HygienicWith their passive cooling technology and closed housings, Prime Computer products do not stir up air currents. Dust, microbes, pollen and other undesirable particulates are not sucked in and released back into the environment.

EcofriendlyLow power consumption, recyclable components and a long-lasting design: thanks to these advantages, Prime Computer products have a considerably smaller environmental footprint than conventional devices.

Light in weight and compactSlimline construction and aluminium housings make Prime Computer products very lightweight. With no fans inside, they get by without internal voids for air circulation.

Dirt and dust-resistantDirt and dust particles can cause health problems, as well as damaging computers and servers. To combat this issue, the fanless housings of Prime Computer pro-ducts are almost completely enclosed so they cannot draw in or circulate airborne particles.

5 year warrantyWe offer a 5 year warranty on every product. This is due to the high quality of the materials used, the so-phisticated method of construction and excellent Swiss manufacturing. Each product is run through extensive testing before it is shipped to the customer.

SilentPrime Computer products operate entirely silently. They do not vibrate or produce electrical noise of any kind. The products do not contain fans or moving parts. A quieter workplace is a healthier one, and also allows employees concentrate better and work more efficiently.

Silent powerhouse for the toughest conditionsThe PrimeServer is a powerful and reliable server with a 4- 8- or 12*-core Intel Xeon processor, up to 128 GB DDR4 RAM, 5 LAN ports and room for 3 hard drives in a RAID array. A redundant power supply by way of two external mains adapters rounds off the device. A low weight of just 5 kg and dimensions of 85x280x223 mm make the PrimeServer very compact in comparison to conventional standard servers. Two PrimeServers will fit next to each other on a standard 19“ rack board. The PrimeServer‘s housing is made of machined alumini-um. Its special design enables wear-free passive cooling. The PrimeServer stands out through consis-tently high performance and is designed to cope with the toughest industrial conditions.

The PrimeServer runs completely silently. This is made possible by a fanless design and the elimination of mechanical components. Hence, PrimeServers can also be used in smaller offices without a separate server room. A PrimeServer does not disturb your concent-ration and enables you to work efficiently – even if it is located right next to your workplace.

* The PrimeServer with 12-core processor is available upon request.

What our client says about PrimeServer

„What‘s cool is that Prime Computer is not an anonymous big corporation, but a local company in St. Gallen.“Christian Schutter, Management Veloblitz

PrimeServer powered by electricity from the public swimming poolWe own three Prime Computer devices, all of a different generation. We put the latest device, the PrimeServer, into pro-ductive operation at the beginning of 2018. We used the two PrimeMinis we bought before as server and backup server. That’s why we called them prime servers even before we had a real PrimeServer.

The devices are great for us for various reasons. Because they require little power, they continue to run for a long time in the event of a power failure using a simple USV battery. Our rack is located in an office that is used for work and we appreciate the silence very much. No fan also means that no dust is sucked in. Because the fan is not available in the first place, it cannot break. PrimeServer is the ideal solution for small companies who want an in-house server.

What’s cool is that Prime Computer is not an anonymous big corporation, but a local company in St. Gallen. If I have any questions, I can call directly and they will help me. The Veloblitz attaches great importance to using local companies and having a reference to them. The server is operated with electricity from the public swimming pool, which is only a few hundred meters away from our headquarters.

Not a purchase argument with us, but the design is very nice, actually almost too good for the rack.

What our client says about PrimeMini

„It‘s a top-designed Swiss product.“Marco Dolci, Head of Information Technology Private Clinic Hohenegg

We focus on the patients - that‘s why we need IT hardware we can rely onWe have contacted Prime Computer on recommenda-tion. We quickly realized that the products meet our needs: silent operation, low power consumption and that the devices are compact and therefore space-saving.

Since November 2017 we have been using several PrimeMini Pros from Prime Computer and are thrilled. The devices are used in our offices and in treatment rooms. Especially there, a silent operation is a must. We were also impressed by the look – it is a top-designed Swiss product.

Pictures right: Workplace in the Private Clinic Hohenegg. The PrimeMini Pro is mounted on the back of the monitor with the Vesa mount.Picture below: Privatklinik Hohenegg

Plumbing company D‘Ario Sanitär AG from Andwil,Switzerland

„The PrimeMini needs little space, is silent and energy-saving.“Giancarlo D’Ario, CEO D‘Ario Sanitär AG

From old to newAs one of our guiding principles, we implement this every day in our work. Not only with customers but also with us in the office: with modern equipment we want to keep our finger on the pulse of the times. Of course, this also applies to our IT hardware.

We recently put a PrimeMini 3 from Prime Computer into operation. My wife is responsible for administration and accounting and needed a reliable desktop PC. The very small design of the PrimeMini was decisive for us. We didn’t want to have another large tower PC under the office desk that makes noise, gets dusty and loses performance after a short time.We are very satisfied with the PrimeMini 3 because it doesn’t take up much space, is silent and energy-saving.

About D‘Ario Sanitär AGD’Ario Sanitär AG, is a plumbing company based in Andwil, Switzerland and has been close to the water for over 45 years. From large, extensive new buildings and conversions in residential and industrial buildings to small bathroom conversions, we realise the sanitary installations. We let it flow where it should and keep it watertight where no dripping is allowed. In addition to the planning and implementation of sanitary ins-tallations, we offer our customers a round-the-clock support and emergency service.
