SPARC CPU-8VT

Superior performance

with redundancy features

for business critical

applications

SPARC CPU-8VT — SPARCstation 5 compatibility with TurboSPARC performance in a single 6U VMEbus slot. The SPARC® CPU-8VT further enhances FORCE COMPUTERS single-slot SPARC family bringing TurboSPARC performance and redundancy features to your telecommunications and C3I applications.

The addition of an external cache for the TurboSPARCTM doubles the performance of the fastest microSPARC CPU, while retaining the major microSPARC advantages of low power consumption and compact design.

Couple this powerful CPU core with the integral workstation-type I/O found on the CPU-8VT and you have the ideal platform to develop and deploy powerful Solaris® and real-time applications. Further enhance this I/O with an integral second SCSI and a second Ethernet channel and you have a board that fulfils the typical requirements of most common high-availability and network routing applications without the necessity of adding SBus cards.

Full compatibility with the established CPU-5VT provides a seamless upgrade path, extending our portfolio of high volume, premium price/performance embedded SPARC solutions for your applications. Facts...... and features
