V8200 Development Platform
Programmable 10GbE for High Bandwidth Applications
Overview
AdvancedIO Systems’ V8200 10GbE Development Platform is designed to enable customers to rapidly develop real-time 10GbE line-rate applications for network monitoring, security and sensor system applications. Geared towards emerging high-bandwidth network situational awareness and monitoring applications, the V8200 Development Platform has many features that make the system attractive to those involved in R&D initiatives with 10 Gigabit protocols. The modular architecture of the platform and its software, expressXG Framework, ensures the entire system is scalable and expands to include other applications.
AdvancedIO expressXG™ Framework
The expressXG Framework software included with the V8200 Development Platform is a feature-rich solution that is ideal for the development of network monitoring and security applications and high-bandwidth communication applications on FPGAs. The framework allows developers to focus on implementing their applications and DPI algorithms rather than on creating platform infrastructure. In addition, running expressXG Framework significantly speeds the development process and enables application portability among AdvancedIO platforms, safeguarding an organization’s investment in application development.
Open Standards-based MicroTCA Form Factor
The V8200 conforms to the MicroTCA standard and provides hot-swap control and system management functionality to accommodate reconfiguration or updates in the field. The V8200 includes:
- Two AdvancedIO V3021 network monitoring AdvancedMC™ (AMC) modules, each supporting 2 front-panel SFP+ 10GBASE-SR optical Ethernet interfaces and one front-panel RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interface
- A high-performance system controller AdvancedMC module, featuring the Intel® Core 2 Duo processor and Intel 3100 Chipset
- A MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH) module for central management and data switching functionality for XAUI and Gigabit Ethernet backplane switching fabrics
- A dedicated fat pipe connection on the backplane between adjacent slots providing ultra low-latency data connection between AMC modules
