A
Better Approach to Building Network Appliances.
SILICOM’s SETAC combines the
advantages of today’s approaches:
Standard Server
-
Function-specific software
|
|
Hardware Appliance
- Proprietary
design
- Proprietary
add-on modules
|
PROs:
(Supported by SETAC)
- “Branded” servers with
server-grade reliability
- Stable
state-of-the-art technological environment
- Lower cost per unit
|
CONs:
- Server look & feel
(doesn’t “feel” like an appliance)
- Inconvenient back
connectivity
- Not modular – can’t
reconfigure without opening the server, therefore can’t be reconfigured
in the field
|
|
PROs:
(Supported by SETAC)
- Easy to reconfigure
(modular)
- Looks and feels like
an appliance
- Reliable integration
of networking modules
|
CONs:
- No server-grade
reliability
- Time to market lag
after each new server chip-set generation
- Higher cost
|
Features
of SETAC Appliance:
§
Appliance “look & feel”
§
Front connectivity
§
Server grade reliability
§
Timely support for latest chip sets generations
§
Based on standard servers with front HD trays
§
Based on standard and customized servers chassis
§
Based on Silicom pluggable Express Modules
§
Field replaceable modules – Reseller, Distributor or local branch
can replace Express Module without opening server chassis
§
Backplane supports both Silicom Express Module and hot-swap HD
§
Based on standard PCI-SIG specifications
-
PCI Express – Express Module Electromechanical Specification
Revision 1.0 (2.0)
-
PCI Express External Cabling Specification Revision 1.0 (2.0)
§
PCI Express bit rate of 5Gb/s GEN2 (with consideration for future bit rate)
§
Targeted to Nehalem-based platforms
§
Currently available with Supermicro and Dell platforms. Roadmap includes IBM,
Intel and Tyan platforms as well
§
Based on embedded solutions – up to 7 year product life cycle
