Our Unique "IT Ruggedization" Perspective
At Tek Source Solutions, Inc. we recognize that our Mission Critical customers have unique needs that require that latest in technology, the ability to survive in harsh environments, and the need for support for 7 years or more. Using Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) components enables us to deliver the latest technology at the earliest date. Working directly with industry leaders we are able to purchase COTS components from an embedded roadmap thus providing the long life cycle our customers require. Our computers, servers and storage systems are custom designed to meet the rigorous requirements of Military Standards (MIL-STD). However, we know that each customer has a unique set of configuration needs - so each system Tek Source Solutions builds is a custom configuration that is specially tested at our facilities to ensure it meets or exceeds the shock, vibration, and temperature requirements as well as the technical specifications our customers require.  Tek Source Solution's designs continue to evolve to meet the ever changing needs of our customers; we're focused on our customers in all that we do - and we live this mantra day-in-day-out  by delivering customized rugged computers, servers and storage systems that meet our customer’s needs.

Fastest Time from Development to Delivery

• Drawing from its vast library of innovative designs, Tek Source Solutions 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 Tek Source Solutions 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 Tek Source Solutions as it is to our customers.
• Keenly aware of the continuing evolution of COTS components, Tek Source Solutions monitors component End-of-Life projections, deploying Early Warning Notifications to our customers to ensure maximum system life cycles. For components approaching their EOL, Tek Source Solutions 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.
