ZT5088

The Intel^® NetStructure™ ZT 5088 12U General Purpose Packet Switched Platform is an extremely flexible, high-availability platform, configurable for both compute-intensive and I/O-intensive applications. It is one of several telecom building blocks from Intel, built on the PICMG* 2.16 specification, providing OEM equipment designers with carrier-grade, standards-based solutions. This high-capacity CompactPCI* platform features innovative power and cooling. In addition to its high-availability features, the ZT 5088 platform is highly modular, scalable, and extremely serviceable. It is designed to interoperate with the entire Intel^® NetStructure™ family of packet switched backplane products, and with third-party boards meeting the PICMG 2.16 specifications.

The ZT 5088 platform supports five-nines (99.999%) availability with built-in redundancy for active system components including Ethernet switches, chassis management modules, power supplies and fan trays. Redundant chassis management modules enable customers to manage multiple SBCs and conduct chassis diagnostics remotely for enhanced system reliability.

The ZT 5088 platform routes Ethernet signals across the backplane without the use of cables, saving time in set-up, maintenance and repair, and minimizing the thermal challenges of traditional cabling methods.
