Continuous Computing's CompactPCI Blade Features Intel Core 2 Duo

Continuous Computing has announced the launch of a new compute blade that leverages the high performance of Intel Corporation's new L7400 Core 2 Duo processor. FlexCompute cPCI-CD1215, combined with Continuous Computing's full suite of CompactPCI (cPCI) platform solutions, Trillium protocol software and professional services, empowers telecom equipment manufacturers to extend the life of cPCI systems while dramatically increasing product performance and reducing equipment costs.

Based on Intel's L7400 low-voltage Core 2 Duo processor, cPCI-CD1215 is capable of twice the memory capacity and computing power when compared to the industry's best-in-class Intel Pentium M-based blades. In addition to harnessing the latest CPU technology, cPCI-CD1215 also features power-efficient and high-performance DDR2-400 memory, and a range of on-board storage and input/output options, including extended duty SATA disk, optional SAS disk and Gigabit Ethernet ports to the front, rear and other PICMG 2.16 options.

cPCI-CD1215 is suited for applications such as Application Server, Home Subscriber Server (HSS), Media Gateway Control Function (MGCF), Call State Control Function (CSCF), and a range of other compute-intensive equipment in NGN and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) networks. cPCI-CD1215 is designed for NEBS and is backward compatible with previous generations of Continuous Computing's cPCI compute blades, such as cPCI-PM1116 and cPCI-PM2118, and may also be integrated with Continuous Computing's industry-leading Flex21 Network Service-Ready Platforms for a complete system solution.
