At Expando, we understand that one size does not fit all, especially in the defense sector, where precision and reliability are paramount. Through our product modification process, we collaborate closely with our customers to provide hardware solutions that address their specific requirements while saving time, money, and risk.
“Our job is not just to deliver hardware but to deliver the right hardware that meets the needs of our customers.”
– Carlo Talamo, Senior Key Account Manager, Expando
The Process: Turning requirements into solutions
Our process begins with a requirements analysis, where the customer outlines their needs, and we engage in a collaborative dialogue to fully understand their goals. We follow up with the requirements dialogue, where we delve deeper into technical details and specifications to refine the solution. Afterward, our internal team evaluates the gathered information to develop the best possible solution tailored to the customer’s needs.
Carlo Talamo explains, “During these dialogues, we often identify some of the solution requirements aren’t necessary. By guiding our customers, we ensure they avoid unnecessary complexity and expense, ultimately leading them to the best solution for their needs.”
Our team works diligently to deliver results that meet and exceed expectations. Whether it’s optimizing CPU and GPU performance, adding interfaces for specific configurations, or ensuring backward compatibility with mid-life upgrades.
HALF19®: Proven performance in rugged environments
Our own product line, HALF19®, showcases our expertise in rugged servers. Our Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solutions are specifically designed for the defense industry. This is where Expando’s deep experience with MIL standards (MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461 among others) comes into play. Our HALF19® offer unmatched performance with it’s active cooling and are designed to excel in most defense domains.
By starting with COTS hardware rather than building entirely from scratch, our customers gain access to a solution that saves:
- Time: Leveraging proven designs accelerates the development process.
- Money: Using pre-existing technology eliminates unnecessary costs.
- Risk: Ensuring reliability by having full control over components and their lifecycle.
As Carlo highlights, “The HALF19® series including servers, workstations and NAS, is continuously developed and updated to ensure it stays at the forefront of technology. This commitment to ongoing improvement allows us to deliver solutions that are consistently reliable and aligned with the latest technologies.”
