Radisys expands ATCA platform portfolio

The Promentum SYS-6016 platform is a fully integrated high-capacity 16-slot offering that provides the maximum number of billable application slots in an ATCA carrier-grade platform, and delivers industry-leading 10Gbit switching, packet processing, and media-processing capabilities.

The Promentum SYS-6002 is a low-profile two-slot integrated platform that provides a compact cost-effective solution ideally suited for an array of specialised appliances such as sophisticated security and traffic-handling applications.

Both platforms are rigorously tested against the guidelines offered by CP-TA to ensure interoperability across the ATCA ecosystem.

The Promentum SYS-6016 and SYS-6002 platforms are pre-validated with a variety of hardware and software components thereby enabling Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) to develop and deploy revenue-generating services more quickly and more cost effectively.

The 16-slot, 13U Promentum SYS-6016 platform meets the carrier-grade requirements of the telecommunications industry.

It comes standard with the Promentum ATCA-2210 10Gbit switch and control modules that provide highly integrated centralised functions such as switching, shelf management, network-timing and system management capabilities.

In addition, the ATCA-2210, supports the Radisys switching software that has been hardened and now running live in deployed networks.

Also a variety of payload blades are offered, including high-performance multi-core compute modules, SATAS storage solutions, high-density media processing and packet processing modules.

With a multitude of pre-integrated payload blades, the Promentum SYS-6016 is an ideal choice for 3G wireless and wireline infrastructure requirements for applications such as Radio Network Controllers (RNC/BSC), Media Gateways, IMS (CSCF, Application and Media servers), and IPTV.

The compact 2U, 2-slot Radisys Promentum SYS-6002 platform eliminates the need for an ATCA switch module, and is replaced by onboard Ethernet switching on purpose-built products such as the Promentum ATCA-7220 dual OCTEON packet processing module, ATCA-9100 Media Resource Module, and Promentum ATCA-1200 Quad AMC carrier module.

The Promentum SYS-6002 includes optional shelf-management capabilities that are hosted on the slot one payload blade, thereby providing additional cost savings and flexibility within the platform.

The Promentum SYS-6002 also supports a 48V DC power feed, with optional AC power in either a rear-pluggable 600W AC power or stand-alone 1U AC power module to support both central office or data centre environments.

The ultra-low profile of the Promentum SYS-6002 makes it a perfect fit for low-density subscriber area deployments and specialised telecom applications.

This platform configuration delivers full-size ATCA blade solutions that offer high performance and better pricing then the size and technology space constrained microTCA form factor.
