RemDevIO – Remote Device I/O Software
Meeting the Challenges of ATCA for Application & I/O
Scalability
Remote Device I/O is an innovative software offering that delivers
I/O
scalability while retaining direct access to host processing power
at
a viable price point. RemDevIO allows an application to control and
utilize remote AMC devices as if they were local to the host processor.
SBCs with one or two AMC bays run the server-side of
the RemDevIO application while a thin client runs on one or more
Application Host SBCs. With minimal overhead, I/O resources
can be expanded from one to many blades and AMC cards.
ATCA Carrier Blades, such as the AdaxPacketRunner provide
I/O scalability, however the challenge remains that high-density I/O
configurations can still be cost-prohibitive, especially where application
scalability is more important than the I/O resources. To be successful
and cost-effective, distributed signaling solutions need the host
processor applications to be able to access I/O resources located both
locally on the SBC and on remote carrier blades. Adax RemDevIO
successfully meets this challenge.
RemDevIO Configuration Examples:
Application Scalability – one of the many options is the Any-to-Any
Configuration where any number of SBCs can access any number of
remote Adax resources on more than one carrier blade:
I/O Scalability – one of the options is the One-to-One Configuration
where the host CPU can access one or more Adax protocol controllers
remotely, as if they were located on the host processor SBC. The ‘remote’ Adax
cards sit on an ATCA carrier blade in the same chassis and appear to
the host application as if they were a ‘local’ resource:
