Kontron Chassis Control KCC
The Kontron Chassis Control (KCC) offers a robust and flexible ecosystem for advanced chassis management, particularly in ruggedized or high-availability environments.
- Network: 2× IP interfaces (1× 1000BASE-T + 1× 1000BASE-KR); IPMB-A and IPMB-B connecting to the respective System IPMBs
- Local I/O: up to 32 GPIO lines, temperature sensor inputs and voltage measurement inputs
- Processor: NXP i.MX8M Mini SoM — quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1.6 GHz, 1 GB LPDDR4, 8 GB eMMC
- Management: Redfish (HTTPS/TLS) and IPMI 2.0 (legacy); VITA 46.11-2022 Tier-2 Chassis Manager
- Security: Secure Boot, signed firmware updates, SBOM (CRA-ready); operating range −40 °C to +85 °C
Product Information
Secure, VITA-Compliant System Management
The KCC is a centralized management powerhouse built for VPX and modular systems. Combining a quad-core ARM processor (NXP i.MX8M Mini SoM) with redundant communication, it delivers elite health monitoring, power management, and cooling control in a secure, scalable package.
Why Choose KCC?
- VITA 46.11 Certified: Native Tier-2 Chassis Management ensures seamless compatibility and status monitoring for all VPX ecosystems.
- Next-Gen Security (CRA Ready): Built “Secure-by-Design” to meet Cyber Resilience Act standards, featuring robust vulnerability management (SBOM) and automated security updates.
- Modern API Integration: While supporting legacy IPMI, the KCC prioritizes Redfish (RESTful API) with HTTPS/TLS encryption for human-readable, data-center-ready integration.
- Zero-Lag Deployment: Go live in minutes. Our state-of-the-art web UI provides real-time visualization and event handling without requiring deep programming expertise.
- Scriptable Automation: Use our integrated configuration language to define custom event triggers and complex logic for automated exception handling.
