I have been using ESA 486 motherboards for around ten years. The first time I used their motherboards, we were building servers and computers for a phone room in Los Angeles. For industrial systems, it’s difficult to find another company that comes close to ESAs reliability and ease of use. ESA has grown tremendously since I first used their 486 motherboards. One of the leading reasons for this growth has been the production of Legacy 486 motherboards as well as the development of cutting edge Industrial Systems.
ESAs configurable industrial systems are to the point where you merely have to name the function your industrial systems will be performing and ESA will deliver function specific servers for your database, storage, the web and even virtualization. They let you choose the performance level of your industrial systems as well. You can select the performance level of your custom industrial systems from Enterprise, Mainstream or Value.
The final result is a system custom tailored to your project. ESAs industrial systems workstations, continue to be among the toughest, longest lasting in the industry. Their built-in fingerprint reader drawer completely eliminates troublesome loose wires and hanging hardware, which makes for a very clean installation. The biggest advancement I’ve seen since working with their 486 motherboards, is the embedded motherboards. They are perfect when the space for your intended application is limited. ESAs embedded motherboards are offered in three formats 5.25”, 3.5”, and Mini-ITX and come with a unique mix of features.
Their Embedded motherboards are Ultra Low Voltage fan-less with optional CPU choices. The fan-less architecture serves to eliminate noise and it helps to extend the life of their industrial systems by attracting less debris and dust. They are so small they can mount in their hand-sized chassis or directly into your industrial systems. They also support dual display for VGA as well as LVDS. ESAs embedded motherboards are perfect for industrial automation, Kiosk, Point Of Sale, ticketing, and many small equipment applications.
ESA has carved out a very nice niche for itself since I first used their 486 motherboards. ESA is the leading company specializing in 486 industrial motherboards in the legacy Baby AT format. This has saved countless Fortune 500 companies the expensive redesign of their legacy industrial systems. By holding down configuration design changes while at the same time adding important updates.
This allows the thousands of companies who still use computers running the legacy Baby AT format to install a new TF486 motherboard enabling them to utilize updated hard drives, disk on chip, watchdog timers, seven ISA slots, one shared PCI/ISA slot, plus an expanded range of CPUs. ESA has become the leader in cutting edge and legacy industrial systems. If you have industrial systems in your business that utilize the legacy 486 motherboards, you may be able to extend their life by contacting ESAPCsolutions.com, it could save you valuable capital.
