SYSTEM OVERVIEW (SBC + WSIO)
Mated to the Great Albatross VME200 SBC basecard, the VME200-WSIO “Great Albatross Plus” is the first of its kind Intel^® Xeon^® D 6U VME SBC module based on GMS’s upgradable CPU “computing engine” technology. It is designed to provide the highest level of server performance possible in a ruggedized, dual-slot VME card. It may be operated in all VME 0.8 pitch backplanes in VME64 or VME64x form factors with 3-row or 5-row connectors or an optional P0 interconnect. The Great Albatross single-board computer is the highest performance VME SBC in the market with vast I/O options and an upgradable CPU for extended life cycle applications.

When the Workstation I/O (WSIO) mezzanine is added to the SBC, the two-slot assembly adds up to 3x PMC, 2x XMC, and 1x MXM.

Great Albatross supports the latest, most power-efficient Intel^® Xeon^® processor D with Hyper-Threading for a total of up to 16 physical cores (32 logical cores) operating up to 1.5 GHz and having the ability to Turbo Boost up to 2.1 GHz. To harvest this incredible performance, the CPU is coupled with up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM organized in two banks with ECC support. All these Xeon^® D cores coupled with Great Albatross Plus’s I/O can be used to create multiple virtual machines (VMs) replacing up to 32 separate single-processor systems.

APPLICATIONS
Great Albatross is designed to provide the ultimate and first-of-its-kind micro-server class VME SBC replacement of multiple legacy VME SBCs (x86 or PowerPC™) with a single SBC utilizing Intel’s Virtualization Technology (VT-x/VT-d2). Furthermore, with the Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), the SBC is secure from unauthorized boot devices and unauthorized replications of the system.

The VME200-WSIO is ideal for data centers, factory automation, medical, and defense applications, where big investments have been made on a VME platform and where true hard “Real Time” is required. No other bus architecture can provide this hard “Real Time” performance like VME. The Great Albatross may be ordered from the factory with operating systems such as Windows^®, Linux^®, or RTOS pre-installed.
