A rack-mountable server system includes air moving systems, such as fans, to induce airflow inside a server chassis to remove heat generated by components of the server system. The air moving systems are configured to direct air from a cold aisle, through the chassis of the server system, and out to a hot aisle as exhausted air. The server system is configured to be mounted in racks that provide cooling air on either a front or rear side of the rack. Thus, the server system is able to be mounted in a rack in a reversible Input/Output (IO) orientation and can accommodate multiple airflow directions through the server chassis to conform to a hot aisle and cold aisle configuration used for a given rack at a given facility at which the server system is mounted.

A data transport computing device includes a housing, a drive bay framing assembly including an upper platform bracket and a lower platform bracket, a first computing board mounted to an upper surface of the upper platform bracket, and a second computing board mounted to a lower surface of the lower platform bracket. The first computing board is secured between the upper platform bracket and front, rear, and top sides of the housing, and the second computing board is secured between the lower platform bracket and the front side, rear, and bottom sides of the housing. Data storage drives are mounted between the upper and lower platform brackets. In operation, the second computing board encrypts data from a customer and transmits the encrypted data to the first computing board over a network cable within the housing, and the first computing board writes the encrypted data to the data storage drives.
