ATCA-9305

The ATCA-9305 from Emerson Network Power is an AdvancedTCA® (ATCA®) blade based on dual Cavium OCTEON CN5860 processors and the Freescale Semiconductor MPC8548 management processor. The AdvancedTCA specification incorporates the latest trends in high speed interconnect technologies, next generation processors, and improved reliability, manageability and serviceability.

The ATCA-9305 is targeted at security and packet-processing applications in the wireless and transport market segments. This market includes data plane packetprocessor, security coprocessor, video compression, and pattern matching. The ATCA-9305 complies with the SCOPE recommended profile for central office ATCA systems, PICMG® 3.0 ATCA mechanical specifications, and E-keying.

This blade is hot-swappable, which allows blades to be replaced by operators or service organizations in the field without bringing down an entire ATCA system. This reduces spares costs and mean time to repair (MTTR), lowering both CapEx and OpEx. The ATCA-9305 also provides an IPMI-based system management interface, which enables operators to pinpoint and fix problems at the blade level, also lowering MTTR and OpEx.
