Photo Product ATCA XE80

The FlexCompute ATCA-XE80 is a dual socket single board compute blade supporting 12 cores / 24 threads via two high performance Intel Xeon 5600 series “Westmere” processors. The XE80 provides support for 4 hard drives, 64GB memory and an optional RTM with additional network interface options. It is ideal for DPI, LTE wireless infrastructure (e.g., MME / SGW) and IPTV and edge storage applications.

Click to request a PDFThe XE80 dual Intel Xeon Westmere ATCA compute blade was designed with performance in mind, supporting the option of either the Intel Xeon L5638 or the higher-performing Intel Xeon E5645 processor. The XE80 dual Intel Xeon Westmere ATCA compute blade can address low entry points via a single CPU option and scale to two processors without the need for full re-qualification.

Featuring over 1 terabyte of storage, the XE80 dual Intel Xeon Westmere ATCA compute blade has two low-cost solid state disks on the main blade, up to 32GB of cost-effective USB Flash and an additional two drives on the RTM with RAID support. The RTM also supports a high performance 4-port external SAS connector.

The XE80 dual Intel Xeon Westmere ATCA compute blade features two mezzanine sites for the addition of offload engines (e.g., encryption co-processor for Snow3G) and a dual 10G fabric NIC supporting iSCSI, TCP offload, VLAN tagging and congestion control. Since the blade has been validated with leading hypervisors, it is an ideal platform because support for extended VT-x and VT-d decreases the overhead associated with virtualization.
