Continuous Computing(R) Announces New CompactPCI Blade Using Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.FlexCompute[TM] cPCI-CD1215 Yields Dramatic Improvements over Pentium M-based Blades SAN DIEGO -- Continuous Computing([R]), global provider of integrated systems and services that enable telecom equipment manufacturers to rapidly deploy Next-Generation Networks (NGN (Next Generation Networks) An umbrella term for mixed voice and data networks running over the IP protocol. See IP Multimedia Subsystem. ), today announced the launch of a cutting-edge new compute blade that leverages the high performance of Intel Corporation's new L7400 Core 2 Duo See Core 2. processor. FlexCompute[TM] cPCI-CD1215, combined with Continuous Computing's full suite of CompactPCI (cPCI) platform solutions, Trillium([R]) protocol software and professional services, empowers telecom equipment manufacturers to extend the life of cPCI systems while dramatically increasing product performance and reducing equipment costs. Based on Intel's L7400 low-voltage Core 2 Duo processor, cPCI-CD1215 is capable of twice the memory capacity and computing power when compared to the industry's best-in-class Intel Pentium M-based blades. In addition to harnessing the latest CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. technology, cPCI-CD1215 also features power-efficient and high-performance DDR2-400 memory, and a range of on-board storage and input/output options, including extended duty SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. disk, optional SAS (1) (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, www.sas.com) A software company that specializes in data warehousing and decision support software based on the SAS System. Founded in 1976, SAS is one of the world's largest privately held software companies. See SAS System. disk and Gigabit Ethernet ports to the front, rear and other PICMG An industry consortium that develops specifications for backplanes and interconnects for electronic equipment in the industrial and telecom fields. It was founded in 1994 as the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group, hence the acronym. 2.16 options. "Telecom equipment manufacturers have invested significantly in cPCI deployments, and it is essential for them to maximize return on their investment by extending the in-service life of those platforms," said Ron Pyles, Continuous Computing's president. "FlexCompute cPCI-CD1215 delivers new levels of performance, allowing customers to dramatically increase their number of users, improve equipment density, and set the stage for realizing new revenue with cost-efficient cPCI systems." cPCI-CD1215 is ideal for applications such as Application Server, Home Subscriber Server (HSS), Media Gateway Control Function (MGCF MGCF Media Gateway Control Function (3GPP) MGCF Mojave Global Change Facility ), Call State Control Function (CSCF), and a range of other compute-intensive equipment in NGN and IP Multimedia Subsystem An integrated network for telecommunications carriers that uses the IP protocol as its foundation for packetized voice, video and data. Supporting voice over IP (VoIP) in all its flavors (SIP, H.323, MGCP, etc. (IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem. (2) (Information Management System) An early IBM hierarchical DBMS for IBM mainframes. IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used under z/OS. ) networks. cPCI-CD1215 is designed for NEBS and is backward compatible with previous generations of Continuous Computing's cPCI compute blades, such as cPCI-PM1116 and cPCI-PM2118, and may also be integrated with Continuous Computing's industry-leading Flex21[TM] Network Service-Ready Platforms[TM] for a complete system solution. Continuous Computing is now accepting orders for FlexCompute cPCI-CD1215.
