Performance Technologies Extends its PICMG® 2.16 Embedded Ethernet Switch Family
The CPC6620 with 10Gb uplink ports is the latest addition to Performance Technologies' award-winning line of embedded Ethernet switches
May 14, 2007 - ROCHESTER, NY - Performance Technologies (NASDAQ: PTIX), a leading developer of communication platforms and systems, today introduced the CPC6620, the most advanced PICMG® 2.16 embedded Ethernet switch on the market. Featuring 24 10/100/1000 Mb switch ports, two 10Gb uplink ports and support for IPv6 routing, it is the latest addition to Performance Technologies' line of award-winning switches and is a key component of the company's complete line of high availability Advanced Managed Platform™ solutions.
"Telecom equipment and defense system manufacturers require solutions that can provide the reliability and performance they require for critical applications," said Hank Heneghan, director of product management for Performance Technologies. "The CPC6620 represents Performance Technologies' commitment to providing customers with standards-based technology backed by years of networking experience, and is designed to allow them to concentrate on what's important to them - developing applications cost-effectively and decreasing time-to-market."
The CPC6620 offers the bandwidth required for demanding applications as well as the resilience required in high availability applications, including airborne or ship borne communications systems, media and signaling gateways, IP media equipment, telecom switching/routing infrastructure, and wireless infrastructure elements. Available in ruggedized and conformal coated versions with fibre optic 10Gb uplinks, the CPC6620 can be configured to monitor network status and to continuously check its own health through real-time integrity tests.
Performance Technologies' complete line of high availability Advanced Managed Platforms provide an alternative to existing commercial and proprietary systems. Configurations include 1Gb or 10/100 Ethernet switches, comprehensive remote shelf management, high-performance x86 and PowerPC® compute elements accommodating Linux, Solaris® or Windows® operating systems, and HA middleware. Options include applications processors, a wide range of networking I/O products and communications protocols and NexusWare®, the company's CGL 3.2-registered and POSIX-compliant Linux distribution and development environment. Advanced Managed Platforms and available configuration options provide complete, integrated base platforms with the intent of reducing integration time and lowering development costs for equipment developers and integrators.
CPC6620 beta units are now available.
Performance Technologies is headquartered in Rochester, New York. Additional engineering facilities are located in San Diego and San Luis Obispo, California, and Kanata, Ontario, Canada.
