The ATCA Handbook

The ATCA Handbook is a reference for the Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture, an open-standard blade server. ATCA servers can support blades and components from multiple vendors in the same chassis. ATCA is becoming widely used in the telecom and military environments where high reliability (to 5 9's), environmental resilience and fast MTTR are import. This book explains the concepts of ATCA and illustrates them with specific implementation examples and configurations. Real-world considerations and issues are addressed, as are the various networking configurations possible. The ATCA Handbook also contains reference tables, diagrams, a glossary and an extensive index, making it a valuable day-to-day reference as well.
