Fastest Time from Development to Delivery
- Drawing from its vast library of innovative designs, Germane Systems utilizes the latest in 3D design and thermal modeling software to create digital prototypes, facilitating rapid design changes while dramatically reducing the expense of multiple prototype revisions.
- As new systems progress through the design phase, our Technology Center (ETC) accelerates development using fully functional ‘Rapid’ prototypes. These non-rugged plastic systems provide the platform for time-consuming thermal and airflow testing, software/hardware/firmware compatibility testing and preliminary functional system integration.
- Our unique relationships with OEM component manufacturers allow Germane Systems to procure components with considerably shorter lead times, significantly reducing time from system development to production.
Life-Cycle Management
- Our solid relationships with component manufacturers and our advanced product life cycle tracking enables our engineers to integrate systems using components with the longest remaining product life. Ensuring that our customers get the longest possible use from our servers and their systems architecture is as important to Germane Systems as it is to our customers.
- Keenly aware of the continuing evolution of COTS components, Germane Systems monitors component End-of-Life projections, deploying Early Warning Notifications to our customers to ensure maximum system life cycles. For components approaching their EOL, Germane Systems offers our customers the following options:
1. Research, test, and validate new components for compliance with existing system specifications.
or
2.
Life-time purchase of existing components
or
3. Design a fully compatible replacement system.
