ADLINK announces availability of the aTCA-6250, an AdvancedTCA processor blade with robust computing power, high throughput connectivity and accelerated packet processing capabilities. Featuring dual 8-core Intel Xeon processor E5-2658 and E5-2648L (2.1 GHz/1.8 GHz) with Intel C604 chipset, eight channels of DDR3 memory up to 128 GB, and a 400 W power supply subsystem for maximum computing performance, the aTCA-6250 provides versatile connectivity including dual 10GbE Fabric Interfaces, dual GbE Base Interfaces, quad front panel GbE interfaces, dual front panel USB and COM ports, and onboard SATA DOM socket. Dual 10GbE ports and dual hot-swappable SAS bays on the optional aTCA R6270 Rear Transition Module (RTM) provide additional network throughput and storage capabilities.
The aTCA-6250 is designed for carrier-grade applications requiring maximum computing power, reliability and high network/storage throughput such as media servers in IPTV, IP Multimedia Subsystem broadband networks, network security, network monitoring/analysis and wireless infrastructures. ADLINK's latest ATCA blade is designed for NEBS compliance and gives telecom equipment manufacturers and network equipment providers a powerful, high bandwidth solution for mission critical applications and a smooth, reliable path for scalability and upgradability.
High speed data-transfer on the PICMG 3.1 Fabric Interface is enabled by a PCI Express 2.0 capable Intel 82599EB 10GbE controller and Base Interface connectivity is provided by PCI Express 2.0 capable Intel 82576EB GbE controllers. Paired with the optional aTCA-R6270 RTM, the aTCA-6250 supports additional dual 10GbE SFP+ ports enabled by an Intel 82599ES 10GbE controller.
