The TS1100 was developed through close interaction with customers to address all the above requirements.
The Radisys TS1100 is based on an industry standard, microATX long-life motherboard and supports a full-length PCI expansion card.
The full-length card slot allows OEMs the flexibility of using many off-the-shelf half to full-length PCI cards to target specific applications.
Typical applications include video servers, semiconductor test equipment, virtual private network (VPN) gateways, load balancers, firewalls, content filtering servers, traffic shapers, and intrusion detection systems.
"We've had a successful track record with our long life motherboards and expanding our product offering to provide a more integrated solution is a key initiative for the company", said Fred Yentz, Vice President for Radisys.
"We've significant experience in system integration and have been working closely with our customers to develop a standard solution".
The TS1100 is a flexible, long life and cost-effective product designed for a multitude of appliance servers.
It features three drive bays for mass storage devices such as floppy, hard drive and CD-ROM; front panel accessible power and reset switches along with LED indicators for power and hard disk drive activity.
Other features include a 200W power supply along with four centre-mounted fans for efficient cooling.
Additionally, the TS1100 features Radisys' CH815C microATX motherboard, which is designed for small-footprint embedded applications where space is at a premium.
It has integrated video and unique embedded features such as dual 10/100 Ethernet ports and four serial ports, that are handy in applications such as Enterprise networking and control.
As part of the Radisys Endura motherboard family, the CH815C is based on the Intel 815C chipset and incorporates a set of integrated I/O such as USB, parallel, keyboard, and mouse ports.
The TS1100 supports Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT and Linux operating systems.
The TS1100 is shipping now and has a list price of US $1799.
OEM pricing is available for this product dependent on system configuration and volume.
