VMETRO Announces 720 MB/s VXS Data Recorder.HOUSTON -- VMETRO today expanded it's Vortex range of high-speed data recording solutions with the introduction of the Vortex M6000 VME/VXS recorder. Supporting dual 4 Gb/s or quad 2Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, this high speed recorder is able to achieve 720MB/s recording performance in a single 6U VXS (VITA-41) slot. The Vortex M6000 recording engine provides an effective platform for a number of applications in industrial inspection systems, medical scanners and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance may refer to:

Noun 1. ), as well as Software Defined Radio A wireless terminal (phone, PDA, etc.) that is reconfigurable via software. It enables wireless devices to be easily updated to new or later versions of the air interface and allows multiple interfaces to be supported. (SDR See software defined radio. ), Synthetic Aperture Radar Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Radar, airborne or satellite-borne, that uses special signal processing to produce high-resolution images of the surface of the Earth (or another object) while traversing a considerable flight path. (SAR (Segmentation And Reassembly) The protocol that converts data to cells for transmission over an ATM network. It is the lower part of the ATM Adaption Layer (AAL), which is responsible for the entire operation. See AAL. SAR - segmentation and reassembly ), Moving Target Indicators (MTI) and many other high-speed data recording needs. The Vortex recording engines are the common foundation of all of VMETRO's Vortex data recording and playback solutions. The Vortex M6000 VXS/VME data recording and playback systems include fourth generation hardware platforms designed to provide the highest possible streaming data throughput from the I/O interface to the storage system. An extensive open recorder software library complements this very capable hardware engine utilizing a common code base across all hardware platforms and operating systems. This provides a fully maintained and consistent API and compatibility across all Vortex recorder, SAN and workstation connectivity products. These high-speed recorders achieve high performance ratings in both commercial and ruggedized environments utilizing Fibre Channel storage area network media in JBOD or RAID configurations from cost effective commercial to rugged and solid-state storage. "The Vortex M6000 enables data recorders to be used in high-speed serial interconnect environments through VXS and XMC I/O ports," Says Tom Bohman, Vice President at VMETRO, Inc. "An enormous number of applications can be met with air or conduction cooled Vortex recorders combined with Fibre Channel storage devices that range from commercial drives to rugged drives to sealed drives and Flash solid-state drives." Vortex M6000 features: * VME/VXS (VITA-41) Recording, Playback and Analysis Solutions * Dual 4 Gb/s or Quad 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel interfaces * Customizable I/O through XMC/PMC sites utilizing PCI Express or PCI-X/PCI * Available as open (customer programmable) or targeted versions * Pre-programmed web-browser GUI for all recorder functions * VxWorks and Linux support Pricing for the Vortex M6000 recorders starts at $21,990. Availability is 8 weeks.
