Built on the intelligent AMP™ Architecture

With the advent of packet-switched backplanes and intelligent shelf management, the basic definition of a standards-based platform begins to change. As platforms evolve to include these new and critical functions, they include not only the chassis, midplane, power and cooling architecture, but also the PICMG® 2.16 packet-switched backplane and PICMG 2.9 Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) standards.

The Advanced Managed Platform offering is comprised of Performance Technologies' packet-based IPnexus™ products and offers the most complete set of high availability, system management, switching, power and cooling features on the market. This enhanced platform offering gains its strength from being based on the PICMG 2.16 and 2.9 standards.

Highlights

• Intelligent and comprehensive shelf management throughout all active components
• High availability and fault tolerance built into active components and power architecture
• World-class switching
• Advanced power and cooling for next-gen high performance computing components
• Compatibility throughout entire IPnexus line of embedded packet products

The platform architecture, equipped with a new PICMG 2.9-compliant intelligent shelf manager (ISM), offers the ability to manage all IPnexus chassis elements as well as third-party, PICMG 2.16-based components. Bundled with the industry's broadest line of 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet switches and high density power supplies, the Advanced Managed Platform offering provides equipment manufacturers and system integrators the basis to go beyond five-nines availability while handling the high performance computing requirements of next-generation packet-based systems.

The complete Advanced Managed Platform offering is designed with flexibility and scalability to support a wide range of communications or embedded applications by offering a management architecture, which delivers reliable, intelligent and comprehensive management throughout all active platform components. In conjunction with the complete IPnexus product family including switches, single board computers, I/O cards and enabling software, Performance Technologies delivers a complete, compatible and configurable set of components for developing next-generation systems.

The Advanced Managed Platform offering is designed specifically for high availability solutions. Examples include wireless applications (3G Mobile Switching Center, GGSN or Radio Network Controller), IP telephony (gateways, switches or server clusters), Wi-Fi gateway/switches, business critical server clusters (transaction processors) and medical controls.
