The benefits of converged infrastructure

Cable-less design

From power supplies, fans, controllers, to main boards, Lanner HybridTCA solutions adopt modular designs to simplify maintenance complexity and provide fast, precise technical support and RMA services. Cable-less design eliminates problems associated with cable connections and offers hot-swappability and high level of serviceability.

IEEE 1588 module support for HybridTCA

IEEE 1588 defines the protocols to synchronise the clocks of two hierarchical computing systems, said a master and a slave. Unlike traditional network time protocol (NTP) with synchronisation at few milliseconds, IEEE 1588 further achieves the time precision within tens of nanoseconds.

The implementation of IEEE 1588 is particular beneficial in synchronising the clocks of various applications and services within a computer network infrastructure. In a global-scale enterprise IT network, where services and applications can be highly distributed across the globe, IEEE 1588 can synchronise the clocks between the branch and the headquarter to ensure the records of operations in the same hierarchical orchestrations. In fact, Lanner’s HLM-1030B/C supports IEEE 1588 expansion module.
