High availability for cPCI platform
Force Computers has released its preconfigured Centellis CO 25000-9U system.
The boards adhere to PICMG 2.9 for IPMI system management and are compliant with the PICMG 2.16 CompactPCI packet-switching backplane (cPSB) switch-fabric standard, to offer the functionality needed for voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), computer telephony and other next-generation network requirements.
By providing Intel Mobile Pentium III 800MHz to 1.2GHz processors from Intel's mobile roadmap on the industry-standard CompactPCI form-factor, CPCI-735/736R2 server blades provide a continuous upgrade path for existing Pentium III processor-based products, reduce time-to-market, save development costs and support product longevity.
In addition, these blades adhere to the PICMG 2.9 standard for the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) architecture a key technology involved in remote system and platform management an on-board feature not offered as standard on previous Pentium III processor-based cPSB blades.
Other features include: up to 1Gbyte onboard SDRAM (option to 2Gbyte via memory expansion modules); 512Kbytes internal L2 cache memory; 133MHz front-side bus; Force's award-winning Sentinel PCI-to-PCI bridge for universal-slot capability; dual PMC slots; dual 10/100 Ethernet and serial interfaces; onboard CompactFlash or hard disk drive for mass storage; and full hot swap support (PICMG 2.1, R2.0) to enable switching of blades without system power down.
The CPCI-735/736R2 SBCs can be ordered now with volume shipments scheduled for June 2002.
