The State of MicroTCA: Addressing Time-to-Market & Cost Concerns*

Sponsors: Performance Technologies
Host: Simon Stanley, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading; Tony Romero, Sr. Product Manager of IPnexus® Systems; Steve Wigent, Sr. Product Manager of NexusWare® Software Suite
Date: Thursday, June 18, 2009
Time: 12PM EST (USA) / 9AM PST (USA) / 17:00 UK and 18:00 France/Germany/Benelux
Overview:
Think MicroTCA® is not a viable option for your next project? Think again!

You may miss emerging business opportunities if you believe common misconceptions that MicroTCA is too costly, or that it's too early for market adoption, or that overcoming integration obstacles will push your design costs over the edge. New advances in MicroTCA are driving revenue opportunities for savvy companies developing applications for wireless, LTE, WiMax, and radar servers, as well as edge and signaling gateways.

This Webinar provides insights into how pre-integrated MicroTCA systems address the problems of shrinking budgets, lower margins, higher costs, integration difficulties, and reducing time-to-market schedules. Topics covered will include MicroTCA market dynamics, scalable designs, integrated Linux®, processor and storage options, remote management software, and overcoming obstacles to successful project integration. The reality of cost-optimized MicroTCA systems that offer high performance and long product life cycles is here -- register today and learn more.
