The AMC590 is a high-performance video/storage/audio AdvancedMC™ module that features the AMD/ATI Radeon™ E2400 video processor and SATA/SAS hard drive interfaces. Integrated into a mid-size, single AMC module, the AMC590 allows system designers to develop complete graphics and/or storage subsystems into their applications in a highly compact form factor that uses standards-based, hot-swappable, NEBS-compliant modules. This module is part of Performance Technologies’ line of AdvancedMC products and MicroTCA™ products and is ideal for any embedded, compute, aerospace and defense, automation, or other graphic-intensive or storage-intensive application.

Video Features

The video block delivers exceptional 2D, 3D, and multimedia graphics with 128 MB of internal GDDR3 memory. Intensive graphics and multimedia applications can take advantage of the dual display support, integrated audio, and up to x8 lane PCI Express® interface when coupled with high-performance compute modules. The AMC590 is compatible with Microsoft® DirectX® 10 and OpenGL® 2.0.

Storage Features

The storage block supports both Serial ATA (SATA) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interfaces through the AMC connector ports. The board accommodates standard 2.5-in. hard drives; with a mid-size front panel for 9mm drives and full-size panel for 15 mm drives. Current SATA drives are capable of scaling beyond 300 GB.



The Port Selector can convert SAS commands to SATA to enable the use of larger capacity SATA drives with compute modules that only support SAS interfaces.

Benefits

Connecting to external network-attached storage can be expensive. It typically requires separate chassis, sparing, cabling, power delivery, and management tools. Integrated storage is easily added to any existing AdvancedMC architecture. Discrete system hard drives and external storage devices can be consolidated inside a single chassis. Sparing, hot-swapping, and infrastructure configuration are simplified, and the mean time to repair is reduced. In short, total cost of ownership for storage is reduced.
