Russian term or phrase: промышленные системные блоки
This is a description of a product offered by a company that sells electronic cash registers, various software and communications systems for linking POS terminals with the central computer of a business, etc. I'm trying to name this gracefully, but not coming up with the right phrase. I see that "industrial base unit" is an accepted phrase, but I don't think it really conveys anything. The customer explains the thing like this: "У нас так называют системные блоки (компьютеры) большой мощности, разработанные специально для использования в POS-системах". Any ideas? I'm thinking of writing something like "central computer systems" or "large central computers."

back-office computer systems / base units


Explanation:
sounds like it

Back Office Computer
If you are planning to have 4 or more POS Stations or if you are interested in having a dedicated station to run reports, create invoices and purchase orders, check inventory levels, or even view real-time productivity without interfering with your servers / cashiers, then you should consider adding a Back Office Computer. A Back Office Computer can act as a server that hosts the database of the other Terminals, thus taking some of the load off of and speeding up the response time of the other Stations in the store. And, of course, the Back Office Computer does not need a PIN Pad, Barcode Scanner, Cash Drawer, Receipt Printer, etc. so it costs less than a typical POS Station. Remember that you will need to add an additional software license though!

other ideas:
commercial-grade computer systems / base units
industrial-grade is not right, I think

Enterprise server


Explanation:
Basically, it's just a kind of server. Based on the description provided I believe that's the kind they mean. You could be more specific if desired by saying "POS systems server" or some such but that would be document specific.
