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 MIC-3023 is a space and cost optimized 3U CompactPCI enclosure which is designed to host up to two 6-slot CompactPCI 3U backplanes. Each backplane supports 32bit 33MHz or 66MHz PCI add in cards. The chassis can be powered by two PICMG2.11 CPCI power supplies for two individual systems, which is suitable for redundant, room less and high density application. MIC-3023 provides for a wide range of applications in the industrial market requiring a robust, compact and reliable platform such as in transportation.
With fanless design and the support of front swappable power supplies, systems based on the MIC-3023 can support a Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) of 5 minutes or less.

The MIC-3042 is a 4U enclosure designed for standard cPCI power supplies. It is equipped with a cPCI 500 W redundant 2+1 power supply with hot-swap support. The system has 8 slots for CompactPCI boards and 6 slots for IEEE 1101.11 rear I/O transition boards. The MIC-3042 comes with a built-in high quality backplane that supports 64-bit / 66 MHz PCI cards. The standard configuration includes a H.110 CT Bus that complies with PICMG 2.5, which is the open architecture used to build telecom solutions.
