The PP B7x/msd is based upon CompactPCI architecture which is a well-developed and extensively deployed platform. This latest board incorporates the Intel® Xeon® processor E-2176M (formerly known as Coffee Lake-H) announced earlier this year, providing a significant performance improvement and enables enhanced storage, graphics, connectivity and security capabilities. The board can be used to substantially extend the life of existing deployments of the CompactPCI form factor.
These boards are typically utilised in long life cycle applications where space is not the critical limiting factor, but extremes of temperature and humidity are issues. Often these boards will be used in maritime operations, typically in central management or command and control applications.
Glen Fawcett, CEO, Concurrent Technologies Plc, commented:
“This CompactPCI product is the third in our range of products featuring the latest 8th generation Intel® processor. The product is designed to support our existing customer base with a technical upgrade from earlier products, as well introducing enhanced security features.“
