List of Rugged Server Manufacturers [2020 Update]
by Yazz Krdzalic on Aug 13, 2019 10:42:16 AM
Honesty is the best policy. Most (if not all) companies in this list are Trenton Systems' customers, competitors, or both.
We'd be lying if we said we don't want to be considered as your first and only choice for rugged servers.
So, let me give you our differentiators quickly:
If you're looking for truly Made in the USA rugged servers, Trenton Systems is the only (as far as we know) rugged server manufacturer that designs, manufactures, and assembles rugged servers and components entirely in the USA for the military, industrial, and commercial sector.
That's right, we design and make our own boards. This means we have a tight grip on our supply chain, are able to customize your BIOS, hold everything to strict revision control guidelines, and much more. Take a look at our products page for more info and feel free to give us a call at (770) 287-3100 with any questions.
The purpose of this list is strictly informational
As much as we'd like to be a perfect fit for everyone, at times and due to various reasons, we're simply not. No hard feelings! We will refer you to one of the great companies below and hope that you'll keep us in mind for future programs/projects.
