System Manufacturers

Time to Market

vSMP Foundation Embedded comes with a complete suite of tools to streamline the manufacturing process and support of vSMPowered systems. ScaleMP offers reference-design, design assistance and project management services for partners interested in creating systems based on vSMP Foundation Embedded. vSMPowered systems provide best time-to-market with over 90% off-the-shelf Bill of Materials (BOM) minimizing R&D investment and design time while maximizing return on investment. More importantly, system manufacturers can rapidly build new generations of high-end systems by incorporating the latest component technology in ever-reduced product life cycles.

Aggregate

vSMP Foundation Embedded allows system manufacturers to create standards-based, scalable, x86 shared memory systems - at a fraction of the traditional cost, and with minimal R&D investments. ScaleMP's vSMP Foundation Embedded provides all the required services to scale an x86-based system across multiple boards. vSMP Foundation Embedded utilizes InfiniBand interconnect to replace the traditional custom-built system backplane.

vSMP Foundation Devices loaded with vSMP Foundation Embedded are available in multiple form factors and system interfaces (PATA, SATA, USB).

Scale

Application performance is driven by processor performance and system scalability. Performance results from independent application benchmarks from leading ISV's show that vSMPowered systems exceed the performance and scalability of proprietary SMPs, as well as x86 based SMP systems. vSMPowered systems perform comparably to clusters for distributed applications.

Simplify and Save

vSMP Foundation Embedded replaces a design cycle of more than 2 years and a substantial R&D investment to design a high-end x86 system. Using vSMP Foundation Embedded, such a system design can be achieved with substantially reduced R&D expenditures and significant time-savings in design and manufacturing. The lower-cost structure and the faster time-to-market result in cost-effective x86-based SMP system that enables increased profit margins for partners while growing market share.
