SSDs for Purpose-Built Computers
Purpose built systems are specialized computers designed to serve a specific application. Examples of purpose-built applications include computers for digital signage, robots, mobile vehicle applications, gaming, POS (Point of Sale), video surveillance, smart devices, and wearables to name a few.
In many cases these applications are too critical to just use any off-the-shelf SSD. The risk of using off-the-shelf SSDs is they don’t offer the customer any control over changing BOMs, product changes mid-production cycle, EOL (end-of-life) notifications and little to no visibility of upcoming product transitions.
Kingston’s Industrial SSDs were created due to a strong demand from system builders and OEMs who are creating “Purpose-Built” and “Embedded” systems for various vertical market applications.
