JumpGen Systems Announces ATCA Blade Featuring Dual Quad-Core Processors from Intel

The PRA-200 AdvancedTCA® supports 1 or 2 Intel® Xeon® Processors and Dual 10Gbps Fabric Links

JumpGen PRA-200 AdvancedTCA dual quad-core Xeon Processor Blade Carlsbad, CA, Sept. 15, 2008 – JumpGen Systems today announced the PRA-200, an AdvancedTCA (ATCA) node blade supporting Intel® Xeon® processors coupled with the power-optimized Intel® 5100 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) chipset operating with up to 1333MHz Front Side Bus. The PRA-200 features dual 10Gbps fabric interfaces and may be deployed with 1 or 2 quad-core processors to host high-bandwidth embedded communication applications. The PRA-200 design may be configured with an AdvancedMC™, PMC, or SATA HD expanding customer deployment options. The PRA-200 is one of several JumpGen products that support 10Gbps fabric addressing growing market requirements for IP networks.

"The PRA-200 is our first ATCA board and we see a growing demand for Intel processor solutions in standards based and proprietary form factors. Secure IP communications and multi-gigabit packet processing in communications, military, and commercial markets are demanding more and more processing power." said Harry White, JumpGen Systems President. "The PRA-100 offers the latest Intel processor technology combined with their power efficient MCH and I/O Controller Hub to offer a high performance ATCA CPU blade that will work within the traditional ATCA power limit of 200 watts."

"JumpGen Systems is a leader in AdvancedTCA product development and is expanding the ecosystem for PICMG® 3.0 R3.0 and PICMG® 3.1 R1.0 compliant products. We are pleased that JumpGen Systems is a PICMG Executive Member and is developing new products based on PICMG standards," said Joe Pavlat, President of PICMG, the open standards consortium."
