RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. – General Micro Systems Inc. in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., is introducing the ultra-rugged, naval-focused 1U and 2U Shorty 4 servers for surface warships, submarines, fast boats, unmanned aircraft, and crewed naval aircraft.
At 16-inches deep, the rugged servers mount in table-top, equipment-tray, sideways, or vertical orientations, or can be rack mounted in space-constrained naval applications where full-sized server racks are too large.
The Shorty 4 rackmount servers come with Intel's 4th generation Scalable Xeon CPUs, PCI Express Gen5, and DDR5 ECC memory, and are available in 1U and 2U versions.

Both servers use the GMS egg crate honeycomb-like design, which mechanically divides the server into rigid quadrants to resist flex to enhance the unit's shock and vibration performance.
Constructed from heavy-gauge steel or lightweight aluminum, as well as internal gussets and cross braces on internal structures, the servers can survive high shock and vibration.
Based on an extended ATX-sized motherboard, Shorty servers offer 16 DIMM slots (eight per CPU) DDR5 ECC memory; NVMe or SATA solid-state drives; as many as four 15-millimeter SSDs; dual 4-drive canisters support 7-millimeter SSDs; PCI Express Gen 5 buses; two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports; and 2U expansion slots.
