ATCA Design Considerations for Telecommunication Platforms
This whitepaper reviews the Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA or ATCA) standard and the benefits that it delivers to Original Equipment Manufactures (OEMs) and Carriers. ATCA addresses the market need for cost optimization at the system and infrastructure levels by enabling an ecosystem of carrier-grade off-the shelf chassis, I/O and processing blades. This paper describes some of the hardware...

High Availability Issues and Challenges when Designing an ATCA System
In the United States, there is a mandate from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to push telecom service providers to make their telephone services highly available. The idea is that anyone should be able to pick up a phone and call for help. When designing a High Availability (HA) platform, system architects often have to deal with many parameters ranging from hardware to software, number of ports, number of subscribers, amount...

The Impact Of ATCA On Telecom Economics
Our calculations suggest the huge potential of ATCA/MicroTCA to transform the networking industry. The comparison is not entirely apples-toapples, in that the intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) software used to manage our ATCA equipment is less capable than Cisco’s IOS or Juniper’s JUNOS. However, we have no doubt that over time, IPMI as an open standard

Service Availability Forum
Currently, high availability solutions are implemented with proprietary hardware and software, which results in high development costs and lengthy time to market, in addition to limiting software innovation. The answer is an ecosystem of open, standards-based systems and components designed and managed for ultra-dependability.
