Science & Research

Processing high amounts of data is a common occurrence in scientific research. Research projects are highly demanding in terms of finding the right balance between performance and reliability. Elma accepts this challenge.

Elma’s expertise in packaging, cooling and remote system management ensures high performance computing and data storage requirements in science and research applications. Elma understands the latest technologies and standards and how to stretch their limits, which is why Elma collaborates with many of the world’s best-known research institutes and laboratories. While VMEbus based systems are still in regular use by research facilities, many are taking advantage of the technological features offered by AdvancedTCA, OpenVPX and more recently, an open standard tailored to the special needs of the Physics community, MicroTCA.4. This standard addresses some of the special I/O requirements commonly found in this arena.

Our expertise in enclosures designed for the right environmental requirements enables us to provide field-proven solutions. Best in class board level partners enable us to provide a tailored, application-ready system with the latest processing power, high performance I/O such as FPGAs and redundant secure storage.
