Standards Based
Industry-standard compliant products make the development and deployment of rugged solutions more efficient in terms of customization, testing, cost, time-to-market, quality, and repeatability while mitigating risk. Advantech's VPX, CPCI and ATCA blades and systems are commercial-off-the-shelf platforms that can be integrated into standard backplanes with guaranteed interoperability between modules, and from module to backplane and chassis as well as compatibility with commonly-used system-level management frameworks.


Intel® Inside
Advantech has been an Intel® partner for over 30 years designing products based on state-of- the-art Intel® technology which today ranges from Intel® AtomTM to Intel® Xeon® Processors. We help speed OEMs to market and accelerate time to revenue by timely introductions of the latest silicon on each of our VPX, CPCI and ATCA products. We enable customers with greater longevity by developing form fit and function follow-ons that allow them to take advantage of the latest processor enhancements while extending the lifecycle of their products in the field.


High Performance
Our military, transportation and industrial products support all the major fabric protocols from Serial RapidIO to PCI Express and Ethernet for the highest speed data throughput across the backplane. With onboard PCI Express Gen. 3, 10GbE and 40GbE support developers are ensured that their applications are running on bare-metal platforms optimized for the highest performance. Local PMC/XMC slots breakout offers an extension for acceleration and FPGA based mezzanines providing even broader options for high performance data preprocessing and offload.


Rugged & Robust
Advantech VPX, CPCI and ATCA blades and integrated systems for mission-critical applications come with the durability and robustness you can expect from a rugged product line. Designed using optimized processors and chipsets from the Intel® embedded range, every blade goes through a rigorous design cycle from the start of its product life with strict design quality assurance procedures and on to extensive production testing. With onboard ECC memory for high reliability and convection cooled technology for optimum power dissipation, Advantech rugged products are designed for the most demanding applications.


Cost Optimized

With a long history in the design and manufacture of high performance embedded equipment, Advantech brings the experience of hundreds of product designs and field deployments based on Intel CPUs and chipsets. Our expertise in cost-optimized designs, coupled with our ability to meet rugged design challenges enables a new generation of COTS products for military and mission critical markets.



Software Flexibility

Advantech platforms are supported by a strong team of software engineers that provides an extensive set of tools for maximum development flexibility with support for Linux, Windows and VxWorks operating systems and pre-built images that streamline integration. Additional advanced features include carrier-grade IPMI v2.0 compliant baseboard management control (BMC) providing health monitoring, remote control as well as fail-safe local and remote BMC and BIOS updates with redundant FLASH chips for improved availability solutions.



Customization
Leading integrators and OEMs are leveraging the advantages of Advantech’s Customized COTS framework, enabling varying levels of customization to standard product. Customized COTS offers much more flexibility over a “standard-product-only” roadmap by supporting changes ranging from branding, cost optimization, and mechanics to the integration of a customer’s proprietary IP. It allows also Advantech to deliver products tailored to meet customer needs without sacrificing the economy of scale offered by standard off-the-shelf. However, if your product is unique and you need full ODM design support, our hardware and software team is also ready to help.


Long Life Cycle
Advantech VPX, CPCI and ATCA products are designed with industrial lifecycles in mind and as such make exclusive use of embedded Intel® Architecture chipsets and processors. This ensures five-year availability of the most critical components. Ownership of our own production facilities gives us to better control over resources during the phase-in of new products and phase-out of older products that have reached end-of-life. This gives our customers an advantage when we schedule the production of large, last-time-buy orders. This typically allows lifecycles of 7 years or more depending on negotiated last time contracts.
