Medical Imaging Systems impose limitations and constraints on systems designers that are juggling performance, cost, and reliability in these valuable diagnostic tools. StarFabric provides a system interconnect that removes performance roadblocks within the various chassis and between the system components. In addition to expanding the range and performance of the PCI interconnect, StarFabric allows systems to identify individual datastreams for prioritized delivery. View whitepaper PDF.
Today's Communication Equipment often features redundant data planes and switch blades, but don't provide redundant control planes. PCI based control planes create a single point of failure and are difficult to scale. Ethernet based control planes are also difficult to scale and carry significant processor overhead. StarFabric offers a scalable, high speed interconnect that offers redundancy and is connects through the PCI interface with no required software changes. View presentation PDF.
Embedded systems designers have long adopted the PCI bus due to its base of supported hardware and software. PCI bridges enabled limited growth of PCI based systems, but severe limitations still inhibit the scalability of PCI based systems. StarFabric breaks through these barriers and brings a wealth of additional benefits. StarFabric allows high speed communication between PCI buses at full bandwidth over cables at distances of 40 feet. StarFabric has the capability of providing path redundancy and quality of service based on traffic classes. This capability gives rise to new system architectures that are free to place system resources on the fabric to optimize performance, scalability and reliability. Download presentation PDF.
