Emerson Network Power, a global manufacturing and technology company has launched two new high-performance AdvancedTCA server blades - the ATCA-7365 and ATCA-7367 powered by the new Intel (News - Alert) Xeon processor 5600 series - which are designed to enable network and service providers to lower their CapEx and OpEx.

According to company officials, the ATCA-7365 is a dual-processor 10Gbps server blade capable of supporting up to 96GB DDR3 memory.  Also, the A-7367 is a single-processor blade supporting up to 48GB DDR3 memory.

Both blades, according to company officials, ffer high memory capacities which is critical to optimize application performance.

“The six-core Intel Xeon processors E5645 and L5638 use next-generation 32 nanometer manufacturing process technology to provide customers with significant increases in performance and energy efficiency,” Said Frank Schapfel, director of marketing, Intel Performance Products Division.

Both the ATCA-7365 and ATCA-7367 blades are designed to support a broad array of communications applications that require high network throughput, such as control and gateway functions and telecom, application and media servers in LTE, WiMAX and IMS networks.

The blades are made available in variants to comply with NEBS and ETSI (News - Alert) specifications or variants designed to help improve the price/performance ratio of commercial functions in network data centers and server-class environments like network-centric military, aerospace, scientific experimentation and other data processing applications.

“Our ATCA-7365 and ATCA-7367 blades offer massive main memory capacity, multiple network and storage I/O connectivity and even more flexible storage options,” Rob Pettigrew, director of marketing, Embedded Computing, Emerson (News - Alert) Network Power said.

“With the integration of the latest generation of Intel Xeon processor technology, our customers can now benefit from enhanced security, optimized networking and thermal performance without being locked-in to a single system vendor,” Pettigrew said.
