Fujitsu Technology Solutions Selects AppliedMicro’s QT2225 PHY ICs for High-Speed 10GBASE-KR Backplane Server Interconnect
May 18 2009 - 8:45AM
Business Wire
AppliedMicro (NASDAQ:AMCC), a global leader in silicon solutions
to process, transport and store applications, today announced that
Fujitsu Technology Solutions, a leading European IT infrastructure
provider, has selected AppliedMicro�s QT2225 10GBASE-KR physical
layer device (PHY) for 10-Gigabit per second Ethernet connectivity
over copper traces for its PRIMERGY BX900 Blade System.
�Ethernet backplane serial connectivity at 10 Gbps data rate is
highly desirable for server virtualization and consolidation
applications but it must come with robust performance and low
cost,� said Bernhard Brandwitte, director of Product Marketing for
x86 Servers at Fujitsu Technology Solutions. �AppliedMicro�s QT2225
device brings that high-speed connectivity to server backplanes
through 10GBASE-KR application. The PHY excels in harsh blade
system environments and enables a low per-port system cost through
a high level of integration and reduced system complexity.�
The QT2225 is a low power dual port XAUI-to-10GBASE-KR PHY IC
designed for transmission of serial 10 Gbps Ethernet traffic over
one meter of PCB/backplane. It includes integrated IEEE Std.
802.3apTM-2007 FEC with bypass and can operate in both 10GBASE-KR
and 1000BASE-KX mode. Interoperability has been demonstrated with
other 10GBASE-KR vendors and in multiple blade system
configurations.
�As one of the world�s leading server vendors, Fujitsu
Technology Solutions was concerned about the key design areas that
create bottlenecks in I/O performance. AppliedMicro�s design team
worked closely with Fujitsu to ensure that the QT2225 met the
lossy, high noise conditions of a blade system backplane,� said
Sandeep Gupta, GM of Transport Products at AppliedMicro. �Through
this type of close cooperation, AppliedMicro has developed a PHY
technology that can tackle the demanding conditions of today�s data
centers, placing the company in an ideal position as 10GBASE-KR
technology starts to hit high-volume production.�
