ATCA Compute Processing Module

AdvancedTCA has emerged as the open standard for carrier grade applications. With mounting competitive pressures, OEMs are seeking off-the-shelf solutions to accelerate time-to-market. Next generation applications demand powerful general purpose processing. Intel architecture with its widespread ecosystem of software and support make it a viable server module for the OEMs.

The Promentum ATCA-4000 is a high performance single slot ATCA compute processing module for Intel architecture server applications. It is fully compliant with PICMG 3.0 and PICMG 3.1 for use with Ethernet base interface and Fibre Channel storage systems.

The ATCA-4000 ATCA Compute Processing Module utilizes the Intel Xeon Processor and the Intel E7501 chipset with up to 4GB of DDR-266 SDRAM with ECC. It incorporates one PMC site for flexibility. For high-speed storage access, the module supports a dual star Fibre Channel interface compliant with the PICMG 3.1 Option 7 specification. The module also supports an optional on-board 2.5" ATA hard disk for local storage. The ATCA-4000 is validated for carrier grade Linux.
