The Application Ready, Pre-Validated Platform Significantly Shortens
Development Time for High Availability Applications
SAN JOSE, Calif. and BOSTON, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today at
the Intel Developer Forum (San Jose) and the Embedded Systems Conference
(Boston), RadiSys Corp. (Nasdaq: RSYS) announced the RadiSys SYS50, the
industry's first fully integrated, CompactPCI PICMG 2.16 platform. The SYS50
is ideal for high availability applications such as signaling, media gateways,
VoIP gateways, switching and routing functions, billing servers and storage
servers including HLR and VLR. The RadiSys SYS50 is the latest addition to
the company's family of switched fabric blade products based on CompactPCI,
CompactPCI 2.16 and ATCA form factors and broadens the company's range of
modules for blade servers, SS7, dual OC-3c line cards and NPU modules, among
others.
The RadiSys SYS50 is an integrated platform consisting of a 9U chassis,
layer 2 switches, CPU blades, media modules and platform management capability
all integrated with the operating system. RadiSys has pre-validated each
building block to ensure platform level compatibility. This means customers no
longer need to spend their precious development time performing validation
testing of individual building blocks from multiple vendors, which can be time
consuming. Instead, the RadiSys SYS50 provides customers a proven system
platform that can be used as the foundation for their production
configuration, shaving months off their development time.
"RadiSys has emerged as a leading provider of integrated, application
ready platforms," said Scott Grout, president and CEO. "We have taken
outsourcing of modular functionality to the next level by offering complete,
integrated embedded systems for use in next generation commercial, enterprise
and service provider systems."
OEMs designing CPU and switch intensive applications used in data centers
and central offices are pressured to provide fault-tolerant, high-density
systems that are scalable. Driving this need is the enormous compute power
required to cost effectively support complex applications in the control,
services and management plane. The need for flexible server systems continues
to escalate as these applications proliferate. Blade servers are cost
effective and scalable by design and therefore offer a compelling value
proposition. As a result, OEMs are beginning to rely on modular solutions that
can maximize budgets and resources, allowing them to develop better products,
faster.
"Validation and testing an integrated solution can take many months," said
Fred Yentz, vice president for RadiSys. "Providing customers with a validated
and fully integrated platform helps them reduce development cycles and
ultimately improve their time to market and product realization costs."
The RadiSys SYS50 offers multiple modular slots per shelf that can be
configured with any combination of CPU cards, I/O cards and/or media modules.
This flexibility allows the SYS50 to service a broad range of media and/or CPU
intensive applications. RadiSys engineered the SYS50 with 5 nines (99.999%)
high availability ensuring customers "always on" operation. The RadiSys always
on architecture means customers achieve carrier grade reliability at data
center costs and they can also easily port applications across platforms
ensuring full compliance with SAF and HPI. The SYS50 also provides legacy cPCI
support, including H.110, allowing integrators to configure legacy I/O boards
with CPU boards that support the standard CompactPCI interface and PICMG 2.16
interconnection. Two pre-defined configurations are available for customer
development:
1. The CP50-DC-LS comes complete with a CP50 chassis that includes two
300W DC power supplies, two EPC-3100 Fast Ethernet switches with
integrated platform management, two EPC-3311 CPU blades, a MM50 media
module with one 20GB IDE hard disk drive, a CD-ROM drive and Monta
Vista Carrier Grade Linux 3.0 pre-installed.
2. The CP50-DC-LSM has the same basic configuration as the CP50-DC-LS and
includes a DM50 media module with two 18GB SCSI hard disk drives. An
AC power supply is also available as an option.
About the RadiSys SYS50
In addition to providing PICMG 2.16 compliance, high availability and
legacy CompactPCI support, the RadiSys SYS50 offers high density in a 9U
package. Up to 52 CompactPCI slots can be configured with CPU cards, I/O cards
or media modules when configured in a typical 40U high frame. The SYS50 also
features shelf management, which has been integrated into the switch, meaning
there is no need for a separate Chassis Management Module (CMM). The RadiSys
SYS50 also supports PCI and switched blades easing the migration path from PCI
to switched backplanes. Additionally, the SYS50 supports H.110 and can be
configured as a compute or storage server.
Pricing and Availability
The RadiSys SYS50 is available immediately and priced at $24,245 (US) for
the CP50-DC-LM configuration. OEM quantities and pricing are available. Please
