Engineered for the Edge: Delivering Mission-Critical Data in Multi-Domain Operations

In the rapidly evolving landscape of multi-domain operations, the need for resilient, high-performance computing and networking solutions is more critical than ever. From my experience as an operator, as missions become more complex and the environments more challenging, the demand for compact, powerful, and secure technology is paramount. That’s where DTECH’s Mission-engineered products come into play—designed specifically for the edge, where every second and every byte of data counts.

Superior Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP): Efficiency Meets Power

One of the key differentiators of our edge computing solutions is their superior size, weight, and power (SWaP) characteristics. Traditional systems often struggle with bulk and inefficiency, but our innovative chassis-less design and patented raised angle connectors significantly reduce the overall system size, weight, and setup complexity. This means our products are easier to transport, increase uptime, and provide more adaptability to meet the diverse needs of field operations.

Take, for instance, our M3X line—an exemplar of efficient design. Measuring just 8.9 x 5.75 x 2.7 inches, the M3X is 20% smaller than its predecessors, yet it delivers unmatched performance, with our compute modules containing Xeon Processors, 128GB of RAM and up to 15TB of storage. Its small form factor allows certain modules to fit conveniently in a backpack, making it ideal for mobile operations. Despite its compact size, the M3X line offers automatic module detection and cableless connections, ensuring that mission-critical tasks can be executed with minimal setup time.

Beyond just size, DTECH’s engineering processes prioritize operational superiority. The advanced airflow setup in our systems prevents overheating, ensuring reliability even in extreme conditions. With a better power-to-size ratio, our equipment not only performs better but also offers long-term durability—essential for sustained operations in the field.

Ultimate Performance at the Edge: Power Where You Need It Most

In edge environments, I’ve learned that performance isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity. Our Fusion eHPC (Edge High Performance Compute) product is engineered to deliver ultimate performance where needed most, powered by the latest modular AMD processing, Cisco networking, and fast, user-replaceable, high-capacity storage options. Whether dealing with power-constrained environments or dirty power scenarios, our systems are designed to maintain top-tier performance without compromise.

Our solutions are Red Hat 8 and 9 certified, VMware Certified, supporting ESXi, 7.0, and 8.0, along with VSAN, ensuring seamless virtualization risk management. With support for network operations up to 25Gbps, our products deliver the high-speed networking capability that is essential for real-time data processing and communication.

Equipped with AMD and Nvidia Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), up to 512GB of RAM, and up to 8 storage bays, our systems are built for the future—offering powerful AI/ML and GPU processing capabilities right at the edge. This makes them ideal for data-intensive tasks, from advanced analytics to real-time decision-making.

Moreover, we stand by the reliability of our equipment with an industry-leading 5-year warranty. The combination of low SWaP designs and robust performance not only reduces transportation and maintenance costs but also ensures that our customers have the peace of mind they need during critical missions.

Robust Cybersecurity Compatibility: Security Without Compromise

In today’s threat landscape, cybersecurity isn’t optional—it's mandatory. Our products have robust cybersecurity features, ensuring resilience against evolving cyber threats. Our solutions always align with the latest security standards by incorporating cutting-edge technology from industry leaders like Cisco, VMware, Microsoft, and Red Hat.

Engineered to maintain security, our systems offer integrity through advanced build automation features, improving configuration accuracy and consistency and reducing time to field. Each configuration is error-checked and logged in HTML files, viewable directly in a web browser, adding an extra layer of transparency and control.

For those working within DISA environments, our solutions offer full support with Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), ensuring compliance with the highest security standards. Additionally, our onboard decryption devices, TPM, and scaling servers provide enhanced security capabilities, differentiating our solutions with specific certification authorities.

We also take a proactive approach to future security needs. With collaboration from industry partners, our products incorporate zero-trust software and utilities, aligning with the Department of Defense CIO’s mandate to implement zero-trust capabilities by 2027. This forward-thinking approach ensures that our customers are secure today and prepared for tomorrow's threats.

In a world where every operation is mission-critical, our solutions are engineered for the edge—delivering powerful computing and networking capabilities where they’re needed most. With superior SWaP characteristics, ultimate performance, and robust cybersecurity features, our solutions are built to meet the demands of multi-domain operations. When you choose our technology, you’re not just choosing a product—you’re choosing reliability, efficiency, and peace of mind in the most challenging environments – now that’s Mission-engineered.

Built for the edge with powerful computing and networking capabilities to deliver mission-critical data for your multi-domain operations, DTECH Mission-engineered benefits include:

  • Superior size, weight, and power
  • Ultimate performance at the edge
