This collaboration aims to deliver unparalleled yacht management solutions by integrating IDEA’s comprehensive software suite with FUSE’s state-of-the-art hardware, specifically the custom rack-mountable server, IDEA-SR200.
IDEA-SR200: For large vessels and installation:

If you’re looking for the ultimate solution for your vessel and installing multiple software – not just IDEA – on one server then allow us to present the IDEA-SR200.
Pre-installed with optimised IDEA Software. Certified and approved for top performance and reliability, this server has full redundancy meaning you are future-proofed and able to run with high performance.
High Performance: Powered by Intel® Xeon processors, the IDEA-SR200 ensures smooth and efficient operation of IDEA YACHT software, even under the most challenging conditions.
Rugged Design: Built to withstand harsh environments, the server operates effectively within a wide temperature range from -40°C to 70°C, making it ideal for maritime applications.
Compact and Efficient: The 1U rack-mountable design allows for efficient use of space, ensuring that valuable onboard real estate is maximized.
Advanced Connectivity: Equipped with multiple USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and expansion slots, the IDEA-SR200 facilitates seamless integration with other onboard systems.
IDEA-SR100: The perfect hardware for IDEA YACHT:

The IDEA-SR100, a 1U rack-mountable server, is the preferred hardware to run IDEA’s complete yacht and fleet management software, IDEA YACHT, IDEA FLEET and IDEA GT.
This powerful server is designed to meet the demanding needs of modern superyachts, offering robust performance, reliability, and ease of integration.
IDEA-NR100: Solution for smaller crews:

While the IDEA-SR100 is the preferred hardware for larger vessels, yachts with smaller crews can also benefit from using the mini PC, IDEA-NR100. This compact yet powerful device offers a more cost-effective yet reliable solution, making it an excellent alternative for vessels with limited space. This hardware is the perfect accompaniment to our IDEA YACHT GT package.
