In some instances, our existing Rear Transition Module (RTM) functionality is what a customer needs, but they require the RTM to interface to a specific vendors ATCA® compute blade. In this instance, we can “spin” the design to that vendors specific RTM interface, and then test interoperability for both hardware and software, ensuring seamless integration and deployment.

In other engagements, an existing AMC or RTM card may be close to the customers requirement, but they want another Ethernet port, or a removable SSD drive. In these instances, SANBlaze can design and manufacture a custom solution.

Our proven One–List methodology provides the outline for our engagement, and has been used many times to provide customers specific hardware to meet their storage, networking, or IO functionality needs.

This white paper describes the SANBlaze “One-list” design methodology, and its application to rapidly execute and achieve your new product ideas.

SANBlaze has developed a growing line of Rear Transition Modules (RTM) that provide storage, networking and external I/O accessibility and expansion. Though primarily conceived to support SANBlaze ATCA storage carriers, these RTMs can be used or easily adapted to work with ATCA blades from most leading ATCA compute and packet processing vendors. Customization services are available to adapt these RTMs to any unsupported vendor ATCA blade.

Additionally custom RTMs can be made by combining the functions on any of our production RTMs to produce a custom solution to fit a specific system requirement.

AMC

The SANBlaze AMC product family provides the widest selection of storage options available in the AMC market today. SANBlaze storage modules support multiple hard drive interfaces, capacities, technologies and AMC form factors, meeting the storage requirements of any MicroTCA or AdvancedTCA designs at a variety of price/performance levels.

When storage requirements dictate connectivity to external storage resources, SANBlaze storage controller AMCs are available.

For networking applications 1G and 10G Ethernet controllers are available.

In some instances, multiple functions such as storage and networking are combined on a single AMC card maximizing system real estate to provide unique cost, slot and power saving mezzanine solutions.
