Product Overview

Introduction

The latest offering in the NCR Site Controller line is the NCR S500 platform. Building on the success of its predecessors, the S500 platform provides an industry standard computing platform for site and file servers.

The NCR S500 is strengthening its partnership with Intel® by selecting Intel® processors with a matching Intel Q170 Express chipset. The S500 utilizes Intel’s latest micro-architecture, which employs a 14 nm manufacturing process, hyper-threading, multiple cores, and memory controller integration onto the processor. Keeping with the NCR goal of long-life products, the S500 platform has been sourced to provide a long life relative to the PC market, where platform changes every 6 months are common. By selecting Intel Embedded Roadmap components and by partnering with vendors to ensure long life availability of memory, cases, hard drives, etc., NCR can ensure product availability for 18–24 months, followed by a support life through the NCR Field Services group of an additional 5 years.

The S500 offers multiple configurations options. For users who do not require the high end CPU power, the Pentium G4400 dual core CPU and Core i3 6100 can be used to provide a lower cost solution. Users wanting a more robust server solution can opt for the i5-6500 and i7-6700 quad core processors. With a fast processor, 2133 MHz, DDR4 SDRAM, PCI and PCI express expansion slots, USB 3.0 and 2.0 support, the S500 provides enough power for the most demanding software.
