10G AdvancedTCA (News - Alert)-based telecom platform deployment solutions are continuing to increase in popularity thanks to the speed and reliability offered by these products.

In a significant development in the telecom platform deployment industry, SANBlaze (News - Alert) Technology, a provider of storage, networking and multifunction solutions for embedded systems, has acquired Diversified Technology Inc.’s (DTI) AdvancedTCA 10G switch product family. 

As a result of this acquisition, SANBlaze will be better targeting the ever-expanding telecom platform deployment market. The company aspires to become a major supplier of AdvancedTCA storage, compute and network elements as well as complete integrated solutions. 

"Integrating the DTI (News - Alert) ATCA switch line into our existing set of products and services signifies our next step in meeting our goal of providing greater value to our customers and continued commitment to the xTCA market,” said Steve Munroe, president, SANBlaze Technology, in a statement.

SANBlaze now delivers the SB-ATS1936 and SB-ATS1927 10G Ethernet Switch products. Further, it will continue the production and supply of complementary AdvancedMC (News - Alert) (AMC) and Rear Transition Modules (RTM).
