ATCA SH20 Chassis Product Photo

  • 3U 2-slot AC/DC Platform for Data Centers & Carrier Networks
  • Maximum Flexibility in Combined AC/DC Configuration

The FlexChassis ATCA-SH20 platform targets the scalable application needs of next generation telecommunications markets. The compact platform enables Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) to cost-effectively scale their product lines to meet all carrier deployment scenarios, starting with smaller appliance systems and moving up to larger bladed platforms when demand justifies migration.

Click to request a PDFThe SH20 supports over 200W per slot 20G DPI solutions for fixed, mobile, and enterprise networks and may be coupled with Continuous Computing’s FlexPacket ATCA-PP50 and FlexCompute ATCA-XE50. When also optimized with Trillium control and data plane protocol software plus integrated professional services, the SH20 is ideal for use in lower density access and edge applications delivering network security, QoS, tiered services, traffic engineering, admission and authentication, and session-based billing. The SH20 may also be used for network access control (NAC), a strong growth area for IP networks.

AdvancedTCA (ATCA) LogoThe SH20 supports either AC or DC power options without the need of adding a stand-alone 1U AC module. This combined capability gives NEPs the flexibility to seamlessly meet customer orders while limiting inventory and other costs associated with managing large or multiple pieces of equipment. The AC power supply or the DC power entry module has enough power to supply a fully-loaded SH20 and all shelf assemblies are designed using Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs). Redundancy is available via a second power component, and optional redundancy is also available in the shelf management functions. For the most cost-effective implementation, an optional fan tray redundancy board is available in lieu of a full shelf manager to ensure fault-tolerant cooling.
