VMETRO Delivers VXS-Enabled Intelligent I/O Carrier.


HOUSTON -- VMETRO is now delivering the Phoenix M6000 VXS (VITA-41) intelligent I/O controller with dual PMC/XMC sites to customers. Phoenix is a family of innovative products designed to enable system solutions for real-time multi-processors with high-speed serial communications. Being VXS enabled, the Phoenix M6000 can easily integrate into VMETRO's existing Phoenix VXS systems to provide an embedded system controller (with a PowerPC 440SP CPU CPU

), intelligent PMC/XMC carrier, or high-performance data recording blade.

The Phoenix M6000 is optimized for moving data making it ideal for performance embedded applications where high data throughput is essential. Such applications include military and aerospace intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance may refer to:

XMC module support for the Phoenix M6000 already includes the VMETRO SFM, a quad Serial-FPDP XMC, and the AdvancedIO(TM) Systems V1020, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) XMC with intelligent protocol acceleration and a FPGA for real-time packet processing. AdvancedIO and VMETRO worked together to integrate the V1020 onto the M6000 to enable 10GbE in embedded applications in a simple and straight forward manner. "Because of the speed of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the choice of carrier boards is an important architecture decision to ensure that the customer gets the performance they are expecting," said Mohammad Darwish, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"The architecture of the Phoenix M6000 enables us to support emerging 10GbE applications at full speed and having the V1020 integrated with the M6000 makes it easy for customers to incorporate the combined solution into their systems."

Software support for the M6000 includes a VxWorks 6.2 BSP BSP
