Intergraph announced a Linux-compatible workstation designed to withstand punishing environmental conditions for military, industrial, and marine applications. The sealed, solid-state TD-R 7X11R-S series rack-mount workstation supports an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and up to 4GB of DDR2 memory, and offers dual gigabit… Ethernet ports.

The TD-R 7X11R-S is completely sealed to prevent air, water, dust, and other contaminants from entering, and the aluminum and steel chassis provides “high strength and extreme durability,” says Intergraph. The workstation is claimed to meet or exceed Dept. of Defense specifications for shock, vibration, humidity and temperature (up to 140 deg. F), and is targeted primarily at naval ships, factories, and oil rigs.

Built with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, the TD-R 7X11R-S comes standard with an Intel Core 2 Duo clocked at 2.2GHz, as well as 2GB DDR2 of sealed memory, expandable to 4GB, says the company. The system is said to include Intel's GMA X3100 integrated graphics, which can access up to 384MB of system memory when required.

The TD-R 7X11R-S is equipped with bays for up to four 2.5-inch SATA hard disk drives (HDDs), as well as up to 16GB of solid state drive (SSD) storage. The workstation provides dual gigabit Ethernet ports, four front-facing USB 2.0 ports, and options for additional I/O, says the company. A sealed door offers front-panel access for power, USB, a video maintenance port, and power/drive indicators, while rear connections are provided for power, video, and expansion I/O.
