Industrial Pcs And The End Of Reality

Yeah, I like to exaggerate

Yeah, I like to exaggerate. It's effective. It gets people's attention. If I had just written something or other about how commercially viable industrial PCs are, how many of you would bother to click through? I like to be seen and I like my work get an audience -- even if that's just three people a month. Yes, the age of computers has changed everything -- so what? So did the combustion engine and the nuclear bomb. But, a deal is a deal and I have to say something about industrial computers.

Industrial computers are hardcore PCs used by a variety of mega-corporations and military branches worldwide. They're not for the likes of you and me. It's one thing to have a mainframe for your corporation. It's another thing to need a interlaced series of mainframes connected together to deliver accurate, complex data streams to not only processing point, but processing point across the globe. You can't expect your average computer to get the job done, much less handle one of these permutations.

Forget about tomorrow and what it may bring. The age of the industrial PC is here and it's now. Computer engineers and manufacturers are being pushed more and more to provide a product that can withstand the rigors of military life, the monotony of the assembly line, and the integration of government databases. This means today's industrial mainframe has to be versatile and dependable.

Where does this leave innovation? The industrial age of computers has seen the development of the multi-slot portable computer, the rack-mount, and the panel mount computer. What do each of these variants do? Whatever the military, corporate, or government agencies want them to do. Ever wonder what drives the targeting systems of an M1 tank? Or the flight system of an F16 fighter jet? That's right: an industrial computer than can take a hit from a depleted shell and keep processing.

As you might expect, there's only a few industrial computer manufacturers active on the market today. They service a number of powerful, and secretive, companies around the world. This includes heavy hitters like Raytheon, GE, Telex, and even the US Army and Air Force. Advanced systems require advanced computer systems. Forget swinging by your local Best Buy to find one. No, you'll need online access, the means to purchase these computers, and in some cases, the clearance to own them.
