New ‘sweet-spot’ for COTS performance for C4ISR and HPEC applications is fabric agnostic

Today’s processors are outpacing I/O bandwidth, 40Gbps I/O takes a step towards closing the gap. The newest member of Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions’ Fabric40™ family, the VPX6-1958 is a rugged, high performance 6U OpenVPX™ single board computer that combines Intel® 4th generation Core™i7-4700EQ processor with a dual 40 Gbps backplane I/O interconnect. The VPX6-1958 provides support for 10/20/40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and SDR/DDR/QDR/FDR-10 InfiniBand® (IB) connectivity. System designers have the option to select the fabric protocols, whether 10 or 40 Gbps Ethernet or the 10/20/40 Gbps IB, that best suit their application’s unique requirements.
