Part of our IPnexus® portfolio of products, the
CPC4411 is the fourth-generation 10/100
embedded Ethernet switch from PT, the
market leader in embedded switching.
Compatible with both standard Compact PCI®
and PICMG® 2.16 backplanes, it features
field-hardened software that has been
optimized for use as a high-speed interconnect
within a server blade chassis or as the core
switch in a fault-tolerant cluster of embedded
systems.
The CPC4411 is fully compatible with all
RoHS and WEEE requirements and offers
the increased bandwidth, performance,
and reliability required by high availability
applications, which makes it ideal for use in
defense, IP telephony, and communications.
When installed in a PICMG 2.16 or VITA®
31.1 environment, designers can realize
performance gains of up to nine times that
of current PCI-based architectures.
The CPC4411 has been designed to make
system integration easier, while maximizing
network performance and flexibility. It
features a potent scripting language that can
be used to simplify and automate installation
and maintenance tasks. It also supports
multiple switching topologies (single star, dual
star, and hub and spoke). In redundant
applications, it can provide devices that have
dual Ethernet ports with alternate data paths
in the event of a node or switch failure.
The CPC4411 comes with real-time
diagnostics that can be configured to
continuously check the health of the switch.
If a problem is detected, data can be automatically rerouted to an alternate path and an
error message sent to the system or network
manager.
System MTTR is exceedingly low with dual
switches in place. If one switch fails, the
replacement unit can be configured to obtain
all of its operational and configuration
information from the partner switch or from
an external manager, making change-out of
failed modules as simple as a hot-swap. The
new unit simply “clones” its setup from the
configuration stored on the surviving switch.
With no active components on its rear panel
I/O cards, failed units can easily be replaced
without disturbing cables or other blades in
the chassis.
The CPC4411 also protects investments for
the long term with easy FTP/TFTP updates to
platform flash memory. System software is
available through downloads from the web
site (www.pt.com), which greatly simplifies or
eliminates the need for dedicated on-site
network administration.
