mini PCIe socket.
In addition to operating at extended temperatures, the Swift meets MIL-STD-202H specifications for shock and vibration. Latching connectors prevent cable detachment issues in hostile environments.
VersaLogic’s 10-year product life support programs ensure long-term availability. This avoids expensive upgrades and migrations from short, disposable lifecycle products.
