The Promentum ATCA-4000 is a high performance single slot AdvancedTCA module for Intel architecture server applications. It is fully compliant with PICMG 3.0 and PICMG 3.1 for use with Ethernet base interface and Fibre Channel storage systems.

The ATCA-4000 utilizes the Intel Xeon Processor and the Intel E7501 chipset with up to 4 GB of DDR-266 SDRAM with ECC. It incorporates one PMC site for flexibility. For high-speed storage access, the module supports a dual star Fibre Channel interface compliant with the PICMG 3.1 Option 7 specification. The module also supports an optional on-board 2.5'' ATA hard disk for local storage. The ATCA-4000 is validated for carrier grade Linux.

Configuration Flexibility
The ATCA-4000 can be configured for different applications through its options and the use of one PMC site, creating a specific processing solution targeted as an application-specific module. Populating the PMC site with one of various PMC choices – SCSI, SVGA, Encryption Co-Processors, LAN and WAN I/O adapters – and appropriate software associated with the PMC, the ATCA-4000 can meet application specific needs such as IPSec Gateway or SS7 adapter. The module can also optionally configured to support Fibre Channel storage subsystem for database intensive applications such as HLR.

System Management, Reliability and High Availability
The ATCA-4000 is designed for High Availability (HA) solutions providing 99.999% of up time, and is NEBS and ETSI compliant. An Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) provides system management functionality compliant with the IPMI and PICMG specifications.

Applications
The next generation communication infrastructure will be a packet oriented one in which applications or services such as VoIP, VPN, speech processing and a multitude of media servers will co-exist in a seamless, unified network. Additional applications include WAP servers, SS7 signaling gateways, traffic management/shaping blades, switching and advanced call center applications.
