Advantech : Joins the O-RAN ALLIANCE to Support White-box Hardware Development for 5G Networks

SKY-8100

The Advantech SKY-8100 is a highly configurable carrier-grade server designed to balance the best in x86 server-class processing performance with maximum I/O and offload density in a 20' depth chassis. The system is a cost effective, highly available platform optimized to meet next-generation networking equipment needs. It is specifically designed for applications where offload and acceleration technology is essential. The power and cooling options along with the streamlined mechanical design make it ideal for Digital Signal Processing and other high tdp PCIe adapter cards. Architected around single 5th Intel® Pentium® Processor and Intel® Xeon® Processor D series, processors, the SKY-8100 combines cutting-edge performance with the ruggedness, reliability, and long sytem lifecycles required by both industrial and networking equipment providers. The system supports single Intel® Pentium D-1508, Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1527, D-1528, and D-1548 with a maximum memory capacity up to 128GB with 4 DIMM sockets. The system provides hot-swappable and redundant 650W power supply modules, 4 sets of hot-swappable fans, 2 hot-swappable hard disk drives, and 2 FH/FL PCIe expansion slots. A management card provides 4 GbE Ethernet ports, 2 10GbE ports, 2 USB and a TAM alarm module connector. The SKY-8100 is designed for NEBS Level 3 carrier grade environments and where limited rack space is available. Interoperability testing is performed with a wide selection of third-party PCIe card vendors.
