Server class processing and networking are very difficult to package into a 6U VPX-sized board. The thermal management and power challenges are very difficult at best. Eurotech subsidiary Parvus has overcome the challenge with the CPU-111-10, a rugged, high-performance 6U VPX SBC featuring a quad-core Intel L5408 Xeon processor and integrated 10 GbE switch to support full-mesh backplane data layer interconnectivity for up to eight SBCs integrated into a single chassis. Providing unparalleled data processing capabilities in a single-slot 6U VPX form factor card with built-in 10 GbE fabric switching, the CPU-111-10 serves as an ideal openarchitecture building block for next-generation Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) applications onboard (un)manned air/ground vehicles and shipboard platforms. The CPU-111-10 is offered in both convection-cooled and ruggedized conduction-cooled variants.
Unparalleled data processing
