Advantech’s Netarium™ series of ATCA reference systems are specifically targeted to help network equipment providers reach superior levels of performance over traditional rackmount servers or appliances and extend their product range at the high end. The series represents a new generation of systems which offer higher performance, greater scalability and extreme flexibility by using the latest 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40G) backplanes, switches and application blades. Advantech optimizes the systems to achieve the highest possible density at the rack level, enabling a maximum number of processor cores, network ports and switching capacity. Each system is tailored for customers to rapidly deploy in data communication markets for applications which require faster and deeper packet processing such as policy and charging enforcement, network security, real-time traffic monitoring, load balancing, subscriber analytics and content optimization among others. As ATCA was designed to meet the carrier-grade constraints of the telecom industry, the systems integrate the chassis, cooling, power distribution and shelf management into an off-the-shelf platform solution capable of superior 5 NINES availability and reliability.
NetariumTM-2 is the ultimate in entry level flexibility. This 2-slot platform allows OEMs to redeploy common platform hardware which scales when needed. Based on the MIC-5333 it packs more processing power than previous generation 6-slot systems. With an increase in miniaturization and performance at the blade level it is accompanied by a new concept at the mezzanine level to bring more I/O and acceleration closer to the processing cores. With four FMM sites on each ATCA blade and RTM, the MIC-5333 integrated into the Netarium™-2 Reference System offers the broadest flexibility in entry level system performance on ATCA.
Many different payloads can be integrated into Advantech Netarium™ systems and configured to address diverse industry applications. For more details on integrating a specific configuration please contact your local sales representative.

The ATCA-9112 40GbE switch blade provides 10/40GbE switching for 16 slots and 8 front panel uplinks with a 640Gbps non-blocking fabric switch from Broadcom. An RTM provides up to 100Gbps of connectivity. Designed for network security, LTE and DPI-centric applications, the ATCA-9112 offers the highest aggregate switching bandwidth within an ATCA chassis enabling support for 16-slot systems. A Broadcom BCM56846 ensures seamless integration through open standard hardware supporting 40GbE or 10GbE ATCA node blades. A Broadcom BCM56321 provides ATCA base interface connectivity. The switch offers a flexible approach to switch blade functionality via a mid-size AMC site to host application processing, acceleration or offload functions. Advantech’s Freescale QorIQ™ P5020-based AMC-4202 or x86-based MIC-5603 PrAMC can be used to consolidate processing requirements.
