JumpGen Systems Introduces Low Cost, Low Power Processor AMC

The PRM-110 features the Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor with Intel® QuickAssist Technology

JumpGen PRM-110 Low Cost, Low Power Processor AMC with Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor Carlsbad, CA May 5, 2009 – JumpGen Systems today announces the PRM-110, a processor AdvancedMC™ (PrAMC) featuring the Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor with Intel® QuickAssist Technology and up to 4GB of ECC DDR2 memory. The PRM-110 supports up to 5 GigE links including 2 Front Panel and 3 routed to the AMC connector. The PRM-110 may be deployed with 600 MHz, 1.066 GHz, or 1.2 GHz processors to serve as co-processor or host processor for embedded communication applications. The Intel EP80579 is available with integrated accelerators that support Intel® QuickAssist Technology through software packages provided by Intel. The software drivers enable acceleration of cryptographic and packet processing for VPN/firewall and unified threat management, wireless and WIMAX access applications, and SMB and home network attached storage applications.

"The PRM-110 is our first PrAMC processor board with configurations list priced under $1000. We believe that this product will make basic MicroTCA® systems more cost effective. The Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor with Intel® QuickAssist Technology System on Chip has the features and performance to compete in low power and low cost markets." said Harry White, JumpGen Systems President. "The PRM-110 offers our customers the option to deploy the latest Intel® technology in power limited AMC sites or MicroTCA® systems, taking advantage of the integrated acceleration engines and software from Intel for enhanced security applications."

As several observers have put it, "The key factors inhibiting MicroTCA® acceptance are cost, cost, and cost in that order." The PRM-110 processor board from JumpGen Systems is thus a breakthrough product with list prices under $1,000. It should help greatly in making MicroTCA® and AMCs cost-effective for a wide range of telecom, military/defense, and industrial applications. – Lance A. Leventhal, Technology Editor, ATCA Newsletter.

"JumpGen Systems continues to be a leader in AdvancedMC™ product development and is expanding the ecosystem for AMC compliant products. The introduction of a low cost Intel® PrAMC based on new Intel® technology will help make MicroTCA® systems more affordable and deployable. We are pleased that JumpGen Systems is developing new products based on many of the PICMG® standards," said Joe Pavlat, President of PICMG®, the open standards consortium.
