A Compact Server for Real-World Operations

Small businesses and industrial operations often need local computing and storage without the cost, size, and complexity of a traditional server room.

The Ketron Industrial Edge Server provides a compact alternative for applications that require:

• Local file storage

• Network file sharing

• Data backup

• Video and surveillance recording

• Industrial data collection

• Local databases

• Application hosting

• Edge AI processing

• Remote monitoring

• Local network services

Its compact form factor allows it to be installed close to the equipment, users, or data source instead of relying entirely on cloud services or a large rack-mounted server.

​

Expandable Storage

Add the Storage You Need

The base system provides high-speed NVMe storage for the operating system and applications, while the optional external drive-bay enclosure provides additional storage capacity.

Configure the system with additional SATA hard drives or SSDs according to your application requirements.

​

Possible configurations

Base System

NVMe SSD
For Windows/Linux, applications, and high-speed processing.

Expanded Storage

NVMe + additional SATA storage
For local file storage, databases, backups, and application data.

Large-Capacity Storage

Multiple hard drives or SSDs
For applications requiring increased local storage capacity.

The motherboard platform provides 2 × M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe interfaces and 2 × SATA III interfaces, with RAID 0/1 support.

Actual storage capacity and RAID configuration depend on the selected drive-bay enclosure and installed drives.

​

Why a Fanless Industrial Server?

Traditional desktop and small-business servers often depend on mechanical cooling fans.

The Ketron approach uses a fanless industrial computing platform designed to dissipate heat through the enclosure.

​

Fanless Cooling

No CPU cooling fan means fewer moving parts and reduced mechanical maintenance.

​

Quiet Operation

Suitable for offices, control rooms, laboratories, and other environments where low acoustic noise is desirable.

​

Industrial Construction

The aluminum enclosure provides mechanical protection while also functioning as part of the thermal management system.

​

Continuous Operation

Designed for applications requiring reliable computing and local services over extended operating periods.

​

Compact Deployment

Install the server close to the equipment, network, cameras, or users without requiring a conventional server rack.

​

Designed for Small Business

The Ketron Industrial Server can provide local computing and storage for businesses that don't need a large rack-mounted server.

​

Small Office

Centralized file storage, document sharing, backup, and local applications.

​

Professional Office

Local database applications, shared storage, backup systems, and business applications.

​

Retail & Commercial

Point-of-sale support, local data storage, video recording, and network services.

​

Engineering Office

CAD/project file storage, engineering applications, data processing, and backup.

​

Remote Office

Compact local computing and storage where a full server room isn't practical.

​

​

Designed for Industrial Operations

The same platform can also operate as an industrial edge server close to the equipment generating the data.

​

Industrial Data Collection

Collect and store data from machines, sensors, PLCs, and industrial networks.

​

Video Surveillance

Store and process video locally for security and monitoring applications.

​

Edge AI

Run local AI inference and data processing without sending every workload to the cloud.

​

Machine Monitoring

Collect production and equipment data for monitoring, analysis, and reporting.

​

Industrial IoT

Act as a local computing and data-storage platform between industrial equipment and cloud services.

​

Remote Operations

Provide local computing and storage at remote or distributed operating locations.

​

Local Data. Local Processing. Less Dependence on the Cloud.

Many applications generate large amounts of data.

Sending everything to the cloud can introduce:

• Network dependency

• Recurring cloud storage costs

• Increased latency

• Bandwidth requirements

• Data privacy concerns

The Ketron Industrial Edge Server allows selected data to remain and be processed locally.

Capture → Process → Store → Analyze

This can be particularly useful for industrial monitoring, video surveillance, machine vision, and edge AI applications.

​

​

Optional Drive-Bay Enclosure

Expand Your Local Storage

For customers requiring more storage than the main computer can provide, Ketron can pair the Industrial Edge Server with an additional drive-bay enclosure.

The enclosure can be configured for:

• 2.5-inch SATA SSDs

• 2.5-inch hard drives

• Larger-capacity local storage

• Application-specific storage configurations

This provides a flexible architecture where the computing system and mass storage can be sized according to the application.
