Many leading telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) are moving towards a commercial off the shelf (cots) based sourcing model, thanks to wider acceptance of industry standards.
This move to cots has brought a new class of computer: the communications server, architected to address exploding demand for highly available, dependable and reliable communications platforms to enable and deliver enhanced packet centric services.
A growing number of TEMS have selected AdvancedTCA (ATCA) for their network infrastructure, believing it will become a significant standard for next generation communications servers.
There is a key requirement for vendors and users of ATCA products to realise the potential benefits of a communications server based on the standard: to identify and select a single set of interoperable products that can be applied cost effectively across the broadest possible market. Achieving this goal will maximise equipment reuse and help deliver economies of scale.
