Building High-Bandwith Capacity Through 40G-Ready Capability

Consumer demand for bandwidth continues to grow unabated, and the resulting growth in IP traffic is creating extraordinary demands on the communications infrastructure. As a well established technology for communications infrastructure implementations, the open standard bladed AdvancedTCA® (ATCA®) architecture must evolve too, increasing the data processing performance per blade and the bandwidth of the blade’s data path into the system backbone. The technology for creating blades and systems that interact at 40Gbps instead of 10Gbps is just on the edge of entering the market, but there are steps that developers can take now to pave the way for quick and painless system upgrades once that technology arrives.

Download the ebook to learn more about how we can support your 40G move.

Emerson Network Power supports this technology trend with 40G-enabling solutions that does not compromise existing system compatibility. With the infrastructure in place and waiting, and a chance to upgrade in easy stages, we can help you make the move to 40G with minimal effort and cost.

Steps to 40G Migration

A fully fledged 40G platform consists of three elements:

  • An enclosure with a backplane capable of supporting 10G-KR signals AND sufficient airflow for higher power boards
  • A 40Gbps hub switch, capable of terminating 40G links to all the node slots
  • Packet processing and other payload blades capable of handling that traffic

There are three steps to making the best use of 40G ATCA.

  1. Get the basics right first.
  2. Upgrade the switching infrastructure.
  3. Expand the platform with 40G payload options as required.
