ECHING, Germany -- Kontron announced today the new Kontron CG2100 Carrier Grade Server, with support of the Intel Xeon Processor 5600 series, further extending Kontron's commitment to Telco customers by providing the latest in state-of-the-art rack mount servers. Kontron is also announcing added support for the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series to the existing IP Network Server Kontron NSN2U.

The Kontron CG2100 combines high performance, ruggedness, reliability, and long life in a NEBS-3 and ETSI-compliant 2U chassis. This server is ideal for the demanding environment and limited space of the Telco central office, as well as for network data centers. It enables OEMs and TEMs to create specialized, value-added solutions for a variety of telecom applications including unified messaging, SoIP, call control, media and signaling gateways, and operational system support. In addition, the Kontron CG2100 is well suited for other types of rugged applications, such as in the Military and Medical segments, where meeting tough environmental and long life requirements are critical. With the NEBS purpose-built CG2100, Kontron is advancing carrier grade servers to the latest in technology and innovation, while continuing to assure customers of the same level of ruggedness, reliability, and long life that is expected with these types of mission-critical products, said Jim Bringley, Director of Communication Rackmount Servers division within Kontron.

The Kontron CG2100 achieves improved performance through dual socket support of the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series which utilizes up to 6 cores and 12 MB cache on 32nm technology, enabling 12 high-speed cores per system. With a greater number of available threads and increased cache size, more performance is achievable in the same thermal power envelope, especially for highly threaded applications. Telecom and data center carriers benefit from an optimized total cost of ownership by reduced system count and energy consumption without compromise on reliability. The Intel Xeon processor 5600 series provides industry-leading performance and energy efficiency, says Frank Schapfel, Product Line Marketing Manager, Intel Performance Products Division. This platform is ideal for high-performance computing in communications infrastructure and data centers.
