ATCA Blade Systems LAS VEGAS, CTIA WIRELESS 2006, April 6
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Artesyn Communication Products, a
subsidiary of Artesyn Technologies (NASDAQ:ATSN), today announced
support for Sun Microsystems' new AdvancedTCA-based Netra family of
servers. Artesyn is currently working with Sun to integrate and
certify its KatanaQp ATCA blade with this new family. Artesyn is
also working with Sun to integrate and certify a new ATCA blade
that Artesyn will announce later this month. "Artesyn has been a
pioneer in the development and early deployment of open
architecture standards like ATCA, AdvancedMC, and MicroTCA," said
Todd Wynia, vice president of product management at Artesyn
Technologies. "We are pleased to support Sun's launch of its new
Netra ATCA family, and look forward to working with Sun to
integrate our ATCA-based control, signaling, protocol/packet, and
media processing blades within the Netra framework." The KatanaQp
is a high-performance ATCA blade for telecom infrastructure
applications like WAN access, SS7/SIGTRAN signaling, media
gateways, traffic processing, wireless base stations and
softswitches. The KatanaQp features a pair of PowerPC(R) MPC7448
processors, four PTMC expansion sites, redundant IPMI-based system
management interfaces, and a PICMG 3.1-compliant ATCA high- speed
fabric interface with four redundant (eight total) Gigabit Ethernet
channels. "With the launch of the Netra ATCA server family, Sun
brings proven carrier-grade reliability, performance and choice to
the most demanding applications in communications infrastructure.
Sun is pleased to include Artesyn as one of its ATCA eco-system
partners," said Mark Butler, director of marketing for Netra and
Networking products in Sun's Scalable Systems Group. "Sun's ATCA
partner eco-system offers a wide choice of best-of-breed partner
technologies in multiple vertical solutions." Artesyn and its
partners offer a family of PTMC and AdvancedMC modules that make it
easy to add application-specific functions as such as WAN access,
packet/protocol processing, signaling, and media processing to
Artesyn's ATCA blades. Artesyn's PTMC WAN interface modules, for
example, provide up to eight E1/T1 ports, which enable the KatanaQp
to be used as a signaling blade, signaling gateway, or softswitch.
Similarly, Artesyn's PowerPC-based AdvancedMC and PMC modules can
be used to add dedicated functions like SONET mapping, packet
traffic and protocol processing. Artesyn is also working with
partner Surf Communications to integrate Surf's DSP-based PTMC and
AdvancedMC cards, which will enable Artesyn blades to offer triple
play media processing for applications such as media gateways.
