Pinnacle Data Systems Announces the Industry's First AMD Opteron(TM) Processor-Based AdvancedTCA(R) Blade Reference Design Kit.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Pinnacle Data Systems, Inc. (PDSi) (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange :PNS Peripheral nervous system (PNS) One of the two major divisions of the nervous system. PNS nerves link the central nervous system with sensory organs, muscles, blood vessels, and glands. ), today announced development of the first AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Opteron(TM) processor-based AdvancedTCA(R) (ATCA See AdvancedTCA. ) blade reference design kit specifically designed to meet the stringent demands of the ATCA specification for telecommunication equipment providers (TEPs) and carriers. The intent of the ATCA reference design is to provide a simple to use model that OEMs can quickly and easily manufacture as is, modify themselves according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. customer needs, or contract with PDSi to modify and complete a unique design with feature requirements provided by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and or end customer. The development kit can reduce time-to-market and development costs as the intricacies of the system design according to the ATCA specification have been researched and resolved, resulting in a kit that is completely deployable without modifications. The prototype blade reference is scheduled to be completed by the end of Q1 2006 and generally available to the public by the end of Q2 2006. AdvancedTCA(R) is the largest specification effort in the PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). Industrial Computer Manufacturer's (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. (R)) history, and addresses requirements for the next generation of carrier grade communications equipment. ATCA incorporates the latest trends in high speed interconnect NVIDIA's High Speed Interconnect (often abbreviated to 'HSI') chip was used in their early PCI Express graphics cards, where it acted as a bridge between the PCI Express connection to the computer and the natively AGP GPU. technologies, next generation processors and improved reliability, manageability and serviceability. Chris Winslow, President and COO of PDSi commented, "This unique blade design offers the telecommunications industry the flexibility and durability of AdvancedTCA(R) technology and allows telco customers to quickly implement the benefits of true dual core and 64-bit computing with the AMD Opteron(TM) processor." "PDSi has a long history of success in the telecommunications market," said David Rich, director of 64-bit Embedded Business at AMD. "By augmenting their top-notch design and manufacturing capability with the ATCA specification and leading-edge AMD64 technology, their customers can take advantage of the very latest and greatest in telecom infrastructure - high performance, low power consumption and ease of management."
