Size Matters - Applying the OM5080 2U Carrier Grade Platform

From Kontron USA
 

 

ATCA and MicroTCA have been specially designed for communication solutions in public and private networks. The pre-dominant feature in such applications is high availability, which is achieved by a redundant systems design without single point of failure. However, not every carrier grade system is large and contains a high number of processor blades. In small systems, the price for redundant network hubs and redundant shelf management becomes a major cost driver.
