Encryptor Provides Multi-Key Data Security EtherGuard HSE from 3e Technologies International (3eTI), an Ultra Electronics company that offers highly secure wireless networks, is designed to provide high speed data encryption for enhanced performance and reliability, providing impenetrable multi-key data security that will enable the ultimate in secure applications for DoD network operators. Designed to meet
FIPS-140-2 Level 2 validation and Common Criteria certification standards, EtherGuard HSE uses 3eTI’s proprietary DarkNode technology to uphold strict DoD-grade security and protect against Layer 2 vulnerabilities. The device’s higher throughput will improve secure network transmissions while simplifying management by allowing selective encryption according to traffic type. The military-grade encryption device maintains close to 700 Mbps high-speed encryption and exceptionally low latency at less than 500 microseconds. This will dramatically improve performance by operating at full speed without packet loss, regardless of whether bandwidth-intensive The Nucleus Server is the newest member of applications, or multiple users the Nucleus family of compact computers from and devices are involved. NextComputing. The Nucleus Server is a small pedestal server optimized for full-scale server deployments that require a mix of virtualization, highspeed networking and enterprise-level storage. Unlike traditional servers, the unit takes up only half the space, while offering performance on par with much larger systems. While enterprises are always looking Falcon Electric has released a threefor ways to reduce the cost of running their data module version of its 5000VA ED Series centers, there is a limit to how much space and power rugged uninterruptible power supplies can be freed up with traditional rack-mount systems. (UPS). Designed to protect sensitive military Many businesses that don’t need a full rack cabinet communications and electronic equipment often opt for tower servers, which can be easier in harsh environments against costly power to reconfigure or relocate when needed. However, problems, the ED Series is now available most tower servers are still quite large and moving in a modular form factor that signifithem more than occasionally is still not practical. cantly improves the ability for military Also, many tower servers lack redundant power or personnel to move and relocate the UPS. integrated storage on par with rack-mounted soluElectronic equipment is typically handtions. The Nucleus Server solves the shortcomings of carried through tight spaces onto and off traditional tower servers when it comes to reliability, of military vehicles, aircraft and vessels. portability and performance. For organizations that With the new three-module configuration, need access to server hardware from anywhere, the lifting the UPS is now within acceptable Nucleus Server offers the smallest form-factor available, including a convenient handle for easy portage.
Pedestal Server Optimized for Full-Scale Deployments
Three-Part Power Supplier Eases Relocation weight limits for a “one man” lift. In order to make a “single” 5000VA UPS out of three modules, the ED -4-5000RM-3/1-6-L-3’s three 2U modules each perform a specific role that, in concert with multiple power and communications cables, gives users the ability to slide the three 2U chassis into the equipment rack and then connect all of the functionality through the cables. The system consists of two UPS modules and a single module that contains the charger and other electronics. The end result is a UPS that, in terms of functionality and performance, mirrors Falcon’s model ED-5000RM-1 two 3U “double-module” UPS.
Rugged Computer Suited for Outdoor Environments
The Durabook R13C from GammaTech Computer passes Military Standard 810G certification for drop, shock and spill protection, plus explosive atmosphere, salt, fog and freeze/thaw standards. It is perfectly suited for a variety of applications, including law enforcement, military, homeland security,

field service, mining and mobile workers in any type of outdoor environment. Adding to its fully rugged character is its IP65 rating, which ensures that enclosed portions of the unit are completely protected against any contact with dust and water. Its magnesium alloy case is 20 times stronger than ABS plastic.
