RadiSys, a provider of hardware and software platforms for next generation IP-based wireless, wireline and video networks, has unveiled Promentum C2 server, a pre-integrated, portable ATCA platform designed to provide the performance and features required for rugged, ground mobile applications in the Mil/Aero industry.
The C2 server leverages LCR Electronics’ ruggedised ATCA chassis and Astute Networks’ Edge Storage Blades in a deployable, higher performance platform with a more than 30% weight decrease and lower power consumption than current Rack Mount Servers (RMS).
In addition, the C2 server provides customers with integrated computing, switching and storage in one easy-to-manage platform and is designed to meet the demanding environment requirements of MIL-STD-810 and can deployed and serviced in the field.
The C2 server is certified with VMware ESXi, which allow the use of multiple operating systems for consolidation of application and the use of VSphere, to provide fault tolerance for critical applications.
Further, it is scalable and flexible to meet the market’s changing needs and offers easy upgradeability to further adapt to changes in the marketplace. Storage on demand can be done by adding blades, while maintaining the same easy-to-use management interface regardless of capacity and performance point.
The pre-integrated C2 server consists of a ruggedised 6U 6-slot AC LCR Chassis, two RadiSys Promentum ATCA-2210 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switch and Control Modules with optional COM express module, which can support platform management functions, up to four RadiSys Promentum ATCA-4500 series single board computers (SBCs) and Astute Networks’ Caspian R1100 Edge Storage Blades.
The Promentum C2 server features include, 6-Slot 6U AC Chassis; two 10G switches; supports the market-leading 4500 series of SBCs based on the Intel Xeon processors; high density iSCSI storage blade with capacities of up to 3TB per slot and support for the latest Solid State Disk (SSD), Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk technologies; and pre-validated systems that will work out-of-the-box.
