ARTESYN MaxCore™ Micro Platform

Provides cost-effective, scalable and versatile compute and acceleration platform Artesyn Embedded Technologies has recently introduced a compact new compute and acceleration platform versatile enough for applications ranging from small cell baseband processing, scalable video streaming/ encoding, video surveillance and ‘bump-in-the-wire’ monitoring to industrial computing. The MaxCore™ Micro is a cost-effective, enterprise-class chassis which holds a host server card and contains an additional slot for any PCI Express add-in card. This card can be from Artesyn or customers can use any third-party off-the-shelf cards to provide application-specific functionality and create a complete application platform. While the MaxCore Micro can stand-alone as a complete system, its form factor allows three chassis to be fitted side-by-side in a 19-inch rack. The platform can be deployed in a wide range of environments, from a 19-inch rack to wall-mount. A power budget of 150 watts per slot means it is possible to build a system with as many as 48 Intel® Xeon® D cores per compact chassis, using two dual-processor 12-core add-in cards such as Artesyn’s SharpServer™ PCIE-7410 card. Dan Leih, Product Manager for Artesyn Embedded Technologies said, “Working with lead customers, we have developed several use cases for the MaxCore Micro – ranging from a small cell VRAN digital baseband unit (BBU) to an HEVC video capture and encoder system. This underlines the versatility of this platform, supported by switchless PCIe connectivity between the slots at up to 50 Gbps and the wide availability of off-the-shelf PCIe add-in cards.”

Pyronix Octopus DQ Detector

Pyronix has launched Octopus DQ, the detector that delivers the alternate solution for any large areas. The Octopus DQ takes a different approach to detection. Instead of fitting various detectors at varying angles to cover large or awkward areas, fitting one Octopus DQ can perfectly protect from above. It utilises a quad element passive infrared (PIR) sensor, giving better intruder catch performance when compared with traditional dual element ceiling mount PIR sensors. It is a more cost effective and secure solution for any installation. “We have developed this quad zone PIR detector with the installer and user in mind,” said Laurence Kenny, Pyronix Marketing Manager, “We want our products to provide superior, easy and convenient solutions for any detection needs and the Octopus DQ exemplifies this. With 360º coverage, superior plastics and optimised installation, it can be fitted to cover aisles in shops, office spaces, warehouses; absolutely anywhere that a single traditional detector would struggle.”
