The CPC4411 is the fourth-generation 10/100 embedded Ethernet switch from Performance Technologies, the market leader in embedded switching. Compatible with both standard Compact PCI® and PICMG® 2.16 backplanes, it features field-hardened software that has been optimized for use as a high-speed interconnect within a server blade chassis or as the core switch in a fault-tolerant cluster of embedded systems.

The CPC4411 is fully compatible with all RoHS and WEEE requirements and offers the increased bandwidth, performance, and reliability required by high-availability applications, which makes it ideal for use in defense, IP telephony, and communications. When installed in a PICMG® 2.16 or VITA® 31.1 environment, designers can realize performance gains of up to nine times that of current PCI-based architectures.

The CPC4411 has been designed to make system integration easier, while maximizing network performance and flexibility. It features a potent scripting language that can be used to simplify and automate installation and maintenance tasks. It also supports multiple switching topologies (single star, dual star, and hub and spoke). In redundant applications, it can provide devices that have dual Ethernet ports with alternate data paths in the event of a node or switch failure. The CPC4411 comes with real-time diagnostics that can be configured to continuously check the health of the switch. If a problem is detected, data can be automatically rerouted to an alternate path and an error message sent to the system or network manager.

System MTTR is exceedingly low with dual switches in place. If one switch fails, the replacement unit can be configured to obtain all of its operational and configuration information from the partner switch or from an external manager, making change-out of failed modules as simple as a hot-swap. The new unit simply “clones” its setup from the configuration stored on the surviving switch. With no active components on its rear panel I/O cards, failed units can easily be replaced without disturbing cables or other blades in the chassis.

The CPC4411 also protects investments for the long term with easy FTP/TFTP updates to platform flash memory. System software is available through downloads from the web site (www.pt.com), which greatly simplifies or eliminates the need for dedicated on-site network administration.
