Demonstrations

Emerson Network Power demonstrations (booth #201) include:

 The revolutionary Centellis™ 500, a completely tested and validated MicroTCA system that uses innovative plastic packaging, and Emersons MicroTCA Carrier Hub and high performance processor module.

 The Centellis 2000, a flexible, two-slot AdvancedTCA® chassis which bridges the ATCA® and MicroTCA worlds. When equipped with an ATCA blade which features AMC sites (such as the ATCA-7301) or a dedicated AMC carrier blade (such as the ATCA-C121), the system provides a cost effective, telecom grade solution with processor and storage capability and two to eight slots of user specified AMCs.

 Technologies that enable the implementation of Intel© silicon into extreme environments, such as severe shock and vibration encountered when deployed in vehicles that travel on uneven terrain. A live MicroTCA demo will showcase streaming video while operating under a simulated extreme terrain environment.

 A MicroTCA Multi-vendor Interoperability demonstration will show the ability to combine components from multiple vendors and produce a working system.

 In the Tail-f Systems booth, Emerson Network Power and Tail-f Systems will demonstrate ConfD managing networking applications running on an Emerson Network Power processor through a graphical user interface. The demonstration will show management of access lists, key chains, logging, route maps, as well as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing modules.

Additional demonstrations will include new hardware and software products Emerson Network Power is announcing at the Summit.

Emerson Network Power is committed to leading the adoption of the MicroTCA specification and standards-based solutions for the embedded computing industry. This leadership is evident in recent MicroTCA-related announcements, including:
