The ATCA-7820 is an AdvancedTCA single board computer offering two dual-core Intel Xeon processors LV 2.0GHz and up to 8Gbyte DDR-2 400 SDRAM with ECC.
VMEbus board boosts performance and cuts power
The V5D is a 6U VMEbus single board computer that uses the 1.4GHz Pentium M processor LV 738 for improved performance and lower power requirements.
"As customers realise the potential of AdvancedMC and MicroTCA platforms, they are uncovering enterprise class applications for which those platforms are ideally suited", says Mack Bennett, Product Manager for Commercial I/O at GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms.
"In turn, that has created a requirement for compact, open standards-based mass storage subsystems capable of delivering high throughput while maintaining maximum uptime".
"The Telum 210 is our response to that requirement, and reinforces our determination to be the leading supplier of the building blocks that enable world class MicroTCA solutions".
The LSI 1064E controller supports PCI Express Hot-Plug control, making the Telum 210 hot swap capable and field replaceable in accordance with the AMC.0 R2.0 standard.
The Telum 210, which has an estimated MTBF of 1.4 million hours, supports single- and dual-port SAS drives, and also supports RAID with integrated striping and mirroring firmware (no software support required).
By combining the controller and hard disk drive on a single AdvancedMC module, the Telum 210 is highly space-efficient - allowing optimum use of the chassis - while freeing host processor resources.
The AMC.1 PCI Express implementation provides greater bus bandwidth by providing eight PCI Express lanes at a transfer rate up to 2.5Gbit/s per lane, full duplex.
Four AMC.1- and AMC.3-compliant SAS channels are provided, with support for up to two off-board channels.
For maximum system design flexibility, the module is available with either a mid-size or full-size faceplate.
Conformal coating is optional.
The Telum 210 provides support for Solaris, Linux, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
