First-to-Market ATCA Blade with Dual IntelŽ XeonŽ Processor L5518 and AMC Bay
The aTCA-6100 supports Hyper-Threading Technology with 8-core/16-thread computing power for NEPs and TEMs
San Jose, Calif, September 22, 2009 - ADLINK Technology, Inc. (TAIEX:6166), a leading provider of trusted telecom computing products, today announced availability of the aTCA-6100, the first AdvancedTCAŽ (ATCA) processor blade in the industry featuring two 2.13 GHz quad-core IntelŽ XeonŽ 5500 series processors, IntelŽ 5520 chipset, up to 48 GB of DDR3 memory, and an optional PICMGŽ Mid-size AMC bay for maximum computing performance and flexibility. On-card connectivity includes dual GbE or 10GbE Fabric Interfaces, dual GbE Base Interfaces, dual front panel GbE interfaces, and quad SAS channels which provide leading edge network performance and storage capabilities. The aTCA-6100 is ideal for carrier-grade applications, such as media servers in IPTV, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) broadband networks, and wireless infrastructures, providing telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) and network equipment providers (NEPs) with a powerful, cost-effective solution for mission critical applications and a smooth path for scalability and expansion.
The aTCA-6100 implements two IntelŽ XeonŽ L5518 processors supporting six sockets for DDR3-1066 VLP RDIMM memory up to a maximum of 48 GB. The IntelŽ XeonŽ 5500 series implements integrated memory controllers and IntelŽ QuickPath Interconnect (IntelŽ QPI) point-to-point link interfaces. IntelŽ QPI provides higher bandwidth with low latency connectivity from processor to memory and IntelŽ 5520 IO Hub at up to 5.86 GT/s. Also supporting IntelŽ Hyper-Threading Technology and IntelŽ Turbo Boost Technology, the IntelŽ XeonŽ 5500 series processors increase the performance of both multi-threaded as well as single-threaded workloads and improve energy efficiency. High speed data-transfer on the PICMG 3.1 Fabric Interface is enabled by an IntelŽ 82599EB PCI-ExpressŽ v2.0 10GbE Ethernet controller and Base Interface connectivity is provided by IntelŽ 82576EB PCI-ExpressŽ v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet controllers. Combined with IntelŽ Xeon 5500 series processors, the aTCA-6100 delivers the necessary performance for high-end telecom and media server applications requiring high-computing power, high bandwidth connectivity and high memory capacity.
The ADLINK aTCA-6100 is the first ATCA blade with two quad-core IntelŽ XeonŽ 5500 series processors and a Mid-size AMC bay, distinguishing it from other processing blades on market. Making use of ADLINK's advanced thermal solution and the elevated case temperature specification of the IntelŽ XeonŽ 5500 series processors, the aTCA-6100 is designed to be NEBS (Network Equipment Building System) complaint.
ADLINK introduced its first ATCA compute blade in 2002 and has continued its investment in research and development of ATCA products as demonstrated by the in-house designed and manufactured aTCA-6100. Network equipment providers (NEPs) and telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) count on its professional experience and product stability. "The aTCA-6100 is the most recent addition to our ATCA product family and demonstrates ADLINK's leadership in the development of high performance ATCA compute blades. It is our seven years of experience in the design of ATCA board and chassis products that has allowed us to create another industry first - the ability to run 16 concurrent threads on dual Xeon processors CPU blade while still supporting an AMC Bay for additional peripherals, " stated Jeff Munch, CTO of ADLINK.
ADLINK's new aTCA-6100 offers versatile storage support with 4-channel SAS RAID 0/1, 4 GB onboard NAND flash, onboard 2.5" SATA HDD, and modular Fabric riser card for additional PICMG Fabric Interface protocols. The optional mid-size AMC bay supports AMC.1 PCI-Express, AMC.2 Gigabit Ethernet and AMC.3 SATA/SAS storage expansion. I/O features of the aTCA-6100 include Base Interface channels, Fabric Interface channels, four front/rear egress ports and update channels. Front panel I/O includes two RJ-45 GbE ports, three USB 2.0 ports, RJ-45 to DB-9 standard serial port and DB-15 connector for analog graphics. Combining high computing performance, high memory capacity and high speed I/O interface integration, the ADLINK's aTCA-6100 is specifically designed for high-end telecom applications.
The aTCA-6100 is currently available for a list price starting a $7,199 with processers and memory.
