The SV-1200, also known as the “Gemini”, is unlike any other server that is currently on the market. The Gemini is contained within a 1U chassis that holds two completely independent servers complete with their own power supply. These removable servers allow the end user to extract one server while active programs are still running on the remaining server without interruption. The Gemini is ideal for use in deployable situations where the product’s compact size, high density computing, minimized size, weight, and power make for a highly portable, rugged and reliable system.
