Intequus Appliance Engineering Product Development

The uses of Appliances are rapidly growing within the Networking and Communications industries for two primary reasons:

• IT professionals want software products that do not require additional resources for hardware sourcing and integration
• Varied hardware platforms and related compatibility issues make it difficult to provide world-class service and support
• Continuity of product and rev control.

Networking and Communication software providers that use appliances in their go to market strategy are overwhelmed by a myriad of potential platforms. 

• Which ones will provide the engineering stability required? 
• Will there be product change notices when hardware and firmware changes are made? 
• What about the product reliability and support?
• How can I dedicate my valuable engineering resources to the research, compatibility evaluation, and branding design activity?
• What type of upgrade path do we have?

Intequus has these answers.

The most important advantage with an Intequus appliance is the product stability and revision control.  The Intequus Engineering staff carefully reviews the selection of each component within the appliance to assure there is continued availability with extended life cycles over typical commercial servers.  Intequus also provides formal change notices with flexible supply chain solutions to provide ample time for compatibility testing and analysis. 

Intequus has extensive technical expertise to offer pre-engineered appliances with accurate thermal solutions.  This experience comes from successfully developing dozens of appliance products for the market’s leading software providers.  In addition to a fast time to market, these appliances provide:

• Cost competitive solutions
• Compatibility verification for components and operating systems
• Thermal engineered solutions in accordance with Intel standards
• Acoustic engineering for reduced fan noise
• Packaging solutions for parcel shipment
• Branding solutions

Intequus can quickly customize these appliances with enclosure modifications, custom bezels, silk screening and painting.  These efforts can provide a more unique appearance to support product branding.  Enclosure modifications can be completed within 4-6 weeks while silk screening and painting are implemented within 2 weeks.

Agency Certifications

Bringing products to a global market can also be very challenging.  Many countries have unique compliance requirements for product safety and emissions standards.  These requirements can be very confusing and difficult to navigate. Products that do not comply may be held or confiscated in customs.  For gross violations, the company may be denied market access to the country.  How do you know if your product is compliant? 

Intequus has a direct relationship with UL and can provide these compliance answers.  UL maintains offices in XX countries to provide direct local support and understanding of the market requirements.  Coupled with Intequus experience in bringing products to market, your compliance requirements will be clear.
