San Diego, CA - I-Bus/Phoenix (IBP) announces the introduction of the nFUZION-8U/CHS, CompactPCI® Ultra SPARC IIe NEBS Compute
Farm Platform. The nFUZION line of application ready platforms meet the stringent space and environmental requirements of the network core, cable head end, telecom central office, wireless remote base station and densely packed data center. The nFUZION-8U/C family of load balanced cluster compute farm platforms integrate seamlessly and efficiently into applications that typically only 12-15U server farm systems could accomplish. They are ideal as highly scalable, high density, high performance blade server farms, render farms, video on demand platforms and voice services platforms.
Like all FUZION platforms, the 8U line is backed by IBP global sales, support, manufacturing and agency approvals, in addition to OEM revision control.
The IBP designed and manufactured 8U, PICMG 2.16 compliant CompactPCI enclosure features Solaris 8 Operating System support, an 8+8+2-slot split backplane, and from 2 to 16 IBC2400 Ultra Sparc IIe long life cycle Single Board Computers for maximum OEM project life. Also included are two industry standard PICMG 2.16 Layer 3 managed switches for advanced network functionality and four, 200W Hot-swap DC power supplies (500W N+1). Additional features include an optional IBP Fully IPMI compliant System Management Controller (SMC) and Baseboard Management Controller/Peripheral Management Controller (BMC/PM) with SNMP software options.

"Our enhanced system expertise and third party collaborators allow I-Bus/Phoenix to exceed the expectations of even the largest OEM customers."
The I-Bus/Plhoenix commitment to premier technology collaborations is inherent in the nFUZION-8U/CHS. I-Bus/Phoenix has qualified the Continuous Computing UpSuite cluster middleware package as an option with the nFUZION-8U/CHS blade server. UpSuite provides sub-second application failover as well as advanced IP based disk and memory state replication. I-Bus/Phoenix and Continuous Computing provide the optimum High Availability software and hardware for truly mission critical applications.
General availability of the nFUZION-8U/CHS platform with full options will be August 2002. This platform is also available as part of the IBP Compute Farm Early Access Program which starts this month. OEMs interested in the Early Access Program should
