Small-scale systems standardisation for harsh environments
Vendor implementation flexibility and component interoperability are prioritised with the formation of the VNX marketing alliance, announces trade association VITA. The association is dedicated to promoting ANSI (American National Standards Institute)-accredited, open system architectures in critical embedded system applications.
The purpose of the alliance is to establish an ecosystem of interested parties that promotes and creates name recognition, as well as grow adoption of the VITA 74 NanoX Small Form Factor specification and technology.
VITA 74 defines both mechanical and electrical specifications to implement a small form factor system. The specification addresses a need for a standardised approach to small-scale systems to be used in rugged environment applications, and encourages multiple vendors to supply components for use in small systems, including modules, backplanes, enclosures and integrated systems.
“Emerging new small form factor system standards are gaining interest from system architects designing computing platforms for rugged applications. The mission of the VNX Marketing Alliance is to spread awareness of the value the VITA 74 NanoX technology brings to the market,” stated Wayne McGee, Chairman, VNX Marketing Alliance. “At the same time, we are promoting the VNX product and service offerings of our member companies.”
The VITA 74 NanoX Small Form Factor specification was released in late 2013 as a VITA Draft Standard for trial use. The next step is for full ANSI/VITA ratification, which is currently underway.
