A strategic partnership has been announced between Telco Systems and Advantech to deliver integrated 40G ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) platforms. As a result of this partnership, Telco System’s carrier-grade switching software technology and blades will be brought to Advantech’s Networks and Telecom Group.

 “The partnership gives customers a competitive advantage as we combine state-of-the-art switching, advanced load balancing, traffic management, and classification with the massive performance of next generation packet, signal and application processors. The resulting scalable systems will meet the most demanding requirements imposed by network and mobile security, deep packet inspection and video workloads,” stated Franz Wei, vice president of Advantech.

“By reducing project risk and complexity at the system level, our OEM customers can get to market faster and more affordably with tested and dependable solutions. This will help our customers overcome the capacity challenges they are facing and respond more efficiently to increasing end customer demand,” Wei added.

In other Advantech news, TMCnet recently reported that company officials noted that quality of service (QoS) "has been much used to imply a more specific attribute of quality as well as a feature that allows control over specific traffic flows." Earlier this month, Advantech introduced a series of embedded boards based on the new second-generation Intel (News - Alert).
