Exploring the Types of Chassis
Atrenne offers a comprehensive range of chassis solutions, each designed to meet the specific requirements of different applications. The company’s most popular chassis types include:
Rackmount Chassis Enclosures
Features
Rackmount chassis enclosures are built for installation within standardized racks found in defense platforms, data centers, network closets, and server rooms. Available in various “U” sizes, they accommodate a wide range of equipment configurations. These enclosures feature exceptional sturdiness, ventilation, and cable management, making them ideal for mission-critical servers, networking equipment, and data storage systems.
Applications
Rackmount chassis enclosures are the preferred choice for high-density IT environments that require optimal space utilization and organized management. They are extensively used in data centers, colocation facilities, and enterprise server rooms.
Lab Development Chassis
Features
Designed for flexibility and accessibility, lab development chassis enclosures are perfect for prototyping, testing, and development environments. They typically include removable panels for easy access to internal components for modifications and configurations, and may feature built-in power supplies and cooling systems to streamline the development process.
Applications
Lab development chassis enclosures are ideal for research institutions, universities, and development labs where frequent hardware modifications and customizations are necessary.
ATR (Air Transport Rack) Chassis
Features
ATR chassis enclosures comply with specific military standards, making them suitable for rugged environments and mission-critical applications. They are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and EMI/RFI interference, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.
Applications
ATR chassis enclosures are commonly used in defense, aerospace, and space applications that demand exceptional durability and consistent performance under challenging conditions.
Small Form Factor (SFF) Chassis
Features
Small Form Factor (SFF) chassis enclosures are compact and lightweight, ideal for space-constrained environments or applications where portability is important. Despite their small size, they can accommodate essential computer components such as motherboards, processors, and storage drives.
Applications
SFF chassis enclosures are well-suited for edge computing and workstations in environments with limited space.
Selecting the right chassis enclosure is a critical decision that impacts the performance, longevity, and user experience of electronic systems. Atrenne asserts that the company offers more than just a variety of chassis options, with an expert team to assist in choosing the ideal enclosure.
In addition to standard chassis solutions, Atrenne provides a range of customization options to meet unique application requirements. The company can modify chassis designs to incorporate specific features, accommodate non-standard components, and ensure seamless integration within users’ existing infrastructure.
