WESTERVILLE, OHIO, June 4, 2015 – Tracewell Systems today announced it has selected Dell OEM Solutions as its partner for the Tracewell T-FX2, a converged infrastructure solution designed on the Dell PowerEdge FX architecture that provides modular storage and compute building blocks as well as unified system management capabilities in a single form factor that can be deployed in harsh and space-constrained environments, such as in the air, on land based vehicles or at sea.
Tracewell Systems has built solutions focused on the Federal business for more than 40 years and selected the Dell PowerEdge FX for its Tracewell T-FX2 small form-factor blade based solutions because of Dell’s solid technical reputation, rapid-refresh cycles, and relevant product roadmap. Additionally, Dell’s commitment to the U.S. Federal market, and willingness to invest technical resources and demo-gear into federal sales cycles to see its solutions succeed was important to Tracewell Systems.
With its short depth, higher operating temperatures and reduced power consumption, the Tracewell T-FX2 is an ideal solution for customers requiring virtualization, big data analytics, database systems or HPC clusters in environments where typical data center solutions are not viable.
The Tracewell T-FX2 is modified to reduce depth, increase cooling capabilities, and provides hard point rear mounting for mobile applications, such as those found in vehicles, aircraft or marine vessels. The 3U system combines the density and efficiencies of blades with the simplicity and cost advantages of rack-based systems and allows common management of up to 20 systems. Future expansion allows direct integration of full size, high power, PCIe cards. The Tracewell T-FX2 became available on June 1, 2015.
