Parvus Corporation
Since 1983, Parvus Corporation has been a strategic systems engineering and development partner for aerospace, defense, transportation, and industrial Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Parvus specializes in the rapid design and production of turnkey embedded computing solutions for harsh environments (extreme temperature, vibration, impact, EMI/EMC). Certified to ISO 9001:2000 quality standards, Parvus leverages extensive expertise in systems integration, electrical/mechanical design and a complete line of rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) PC/104, PC/104-Plus, and PCI-104 computer boards and enclosures to minimize cost, ensure high reliability and accelerate time-to-market for its customers.Headquarted in Salt Lake City, Utah, Parvus is the U.S. arm of the Eurotech Group, a global family of technology companies focused on innovative embedded and high performance computing solutions. Parvus operates a 20,000 sq. foot complex located 15 minutes from the Salt Lake International Airport. Parvus is a member of the PC/104 Consortium and is also a GSA scheduled vendor.
Parvus serves a large, diverse group of military and commercial contractors developing intelligent ruggedized computing solutions for harsh field environments. Centered on the North American market, Parvus has strong customer relationships with numerous government contractors, military branches, medical equipment manufacturers, and aeronautics, transportation, energy and telecommunications giants.
Because of the broad applications for embedded computing technology, Parvus' products can be found on land, air, sea and space. Typical applications include avionics command and control, vehicular navigation / communication, operator interfaces, industrial substations, or medical device subassemblies, among others.
Parvus specializes in rapid turnkey systems integration and development services, designing complete embedded computer systems tailor-made to customer requirements through the use of off-the-shelf building blocks and the companyâs seasoned in-house engineering, testing, and production expertise. To facilitate the process for rapid concept to prototype to production, Parvus operates a mechanical and printed circuit board (PCB) assembly line, computer numerical control (CNC) machine shop, injection molding, vacuum forming, and rapid prototyping equipment, as well as environmental testing chambers at its Salt Lake City facilities.
Typical customer projects require low power consumption, high reliability, and tolerance to harsh environmental requirements (MIL-STD, NEMA, IP, RTCA/DO), including high vibration, shock, altitude, extreme temperatures, electromagnetic interference, nuclear/chemical survivability, salt, fog, humidity, water, dirt, and/or explosive decompression. To minimize expense, these systems (see examples) are typically based on open architecture PC/104, PC/104-Plus and PCI-104 products compatible with popular real-time operating systems (RTOSs), including Windows CE, XP embedded, Linux, QNX, and VxWorks. This robust, off-the-shelf product line includes: (1) Embedded CPU Boards, (2) Power Supply/Thermal Management, (3) I/O & Datacom and (4) Enclosures/Chassis.
