On-board load balancing and filtering functions, hardware accelerated crypto engines and powerful server CPUs combine with multiple 10/40/100G Ethernet switch interfaces provide a line-rate processing engine.

It comprises two Intel Xeon processors with up to 40 CPU cores per board. Data paths to main memory and I/O are optimised by the use of DDR4 and PCIe Gen 3 protocols. Memory capacity can scale up to 512 GB.

Combining an open source operating system, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, with OpenStack, the ATCA-7490 resources are accessible and sharable in cloud environments.
