area where we differentiate ourselves is electrical engineering. We take silicon chips and design them into processing boards and backplane fabric boards that deliver enterprise-class performance with low latency, and we work with chipset vendors to make sure their firmware is aligned to edge environments.
“ The second area is ruggedization. If a system is going to operate in the desert, or in mud, rain, salt, and fog, it must withstand those environments and handle different types of power. Because we use the latest high-performance chipsets, heat dissipation has become one of the biggest issues we deal with.”
OSS was an early mover in liquid cooling for the edge, fielding hundreds of ruggedized direct-to-chip systems and developing full-immersion systems, where processing hardware is submerged in a
