Why the partnership exists

"We have been working on this project for some time and we believe by combining our strengths we can bring back the high level solution the industry demands," said Kris Cardona, Managing Director at YOT LTD.

"Utilising IDEA's leading superyacht and fleet management software means ensuring you can run it to its full capability with the best hardware," added Christian Mühle, Managing Director at IDEA Data Solutions GmbH.

IDEA-SR100

A 1U rack-mountable server, identified as the preferred platform for IDEA YACHT, IDEA FLEET and IDEA GT. Intel Xeon processors, 32GB memory and 480GB RAID 1 storage.

Four Gigabit Ethernet ports plus out-of-band LAN, optional 10G, sliding rails and top access for maintenance, pre-loaded with Windows Server 2025 supporting two concurrent virtual machines.

IDEA-NR100

A compact mini-server for yachts with smaller crews and constrained install locations, Intel Core, 16GB memory, 256GB storage, 2x 2.5G LAN and Wi-Fi 6.

Rated from -40°C to 70°C for 24/7 operation where temperature management is not ideal, and the natural companion to the IDEA YACHT GT package.

IDEA-SR200

For larger vessels running multiple applications alongside the IDEA suite: Intel Xeon, 64GB memory, 1500GB RAID 5, and full redundancy to minimise the risk of downtime.

Shipped pre-installed with optimised IDEA software and virtualisation enabled.
