3U VPX module provides extreme data bandwidth capability

Expanding the company’s 533x 3U VPX storage family, Elma Electronic introduce a high speed controller and storage module. Supporting up to eight SATA III ports and over 2TB of onboard capacity in a single 3U VPX slot, the Model 5335/6 is suited for applications demanding exceptional characteristics in both data capacity and read/write performance.

The Model 5335/6 is seen as a PCIe Gen2 x 8 connection to the host as it provides the link to a storage array where capacities exceed 8TB across four slots and where data bandwidth exceeds 1GB/s.

With RAID 0/1/5/10 support, the storage array system can be configured to maximise bandwidth or provide data redundancy for critical applications. The onboard controller provides an additional six SATA III backplane ports for building a high performance, high capacity storage array using Elma’s 553x family of dual-drive storage carriers across four total slots.

The rugged modules perform reliably in the harsh conditions found in many defence and industrial applications, ranging from ground, ship- and airborne systems to signal intelligence, engine and automation control and mission critical information systems.

Using solid state drives, the convection-cooled versions operate from -40 to +85°C and the conduction-cooled versions operate from -40 to +75°C. Consult Elma for higher temperature requirements. Operating shock of all boards is 40Gs at 11ms, half-sine wave; vibration is 2Gs from 15-2,000Hz.

Pricing for the units typically starts at $1,600 (USD) depending on the version and drive choice. Delivery is 10-12 weeks ARO.
