VT835

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.

OM5080

2U Carrier Grade AMC Platform
The OM5080 is driven by simplicity. Keeping it simple eiminates cost drivers and provides a cost efficient and most compact design. Implementing system management in software on the carrier boards allows eliminating extra components for shelf management, MCH and Power Modules. The use of Uplink Modules provides high uplink capacities comparable only with bigger ATCA solutions, without the need for ATCA hubs or complex MCHs.
Efficient cooling is achieved by a push-pull arrangement of dual fans, which are controlled by system management. In combination with the 2U form factor it allows the use of a powerful cooling at performance levels beyond the scope of front cooled 1U or 2U servers.
The OM5080 provides an entry level solution for professional AdvancedMC technology. It facilitates software developments and developments of AMCs. In addition to the basic OM5080 system Kontron also provides a choice of qualified AMCs, and validation of customer selected AMCs in its labs.
– 2U 19″ off the shelf platform for up to 8 AMCs
– Fault resilient design: no single point of failure
– Maximum space efficiency
– Management Module with system alarms and Uplink Modules on front
– Chassis includes power, fans, power distribution and switches with MCH function (1GbE or 10GbE)
– Carrier grade availability (5 nines, components hot-swappable)
– Ready for deployment: Kontron system management IPMI v1.5 compliant, SNMP and CLI for configuration included
– Customizable Design

RackPak/M4-2

MTCA.4 Crate with 6 AMC and 4 µRTM Slots
The powerBridge Computer RackPak/M4-2 MTCA.4 crate is a closed 2U 19″ rack offering 6 AMC double mid-size slots and 4 double mid-size µRTM slots. It is compliant to the xTCA specification PICMG MTCA.4 R1.0.

The system has a hot-swappable cooling unit for AMC and RTM slot cooling. The fan speed can be adjusted via the MCH. There are three different cooling units available, two with right-to-left cooling, one with front-to-left cooling. The chassis do allow one double mid-size power supply, fitted from the rear.
