Leading performance and energy efficiency in a rugged, carrier-grade design
The CG2100 Carrier Grade Server combines performance, ruggedness, reliability, and long life in a NEBS-3 and
ETSI-compliant 2U chassis. It provides dual socket support for the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series, coupling high performance with power efficiency to provide improved performance-per-watt over previous-generation rack-mount servers.
This high-performing, rugged server is an excellent choice for the demanding environment and limited space of the Telco central office, as well as for network data centers. It enables OEMs and TEMs to create specialized, value-added solutions for a variety of telecom applications including unified messaging, SoIP, call control, media and signaling gateways, and operational system support. In addition, the CG2100 is ideal for other types of rugged applications, such as in the Military and Medical segments, where meeting tough environmental requirements is critical.
The CG2100 has been designed to withstand extreme heat, humidity, altitude and zone 4 earthquake shock
and multiple other extreme environmental conditions in compliance with NEBS-3/ETSI requirements. Also important for the rigid requirements of the telecom central office, the server includes advanced server management and telco alarm management features that provide visual, audible (optional) and SNMP event indications of faults.
In addition to the many benefits long associated with the Kontron Carrier Grade Server family, the CG2100 introduces several new valuable capabilities such as support of PCI-E Gen2, Power Management Bus, DDR3 memory, hot-swap/redundant fans, and increased memory and storage capacity.
