Windows 2000 Legacy Systems

Broadberry Data Systems supply a range of legacy systems. Legacy can be determined by a range of features, i.e. can the system support older generation add in card such as ISA, PCI or PCIX or older software also supplied with the system.

Broadberry Data Systems are a Microsoft embedded partner, this enable us to supply Microsoft software up to 10 years after the software has been with drawn from the standard supply chain. Embedded software is supplied in two flavours, one being the source code and this enables the software to be cut down or developed to a specific requirement such as point of sales systems, or the software is supplied as the original format but under the embedded department of Microsoft.

The legality is that the system that is soled with the embedded software needs to be classified as an appliance. An appliance is a system that has a sole purpose such as a storage server or it could even be a CAD workstation providing that the main purpose of the system is CAD.

The typical legacy system is designed for industrial applications where a computer systems function is to drive a specific machine such as a Robot in a car plant.
To write and design the software for such an application is very expensive because the man hours in writing the software. This is a typical scenario where the application software was written on a Microsoft NT based platform and the card used to drive the robot has been designed on an ISA card. Broadberry Data Systems can supply a system with numerous ISA slots and has Microsoft NT loaded.

Hardware Legacy Systems

ISA Slot Based System

ISA slots are the 16 bit slots that a lot of legacy systems are based on. Available in both the standard main board style or the industrial single board computer (SBC), either single or dual processor style of systems, solutions up to 24 ISA slots are avialable in standard style of chassis for up to 8 slots or industrial rack mount chassis with standard or redundant power options.

PCI and PCIX Slot Based Systems

PCI Peripheral Component Interconnects are the 32 bit slots available in 2 different volt options the standard 3.3 volt or the 5 volt slots, and first appeared in 1993.
PCI based solutions are available in both 3.3 and 5 volt options and like the ISA based solutions are available in the same format as the ISA based solutions with the chassis options.

PCI-X is a high-performance variant of 64-bit PCI designed for servers adapters and slots are backward-compatible with 32-bit PCI slots and adapters.

Systems are available with a combination ISA, PCI and PCIX slots in the same system.

Software Legacy Systems
