ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Annapolis Micro Systems Inc. in Annapolis, Md., is introducing the rugged WILDSTAR OpenVPX embedded computing data storage boards to handle high-bandwidth and high-density data recording systems that operate in harsh environments.
These next-generation 100 Gigabit Ethernet storage boards are aligned to the emerging Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) and VITA 65 open-systems standards.
The WILDSTAR 6SN0 6U OpenVPX data storage board features 64 terabytes of capacity in one 1-inch 6U slot, and as much as 10 gigabytes per second read/write bandwidth. The 6SN0 is now shipping.
The WILDSTAR 3SN0 3U OpenVPX storage board features 32 terabytes of capacity in one 1-inch 3U slot, and as much as 5 gigabytes per second read/write bandwidth. Orders are now being accepted, with shipping starting in June 2020.
These embedded computing boards feature the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, which allows for standalone operation, and for several interfaces that can operate simultaneously. Options include PCI Express, Aurora, 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, and user-defined protocols.
Bandwidth comes from 25-gigabit-per-second FPGA transceivers and high-density MULTIGIG RT3 backplane interconnects, which deliver 100 gigabits per fat pipe. VITA 66 optical I/O is available to the backplane or front panel.
Annapolis storage boards feature a rugged design and are available in industrial temperature grades, with air, conduction, air-flow-through, or liquid cooling. The boards are hot swappable and backplane connectors are rated for 10,000 insertion cycles.
The 6SN0 and 3SN0 storage boards are readily integrated into SOSA-aligned VPX systems. For more information contact Annapolis Micro Systems online at www.annapmicro.com.
