AdvancedTCA, the new carrier grade server and I/O blades standard, allows telecoms equipment manufacturers to reduce up their time-to- market and cut their development costs by

AMCs: In order to ensure adaptation to various applications, a corresponding mezzanine con- cept was developed in the course of ATCA standardization: The new AMC speciﬁcation

migrating from propriety hardware to open architecture applications. The modular com- munications platforms approach allows systems to achieve high levels of service availability, scalability and performance.

Benefits of AdvancedTCA

Scalable shelf capacity to 2.5Tb/s

System availability up to 99.999%

Robust power infrastructure and large cooling capacity

High levels of modularity and conﬁgurability

Ease of integration of multiple functions and new features

Convergence of telco access, core, optical, and datacenter functions

Full security and regulatory conformance (NEBS, ETSI)

(Advanced Mezzanine Card, deﬁned by the PICMG committee) adds some important tech- nical innovations to the PMC model (PCI Mezzanine Card) in order to achieve, among other advances, carrier-grade „five nines“ availability at carrier level. AMCs are ﬂexible, powerful and simple to integrate into the ATCA concept. In addition, they can also be employed on proprietary (manufacturers‘ own) platforms.
