Enclosure simplifies VPX integration
The Vmetro VPX/VXS portable tower gives engineers and software developers a head start on their integration and application development.
The Vortex M6000 recording engine provides an effective platform for a number of applications in industrial inspection systems, medical scanners and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) applications such as signal intelligence (elint/comint), as well as software defined radio (SDR), synthetic aperture radar (SAR), moving target indicators (MTI) and many other high-speed data recording needs.
The Vortex recording engines are the common foundation of all of Vmetro's Vortex data recording and playback solutions.
The Vortex M6000 VXS/VME data recording and playback systems include fourth generation hardware platforms designed to provide the highest possible streaming data throughput from the I/O interface to the storage system.
An extensive open recorder software library complements this very capable hardware engine using a common code base across all hardware platforms and operating systems.
This provides a fully maintained and consistent API and compatibility across all Vortex recorder, SAN and workstation connectivity products.
These high-speed recorders achieve high performance ratings in both commercial and ruggedised environments using Fibre Channel storage area network media in JBOD or RAID configurations from cost effective commercial to rugged and solid-state storage.
"The Vortex M6000 enables data recorders to be used in high-speed serial interconnect environments through VXS and XMC I/O ports", says Tom Bohman, Vice President at Vmetro.
"An enormous number of applications can be met with air or conduction cooled Vortex recorders combined with Fibre Channel storage devices that range from commercial drives to rugged drives to sealed drives and Flash solid-state drives".
Pricing for the Vortex M6000 recorders starts at US $21,990.
