CENTELLIS 2000

The Centellis™ 2000 is a compact AdvancedTCA platform providing all the architectural benefits of larger systems. New applications can be quickly added to the network through the reuse of existing, proven ATCA hardware and software. The flexibility in power sources and redundancy make the Centellis 2000 the ideal choice for both central office and data center requirements.

The Centellis 2000 platform integrates chassis, cooling, power distribution, and shelf management into an off-the-shelf platform solution on which you can add your service-related hardware and software. The small form factor AdvancedTCA® chassis enables reuse of existing AdvancedTCA (ATCA®) hardware and software providing a significant reduction in development cost and reducing time-to-market for new systems.

With an architecture designed for 5NINES availability, the Centellis 2000 enables scalable reliability through the use of either independent or redundant functions throughout the chassis. All electronic modules, blades and cards are field replaceable units. The platform minimizes both planned and unplanned downtime and provides continuous service during fault recovery In addition to redundancy of all active system components, the Centellis 2000 supports high availability through hot-swappable key system components.

Designed to meet NEBS requirements, the system features front-to-rear cooling and is designed to meet the stringent Communications Platform Trade Association (CP-TA) B.4 thermal profile. This profile enables any combination of ATCA blades and rear transition modules (RTMs) within the ATCA specification limits.

Supporting both central office and data center requirements, the system is capable of accepting either DC or AC power. Power modules can be installed singularly for the most cost-effective implementation or with redundancy, offering the highest level of system reliability and network up-time.

The result is a high availability server ideally suited for dataintensive central office and enterprise networking applications. The low profile makes the Centellis 2000 the optimal candidate for distributed networking functions, low density subscriber areas, or specialized applications. Target applications include distributed control plane functions, IMS / IPTV subsystems, 4G wireless applications, and edge networking and routing. With a 10G data path between blades and to user slots, full 10Gigabit Ethernet deep packet inspection appliances can be created, especially when combined with many-core processing blades.
