J2 Retail Systems has released what it believes to be the first electronic point-of-sale (EPoS) system to contain Solid State Drives (SSD Storage) as standard.
Named the J2 615, the system contains no moving parts in a bid to improve reliability, while also featuring convection cooling to lower noise levels and provide improved energy consumption.
The J2 615 houses the new Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor alongside an Intel chipset to give improved performance to the integrated 15in touchscreen. The system can also support all Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems.
Norm Campbell, J2 Retail Systems' chief technology officer and creator of the J2 615 said: "An SSD works just like a hard disk drive. Its big advantages are reliability, as there are no moving parts to wear out, and its speed of reading from and writing to disk."

attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun

the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
