The Emerson Network Power PrAMC-7211 is designed to the AdvancedMC™ (AMC) specifications in a mid-size form factor, making it ideal for ATCA blade applications. As an accessory for ATCA blades, it is a perfect fit for applications looking to separate control and data plane applications on a single ATCA blade.
The PrAMC-7211 can scale up to 1.5 GHz CPU speeds with 2GB of DDR 2 memory, allowing software reuse for application developers. The Intel® 3100 chipset supports integrated north and south bridges, 4-channel DMA engine, DDR2-400 memory, USB, UART, SATA and PCI Express controllers. This reduces both the on-board real estate as well as power consumption. This leaves room for additional features like USB, additional memory, etc.
The module management controller (MMC) implementing IPMIv1.5 based management and hot-swap feature allows for module replacement or field upgrades, reducing the system down time to almost zero. Carrier Grade Linux brings forth the high availability features required for telecom applications.
