Trenton Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of rugged servers, workstations, processor boards, NVMe JBOD enclosures, and PCIe backplanes, has announced the official release date for its made-in-USA ION Mini PC, purposefully designed for military, commercial, and industrial applications in need of a rugged, affordable, high-performance computer in a small form factor.
