First Integrated ATCA Server/Storage Solution using MySQL
Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Astute Networks are introducing a solution that offers unprecedented density and efficiency to help accelerate and consolidate storage deployments for Communication and Media applications. This highly scalable, highly available COTS platform solution is based on Sun's MySQL Cluster database--the world's most popular open source database--and is implemented utilizing Sun's market-leading Netra CT900 ATCA bladed server chassis, the Astute Networks Caspian R1100 Edge Storage Blade, and the Sun Netra CP3260 UltraSPARC server blade. Benefits include increased processing capacity, reduced costs through consolidation and a scalable platform for future expansion.

Stateless ATCA Server-Storage Solution for Unrivaled User Control, Manageability and Serviceability"
NEI and Astute Networks have co-pioneered the first iSCSI boot for bladed ATCA products. The Caspian R1100 is the first such system to hold the “state” (Operating Software [OS], applications and data) of the server, which effectively disassociates it from installed Single Board Computers (SBCs). NEI and Astute Networks collaborated to configure, integrate, test and certify this highly integrated ATCA stateless solution to Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Level 3 standards, making it easier to deploy and giving users unmatched manageability and serviceability.

First ATCA server-storage platform for social networking, IPTV, and Video on Demand VoD
Kontron and Astute Networks have designed a unique, standards-based iSCSI over Ethernet server-storage platform that elegantly eliminates the need for complex proprietary Fiber Channel storage servers. This is the first ATCA server-storage platform that allows NEPs to design edge-level content delivery solutions to address the increasing carrier and consumer demands of social networking, IPTV, and Video on Demand (VoD)."
This powerful configuration enables NEPs to scale from a 2-slot, 2U ATCA edge-network configuration capable of supporting 300 standard definition movies to a redundant 14-slot ATCA central office configuration capable of supporting 1,800 movies (total 9TB of storage)
