HONG KONG -- Artesyn Embedded Technologies announced the Centellis 8840, the industry's most powerful AdvancedTCA (ATCA) open-standard server system thanks to 160G aggregate bandwidth capacity to each blade today and future 400G to each blade with the ability to support power and cooling for up to 600 watts per blade. Following the company's recent announcement of the industry's first 100G ATCA technology, the Centellis 8840 integrates that technology into a NEBS-ready platform that will accept 40G ATCA blades today and 100G blades when they are available. Network equipment providers and carriers developing SDN/NFV network security and optimization, where deep packet inspection techniques are used to process massive data flows in real time, can now use a full payload of today's highest performance advanced processing and networking blades in a platform future-proofed for higher powered processors.

Artesyn has implemented an innovative QuadStar backplane architecture to provide four independent networks supporting up to 400Gbps aggregated bandwidth to every blade. Customers can achieve an aggregated system bandwidth of 1.6 Tb/s with no redundancy using today's 40G switches and processor blades. When 100G switches and processor blades become available, the same QuadStar technology can enable up to 4.0 Tb/s aggregate system bandwidth in a non-redundant implementation using the same chassis and backplane.
