What you need to know about ruggedized computers

Article Abstract:

Five questions that customers should ask before deciding whether to buy ruggedized or commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) computer equipment are discussed. Ruggedized equipment can operate in relatively extreme temperatures, while COTS equipment cannot. Ruggedized equipment can withstand strong shocks, such as those that might result from a computer being dropped on concrete.
