Habey USA Announces PRO-6820 Fanless Core i7 System

[btarunr]

HABEY USA, a leading manufacturer of embedded computer and an Associate member of the Intel Intelligent Systems Alliance, announces the PRO-6820. This unique fanless system boasts heavy processing power in a rugged & reliable chassis. With 6 Gigabit ethernet ports, this system can perform a variety of different tasks. It is suitable for generic network applications, but due to the powerful CPU and rugged design, it is ideal for outdoor digital video surveillance using network cameras, but of course the applications don't stop there.



The QM77 chipset allow a range of processors from the 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge i3 processors up to the Ivy Bridge 3rd Generation i7 processors. Additional expansion includes two mini-PCIe ports as well as four COM ports. The mini-PCIe expansion allows for installation of a Wifi module, or even a 3G/4G module to be used in conjunction with the SIM slot. There are a host of other impressive features this system has to offer. Please download the datasheet or visit our website for more details. A full release will be put out within a few weeks to once the PRO-6820 is available for sale.

Wow, six ports. Geofrancis will love it!

interesting how i7 could run just with those fins and fan-less 100%

He isn't the only one.

Mobile variants runs pretty cool compared to their desktop counterparts, even the T series CPUs.

Oops how could I forget our resident Sys Admin?

Yeah, the "mobile" part is key.

Custom hardcore Linux for routing, but not very efficient.

Or

Etthernet LAN security camera system, but still not really efficient, and then the serial goes unused...


I see a lot of applications for it, but not one in specific that really makes enough sense to justify it unless its really cheap, and for some reason I don't think it will be. Seems more a like a engineer somewhere had a specific application they needed it for and a hard on to spend the money.

Same throughput, easier configuration IMHO.

Only upside to this device may be higher throughput due to more processing capability, but that is even questionable.

That case design is pretty sexy and I like the colored heatsink. They need to sell that case on its own for DIYers.

actually the cost on the sonic is way overpriced for what it does, could get something for the same features for half price on advantech / logicsupply... $1100??

Closest I see is a blade server with Untangle for $649

I have used Sonicwall, I may try Untangle on a spare PC and see what it does here first.

However it looks like http://www.untangle.com/store/configurator/ costs per year and more than the cost of a Sonciwall.

I suppose if you are forced to run high bandwidth applications with high security the option with the 9 port and untangle may get you more, but that would be a very select few applications.
