VersaLogic has introduced a new family of rugged embedded computers with high-performance Intel® Xeon® processors.

The Swift is the newest member of VersaLogic’s line of rugged computers, featuring Intel’s “Coffee Lake Refresh” 9th-generation Xeon processor with up to 32GB of error-correcting memory, fast on-board NVMe SSD storage, and TPM 2.0 security. 

The error-correcting memory makes it indispensable for mission-critical applications and aeronautics applications at higher altitudes.

Swift is based on Intel’s Xeon-E processor, which features 6 cores and Hyper-Threading. When combined with up to 32 GB ECC memory and soldered-down 128 GB NVMe fast read/write storage, the Swift becomes a powerful tool for processing at the edge. 

The Swift includes several built-in interfaces including 2.5GB Ethernet, USB 3.1, serial ports, I2C, GPIO, analog inputs (ADC) and Mini DisplayPort output. SATA III connectivity is provided for applications requiring off-board storage capability. To support additional on-board expansion, the Swift features one Mini PCIe slot, and two M.2 slots. These expansion sites can support functions such as 5G cellular, AI accelerators, GPS, flash data storage, Analog & Digital IO, additional data storage (SSD), display interfaces, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet.

The Swift is a compact solution, measuring only 95 x 125 x 41 mm (3.7 x 4.9 x 1.6″), providing Xeon-E performance for space-limited applications. In addition, the Swift is designed and tested for full industrial temperature operation (-40° to +85°C) and meets MIL-STD-202H specifications for shock and vibration.

Swift is designed for high reliability and long-term availability (10+ year typical production lifecycle). VersaLogic’s proven design expertise makes the Swift a rock-solid solution for standard and environmentally-harsh applications.

The Swift is customizable, even in low OEM quantities. Customization options include conformal coating, revision locks, custom labeling, customized testing, and customized screening.

Len Crane, VersaLogic’s President, said; “The Swift is ideal for intensive processing, particularly in applications with security concerns or limited communication bandwidth that preclude sending raw data back to a data center.”
