Today at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, SBS
Technologies(R), (NASDAQ:SBSE), a leading designer and manufacturer of
modular communication solutions, announced the expansion of its
telecommunications product line with an AdvancedMC carrier blade for
IBM BladeCenter systems. The SBS BCT4-AMC1 carrier blade is capable of
hosting up to four AdvancedMC modules to create application-specific
blades from standard off-the-shelf SBS Telum(TM) modules and other
third-party AdvancedMC cards.
The BCT4-AMC1 is ideal for system designers creating
high-performance telecommunications solutions using AdvancedMC modules
with specific networking features such as LAN/WAN and storage I/O
capabilities. SBS' -AdvancedMC modules allow BladeCenter servers to be
optimized for next-generation IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) and FMC
(Fixed Mobile Convergence) IP-centric applications.
"It's great to see a strategic product such as the BCT4-AMC1
Carrier Blade come to market. This carrier blade helps extend
BladeCenter Server communications input/output and Telecom clocking
capabilities. A BladeCenter server can now be used for building
convergent IMS media processing and signaling gateway solutions. For
example, our carrier blade enables the BladeCenterT server to be
configured to support next generation FMC applications such as IPTV
and WiMax," said Rubin Dhillon, VP of Communications and Enterprise
for SBS.
The BCT4-AMC1 offers two AdvancedMC bays accessible from the
blade's front and two internal bays that are accessible from the side.
To help reduce equipment downtime, the BCT4-AMC1 supports hot swap
capability for the front bay AdvancedMC modules and for the carrier
blade itself. For broad flexibility, the blade's front bays support
extended AdvancedMCs and all bays support full height single- or
double-width AdvancedMC modules.
"The SBS BCT4-AMC1 Carrier helps to extend IBM's reach into the
convergent communications equipment market and expands our
BladeCenterT systems telecommunications solutions portfolio," said Jim
Pertzborn, Vice President, Telecommunications Industry, IBM Systems
and Technology Group. "We are pleased to have industry leaders like
SBS develop solutions for the rapidly-growing BladeCenter ecosystem as
one of our leading partners for I/O internetworking."
Adding system robustness to the BCT4-AMC1, the blade's Baseboard
Management Controller communicates with the chassis Management Module
by using two redundant RS485 interfaces to the blade's backplane. To
manage the PCI Express(R) root complex a processor AdvancedMC single
board computer, such as the Telum ASLP10 running a Carrier Grade
Linux(R) operating system, may be installed in bay 2.
In keeping with environmental policies, a RoHS version will be
made available.
Price and Availability:
BCT4-AMC1 BladeCenter carrier blade pricing starts at US$1,950 and
is available now.
