A new Intel initiative for the channel
Many resellers and integrators know the situation all too well: you are already providing your customers with excellent desktop, notebook and server systems, but when faced with a request for a system with special requirements, such as ...
- Available unaltered for 5 years
- Protection levels (e.g., IP54)
- Special I/O ports
- Scalable performance in an identical system design
- No turning parts (such as ventilators)
- Top performance in the smallest spaces
... it has thus far not been easy to find suitable products in the market for that customer, with in-house solutions virtually impossible.
That is why Intel has launched the Embedded Building Blocks initiative. Its objective is to offer resellers and integrators the opportunity to enter the embedded computing market by providing standardized modules, the Embedded Building Blocks. Intel has brought together the prestigious companies TQ-Group, congatec and apranorm to realize the supply of top-of-theline, variable and cost-efficient building blocks.
