Promentum ATCA-4500

ATCA-4500 10-Gigabit Compute Processing Module based on Intel® Xeon® 5500 Processor

Description

The ATCA-4500 is the 7th generation single board computer from RadiSys. It is a high performance, single slot AdvancedTCA computer module based on the single socket L5518 Intel® Xeon® processor. It is ideal for control plane and server functions for LTE wireless infrastructure, Deep Packet Inspection, IPTV, IP multimedia subsystems and defense application. The ATCA-4500 provides 10-Gigabit fabric connectivity, 8 DDR3 DIMM sockets, an AMC slot and an optional RTM offering additional storage and network interface options.

High Performance/Low Cost

The single quad-core L5518 processor provides higher performance at a lower cost then the previous generation of dual socket quad-core ATCA boards. Support for Hyper-threading allows the four cores to process up to two threads simultaneously, so to the OS the processor appears as eight separate cores. The integrated memory controller significant reduces memory latency. Support for 8 DIMM of VLP DDR3 allows memory density of up to 64GB, while providing a cost effective solution for applications that have lower density memory requirements.

Storage Options:

The ATCA-4500 supports multiple storage options. Optional dual user flash can support up to 16GB each, providing a total of 32GB of storage. This storage can function as a boot device, so it can be used to store an operating systems and application image, eliminating the need for a hard drive. The ATCA-4500 supports a storage AMC and also supports a configurable SAS/SATA multiplexer. The optional RTM has a SAS controller that supports RAID (0/1), two external SAS connectors and an additional hard drive, allowing a RAID to be setup between the AMC, RTM or remote storage. The board also supports iSCSI storage over both the base and fabric, allowing the use of an ATCA or external iSCSI storage device.

EFI – Industry standard replacement for BIOS

The ATCA-4500 is based on EFI which is a significantly improvement over the old legacy BIOS firmware. The EFI provides a pre-operating system shell where customers can build and execute EFI applications, such as setup, OS install, diagnostic or configuration utilities.

Virtualization:

Support for extended VT-x and VT-d on the board decreases the overhead associated with virtualization. The ATCA-4500 has been validated with leading hypervisors, making it the ideal platform where virtualization is required.

Upgrade path:

The ATCA-4500 has been designed to accept the next generation of Intel processors with minimum changes to firmware and BIOS, providing an upgrade path that that will minimize customer development and validation.

System management, reliability and high availability

The ATCA-4500 is designed for High Availability (HA) applications providing 99.999% up time. An Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) provides system management functionality compliant with the IPMI specification, and includes features such as standard e-keying, remote upgrade capability, IPMI-over-LAN, Serial-over-LAN, and message bridging and messaging support.

Platform level solutions

The ATCA-4500 will be available as a building block or fully validated and integrated into the RadiSys family of platforms which include 2, 6, 14 and 16 slot platforms. The board will be fully interoperable with RadiSys Promentum DSP, Packet Processing and Switch products, and the board also has been validated with 3rd party AMC and storage components.
