The Nextronics ATCA provides an open architeture framework for building high-density, high-avalaiblity telecom infrastructure systems. The Nextronics ATCA's high-performance switched fabric, which supports full mesh as well as dual star configurations, delivers a systems. This flexible, high-performance fabric, coupled with a large form-factor(8U) high power capability (up to 200w), hot swappability and redundant 12C-based IPMI system management, make Nextronics ATCA ideal for implementing complex control, access and packet processing functions on a single field-serviceable blade.
