Get in touch and tell us about your project.

reflex ces has been developing and marketing complex and custom mechanical systems for more than 20 years.

reflex ces can also provide expertise regarding COTS or custom board integration on servers or PCs for large market players such as DELL (R230, R640, R740, T640, R940xa, C4140, etc.), HPE (DL380), and Supermicro (1019, 1029),  but also on specific rugged and embedded PC.

According to your needs, integrating our Altera® and AMD FPGA PCI Express boards (FH_FL, HH-HL, etc.) may require mechanical adaptation of some server items. These changes are then manufactured by one of our partners.

Once these modifications and adaptations are complete, REFLEX CES can offer submission for environmental qualifications (CE, FCC, CSA, etc., according to your needs).

Please contact us for any requests regarding your board’s integration.

Drawing on our 20 years of expertise in designing and developing complex FPGA-based systems, reflex ces can guide you as you define, create and build a product range.

reflex ces builds strong, successful partnerships with its customers, providing access to the latest technologies while ensuring backward compatibility for firmware and software.

For example, reflex ces has developed a full range of products using custom and Altera® FPGA-based PCI Express boards for a major defense company in France.

reflex ces can develop moderate to highly complex boards and systems, given its expertise in:

• Custom chassis
• Power and supervision management electronic boards
• Processing electronic boards based on FPGA technologies (in this example, Stratix® IV and migration to Arria® 10)
• Firmware development
• Software development (driver, application programming interface (API))

Thanks to its expertise in development and integration, reflex ces has continued to upgrade this product over 10 years. We cover various applications and have released new products that keep up with the FPGA technology revolution while maintaining the same software:

• Mechanical evolution to support our customers’ new integration requirements.
• Evolution in size, hardening, form factor, etc.
  • 4U form factor server: 19″ 4U
  • 3U and 2U form factors servers: 19″ 3U, short, compact 2U
  • 4U VPX form factor server: VPX 4U, rugged, mechanical environment, integration density

• Electronic evolution: Implementation of a new FPGA family (Stratix® IV to Arria® 10) to improve power consumption and integration. The required footprint for the same application was reduced by 92% over 10 years.
