Advantech’s MIC-5345 is a 40G dual processor ATCA blade based on the Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3/v4 series. The MIC-5345 is offered in two main configurations:
As a dual processor blade supporting 16 DDR4 VLP DIMM slots it offers best in class memory support at lowest cost making it an ideal choice for typical server workloads and virtualized application scenarios such as NFV. Up to 512GB memory capacity allow users to harness the full capabilities of CPU with up to 24 cores and 48 threads for virtualization and adequate physical memory per virtual machine.
The dual socket SKU supports a a Fabric Mezzanine Module type II socket with PCIe x8 connectivity providing extension possibilities for additional front port I/O, offload and acceleration controllers such as the Intel® Communications Chipset 89xx Series, other IPSec offload engines or customer specific logic.
Two QPI interfaces between the CPUs improve memory and I/O access throughput and latencies when one processor needs to access resources hosted by the other socket. It outperforms previous generation dual socket designs while keeping similar thermal characteristics.
In a single processor configuration, the MIC-5345 offers a very attractive price point for applications which require lower processing power such as control plane and orchestration. With support for 8 DIMM sockets, two 2.5″ SSDs and the processing performance of a server-class processor, the MIC-5345 comes with an optimized feature set and outperforms 1st and 2nd generation dual socket ATCA blades resulting in a major cost reduction.
The single socket MIC-5345 SKU features two additional CFAST sockets instead of an FMM site.
Both blade configurations feature two 10/40GbE fabric ports based on the Intel® Ethernet controller XL710-AM2 with fast PCI Express gen. 3 technology running at up to 8Gbps per lane and best-in-class virtualization support.
Advantech’s IPMI solution, combined with an optimized UEFI BIOS, continues to offer advanced features used on previous generation MIC-533x blades, such as HPM.2 support, Dynamic Power Budgeting, BIOS redundancy, Real Time Clock Synchronization and MAC Mirroring. Advantech IPMI firmware has been tested for CP-TA compliance using the Polaris Networks ATCA Test Suite and against a variety of AdvancedTCA shelf management solutions.

The VT835 offers unprecedented performance density with 1 ATCA node slot and 8 mid-size, single width AMCs in 3U height. Typically, only 4 mid-sized AMCs can fit on an ATCA carrier, with VadaTech’s unique design, 8 AMCs can fit in a single chassis to provide AMC’s versatility of processors, FPGAs, storage, graphics, I/O options and much more. Double-width AMCs can also be implemented.

The two slots support modules up to 400W, allowing the use of a high power host processor and AMC. Additional I/O is available through two standard ATCA RTMs. The VT835 has full redundancy support for all FRUs, including dual Shelf Managers.

The VT830 features dual Switching Shelf Managers (SSMs) that combines VadaTech’s 3rd Generation Shelf Manager with integrated GbE/10GbE/40GbE switches on the same module. This allows two slots in the system to be used as Nodes (Payload Boards) versus having the slots otherwise be allocated as dedicated switching Hubs in the system.

The 6U 6-slot SlotSaver ATCA Chassis conforms to the latest PICMG 3.0 specification in 10G or 40G configurations. The Shelf has a 19″ rackmount form factor compliant to EIA-310. The VT830 Shelf offers 10GbE/1GbE Layer 2 managed switches or 40GbE/10GbE/1GbE Layer 3 managed switches. The Switching Shelf Managers have RTM capabilities for rear I/O.

The AC input of the Shelf provides N+1 redundancy, with options for DC or AC/DC combined configurations. The 6U ATCA Shelf offers exceptional thermal management with each slot dissipating up to 375W in a redundant push/pull configuration. The fan trays and air filters are all separately removable.
