System Overview

Industry

Pinnacle Data Systems, Inc. offers a range of innovative services specifically targeted at the Telecommunications market space. PDSi works closely with Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) to develop NEP-specific turnkey solutions to help accelerate their time to market, improve their overall operating cost structure and provide a flexible and responsive support mechanism to meet their rapidly changing business requirements.

Technology

The AMD AdvancedTCA® blade can be quickly and easily integrated with other AdvancedTCA®, open-architecture, modular components to deploy high performance application solutions. The PICMG® 3.0 core AdvancedTCA® specification provides the advantages of being focused on the definition of an architecture that enables reduced development time and costs, offers high levels of modularity and configurability, improved power distribution and management, offers an advanced software infrastructure providing operating systems, application programming interface (API), and operation, administration, management, and provisioning (OAM&P).

Specifications

The PDSi AdvancedTCA® AMD board is a rugged, NEBS® compliant blade designed with the latest AMD Opteron™, dual-core CPU technology. It is designed to provide a highly configurable and scalable platform for deployment in carrier grade environments.

Turnkey system integration is available with PDSi’s AdvancedTCA® Integration Program. Please contact your local PDSi representative to discuss your specific program requirements.
