AM4520 AdvancedMC SAS Module – Full-Size / Mid-Size
High Reliability Storage Medium for Communications
AdvancecdMC modules are the key to extending the value of
AdvancedTCA platforms designed for multiple applications in the wireless / wireline network infrastructure.
The Kontron AM4520 AdvancedMC SAS module is the ideal high performance, highly reliable storage media for open modular communications solutions that need to achieve higher IOPs (input/output per second) performance in space-constrained network infrastructures. Available in either Mid-Size or Full-Size formfactors, the Kontron AM4520 SAS module offers up to 146 GByte storage capacity.
Built in accordance to the AMC.0* and AMC.3 specifications,
the AM4520 features a 10,000 rpm spindle plus the industry’s highest reliability of 1.4M hours MTBF.
As a hot-swappable field replaceable unit (FRU), the AM4520 also follows the same stringent carrier grade RASM feature set, namely – Reliability, Availability, Serviceability, Maintainability. When integrated with AdvancedTCA platforms, the AM4520 SAS module helps conserve valuable system AdvancedTCA system slots, ensuring greater economies of scale and reduced OPEX.
