VadaTech Announces Express Development Platforms

Henderson, NV – July 15, 2014 – VadaTech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and complete application-ready platforms, now offers Express Development Platforms.  The system platforms are standard, high versatile configurations designed to meet a wide range of development needs.

The first two chassis in the series, the EXP100 and EXP200 feature 6 AMC slots and 2 AMC slots respectively in 1U enclosure height.   Both versions have an integrated low-cost shelf manager and universal AC power.  The 2-slot is a basic low-cost design with one Intel-based processor AMC (VadaTech’s AMC720).  The routing across the backplane is point-to-point, allowing any fabric to be utilized (10 or 40 GbE, SRIO, PCIe, Aurora, etc).  The result is a compact, versatile, and low-cost development platform for MicroTCA/AMC based requirements.

The 6-slot Exp200 provides more optional modules with a 6 Gbps SATA storage AMC and a 16-core Cavium-based packet processor.   The 6-slot chassis has PCIe Gen 2 across the fat pipes (ports 4-7) and an option for 10 GbE on ports 8-11.  Both the EXP100 and EXP200 have the OS pre-installed (on processor).   The covers of the 1U chassis are easily removable for prototyping and development. 

The Express Development Platforms are available to ship quickly with a stock to 1 week lead time.  A version for 40G/MicroTCA.4 will be available in Q4 2014. The company also provides various MicroTCA/AMC-based test and development modules.   For more information on VadaTech’s Express Platform program, visit www.vadatech.com
