MicroTCA System Series

Emerson Network Power (Madison, WI) offers the EMC6000 and EMC6200 MicroTCA system series. Available in 12- and 24-slot versions (the EMC6000 and EMC6200, respectively), both feature a high-speed switched fabric, an air flow design to facilitate cooling, and platform management software that simplifies and speeds initial system bring-up and configuration.

Both also include independent control and data plane operation, and are equipped with a MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH), power supply module, and Pentium-based application/protocol processing. The devices include the chassis, power supply, control plane, data plane switch, application/protocol processing, and platform management. The EMC6000 is a double MicroTCA system that can accept any mix of single and double AMC cards. The EMC6200 is a two tiered MicroTCA system that combines two stacked single- wide chassis in the same enclosure.

Both systems feature Emerson's SpiderWareM3 platform management software, facilitating the monitoring of key physical system health characteristics such as voltages, fan speeds, temperatures, and power supply status. When each Advanced- MC blade conveys information via its IPMI, the platform software and/or network operators can monitor system operation, take corrective action, optimize cooling and system power allocation, perform remote shutdown/restart, and log events. A KosaiPM module provides control, protocol, and application processing for the system.
