The company also provides SuperDoctor 5 command-line or web-based interface for Windows and Linux operating systems to monitor the system and gets alerts via email or SNMP.

Most industrial embedded PCs are not easily procurable, but Supermicro SuperServer SYS-E100-9W-H fanless embedded mini PC is different, as it’s now sold on Amazon for $999.95. You’ll find a user manual, drivers, and list of tested M.2 SSD and memory on the product page.
