Original Press Release:
Performance Technologies Introduces Family of High-Density Storage Blades for Demanding Communications Applications
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 16 / -- Performance Technologies (NASDAQ:PTIX), a leading developer of systems, platforms, components and software, today introduced the CPC5900 Storage Blade and CPC5910 Storage Expansion Blade for high-performance, high availability communications, defense and homeland security, and commercial applications.
Combined, the CompactPCI(R) 2.16 and 2.9 compliant blades offer two Terabytes of storage for embedded database, data caching and file serving applications. Adding the CPC5910 to the company's newest 64-bit single board computer, the CPC5564, provides a high-end compute and storage solution and greatly increases the performance curve of the company's Advanced Managed Platforms(TM).
"Communications applications are increasingly demanding more storage capacity, especially as service providers continue to offer more value-add services to remain competitive," said Tony Romero, product manager for Performance Technologies. "Both the CPC5900 and CPC5910 were designed with this in mind and provide an ideal solution when integrated with our reliable, high-performance Advanced Managed Platforms."
Performance Technologies' CPC5900 is a high-density, high availability NAS or SAN storage blade with two hot-swappable SATA hard drives and an onboard, high-performance PowerPC(R) processor. The product supports applications requiring full RAID arrays (0, 1, 0+1, 4, 5, 6), and is ideal for embedded database servers, as an application server for storage intensive services, as a storage appliance, or as a mission-critical logging device in defense and homeland security applications. It can also be used as a PXE boot server for automated deployment of raw boards and supports Performance Technologies' NexusWare(TM) Core development, management and operating environment.
The CPC5910 is a low-cost, high-density SATA storage expansion blade, expanding the storage capacity for either the CPC5564 or CPC5900 blades. It features two hot-swappable, enterprise-class SATA hard drives with a SATA interface. Paired with the CPC5564, which provides the computing power to make this product a full RAID and IPSEC solution, it can offload the locally attached CPC5564 single hard drive to provide more reliability, higher capacity and higher performance.
Both the CPC5900 and CPC5910 are available now.
