The blade is expected to help network equipment providers to implement solutions such as session border controllers, voice over LTE (VoLTE), video optimisation or video conferencing with fewer blades and therefore less cost.
A modular design allows the blade to scale four DSPs at a time up to 40 DSPs. The blade can be configured as either a 'gateway-on-a-blade', using the on-board X86 processor for packet processing and management in a smaller system, or as a resource blade in a larger system, where server processing may be implemented on a separate dedicated blade in a chassis, and media streams can be routed directly to the DSPs.
"It is critical for carriers to make the management of media streams in their networks more cost-effective, which is exactly what Artesyn is delivering with this new media processing acceleration engine," said Guenter Graf, Product Manager, Artesyn Embedded Technologies. "The ATCA-8330 can cost-effectively replace many traditional servers or other media processing blades when adding voice or video functionality to a communications system and the increased density lowers operating expense for network operators. With up to 960 DSP cores, this new blade offers the highest density of any commercially available blade that we know of, taking the crown from our ATCA-8320 blade, which offered up to 576 cores."
