Advantech Co., Ltd. - Advantech unveils 10GE ATCA Blade with Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series

Store this angel in big sizeAdvantech, a arch all-around architect of telecom accretion blades and multi-core arrangement platforms appear in abstracted releases, two new 10GE-enabled articles alone acquainted for the quad-core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series.

Advantech’s MIC-5320 AdvancedTCA Blade with 10GigE connectivity combines accretion achievement with I/O adaptability in a ability able design. Supporting the latest Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 alternation based on Intel’s latest microarchitecture acknowledging DDR3 technology with a 3 approach anamnesis ambassador chip into the CPU, the individual processor quad-core MIC-5320 outperforms antecedent bearing bifold atrium designs. Even with such an access in ability the MIC-5320 has accomplished thermal characteristics. Built with next bearing articles in mind, there is a bland advancement aisle to approaching processors that are able to abutment added than 4 cores.

Using Intel’s latest Gigabit Ethernet and 10GE MAC solutions acknowledging added offloading techniques and virtualization appearance users can arrange the abounding ability of this avant-garde multi-core technology. Supporting up to 48GB of anamnesis it can run database in anamnesis applications calmly - backed up by a 4 approach SAS RAID ambassador that makes the casting appropriately acceptable for ascendancy even applications that crave deejay IO with RAID and failover support.

The MIC-5320 demonstrates the company’s adeptness to architecture and accomplish mission-critical articles for the amount of the network. Focused on top bandwidth arrangement aspect and abstracts even applications, the MIC-5320 is a key aspect for IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) adjustable media gateways, appliance servers and media servers as able-bodied as 3G Radio Network Controllers and Base Station Controllers.

“The aggregate of these latest Intelprocessors, chipset and 10GE controllers in one belvedere accouterment celerity and off-loading appearance boosts x86 networking achievement to new levels. Telecom and arrangement accessories providers can now consolidate some of the custom complete networking designs aback into the server blades and use x86 software to accomplish the functions ahead accomplished in committed hardware. This is a big deal," explains Peter Marek, administrator of the Blade Computing Division of Advantech’s Networks and Communications Group.

Mike Langlois, General Manager Networking and Telecom business at Wind River added. “We’re admiring to see Advantech’s MIC-5320 with on-board Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series already active Wind River’s PNE-LE Carrier Grade Linux. This absolutely helps Telecom barter get advanced of the ambit on aboriginal appliance integration”.

The mid admeasurement AMC bay supports added than just accumulation accumulator AMCs. With abutment for PCIex4 gen 2 and telco clocks interfaces, it opens up possibilities for top acceleration IO interface integration, telco backhaul interface modules and co-processing engines. In accession to utilizing the chipset’s RASUM features, bombastic firmware hubs and onboard USB disks, BIOS and firmware enhancements to abutment CMOS backup, override and HPM.1 upgradeability accomplish this casting a accurate carrier brand solution. The MIC-5320’s all-embracing architecture and complete in adaptability application FPGA technology and RTM customization broadens the appliance fields for this artefact and reduces time to market.

With the addition of the MIC-5320 & the FWA-6500 arrangement appliance belvedere aswell appear today, barter can accretion acceptance to the latest Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series technology in assorted anatomy factors – the best of all worlds. Both Products are sampling now at above OEM’s with accepted availability planned for the additional division 2009.
