Mercury Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:MRCY), a leading high-tech commercial
provider of more affordable secure and sensor processing subsystems
powering today's critical defense and intelligence applications,
announced the next generation of secure AdvancedTCA™ (ATCA)
server-class compute modules to complement the Company's innovative
Ensemble® portfolio of interoperable building blocks, taking
embedded secure cloud processing to the tactical edge.
"Mercury is a pioneer in both the SWaP-focused OpenVPX™ and
performance-driven ATCA domains," said Didier Thibaud, President of
Mercury's Commercial Electronics business unit. "Expanding upon our
extensive ATCA history, our next generation of secure ATCA building
blocks is the seamless union of the best ATCA commercial technology
and our dense OpenVPX processing and systems integrity
technologies. These building blocks are designed and manufactured
in the USA, an important criterion in defense electronics where the
provenance and integrity of the supply chain are paramount.
Further, the security features built into these solutions address
our customers' and the DoD's requirements for trusted computing,
essential for securing the mission."
Mercury's secure ATCA Ensemble building blocks leverage OpenVPX
processing densities and the Company's advanced, fourth generation
server-class thermal management technologies for maximum processing
capability and reliable operation. Personalized system integrity
solutions leveraging Mercury, customer, and third party IP are
achieved by utilizing the company's advanced domain expertise
across product lines.
The first versions of Mercury's secure ATCA processing building
blocks include the Ensemble HDS8613 dual Intel® Xeon® server-class
processor blade and the Ensemble SFM8104 40Gb/s Ethernet/InfiniBand
switch. The HDS8613 high density server (HDS) blade's dual 12-core
processors with Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2) and full Intel
QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) are supported with up to 128GB
DDR4-2133 SDRAM to deliver a combined 1.38 TFLOPS of
general-purpose processing power. The blade supports multiple
system integrity solutions and is equipped with an AMC mezzanine
site for the broadest system integration versatility available.
The SFM8104 secure ATCA switch fabric module (SFM) supports
either 40Gb/s Ethernet or InfiniBand™ and uses advanced signal
routing techniques that enable switch fabric speeds unrestricted by
bit error rates. Both the processor blade and switch fabric module
are packaged in single-slot, 8U ATCA modules and share
ruggedization and cooling enhancements inherited from their OpenVPX
pedigree. Mercury's secure ATCA Ensemble portfolio leverages the
best commercial technology from the industrial base to support the
U.S. Department of Defense's Better Buying Power requirements for
modular open system architectures, affordability and
exportability.
"Expect to see new building blocks being added to Mercury's
secure ATCA ecosystem quickly," said Ian Dunn, Vice President of
Mercury Systems' Embedded Products group. "New modules will include
innovative capabilities not previously available on ATCA modules,
including FPGA and additional mezzanine resources that will
redefine mission capabilities, especially in regards to
compute-intense sensor processing chain applications in the radar,
EW, mission systems and EO/IR domains."
Ensemble ATCA subassemblies that include both processor blades
and switch fabric modules are currently shipping from the Company's
Chelmsford, Mass. facility. Additional secure ATCA modules are
expected to be launched later this year.
