FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEXCOM
Launches TCA 6710 1U Rackmount Powered by Arm-Based COM-HPC Module
Powered
by Marvell OCTEON 10, Optimal for HPC, Edge and Cloud Computing
Taipei, Taiwan – March
19, 2024 – NEXCOM is pleased to announce availability of
its TCA 6710, a 1U rackmount edge and cloud computing appliance with
the Marvell® OCTEON 10 COM-HPC module. The COM-HPC standard enables
modular and scalable computing solutions with server-class bandwidth,
power, and performance. This COM-HPC module represents the next
generation of COM-E (COM Express) technology, with significantly
improved performance. It is based on open standards, developed by the
industry consortium, PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers
Group).
The TCA 6710 and COM-HPC module combination meets the growing demand
for high-performance, low-power, but flexible computing platforms for
wide-ranging applications including IoT, edge server, AI, and network
security, requiring less time and effort for software porting and
development.
High
Performance Arm Computing Core for Edge and Cloud
The COM-HPC module is powered by the Marvell OCTEON 10 CN10308 – an
8-core processor that leverages the latest Arm v9 Neoverse N2
architecture and delivers nearly three times the performance of the
previous generation. Moreover, Marvell’s OCTEON 10 DPU (Data Processing
Unit) slashes power consumption by 50 percent compared to the previous
OCTEON generation, so provides advanced performance per watt (compared
to the OCTEON TX2 CN9130). The carrier board supports PCIe Gen 5 and
the OCTEON module supports DDR5, offering the highest memory and I/O
bandwidth in its class.
Fullscale
Wireless and Wired Connectivity
The TCA 6710 carrier board offers rich Ethernet capabilities, with
speeds from 1GbE up to 25GbE—to support diverse network connectivity
and throughput requirements suitable for almost any edge or cloud
application. The system also provides wireless communication options,
such as Wi-Fi and LTE/5G to enable seamless data transmission and
management. Additionally, the TCA 6710 supports the NEXCOM TPM 2.0
module and RunBMC (Baseboard Management Controller) module for enhanced
security and remote management capabilities.
Modular,
Flexible and Extendable
The TCA 6710’s modular design allows for easy customization and
upgradability. Users can also choose from different carrier boards that
provide various features and interfaces to suit their specific needs.
Little effort is required with software on the COM-HPC module when a
different carrier board is adopted. This design offers advantages such
as time and cost savings in adapting to various applications, and
maintaining effective functionality years into the future. This
flexible and open design enables customers to procure COM-HPC modules
separately, and seamlessly integrate them with their own carrier boards.
A
Cutting-Edge Arm-based Edge and Cloud Computing Solution
As a leading provider of innovative and reliable networking solutions,
NEXCOM has designed this new TCA 6710 and COM-HPC module combination as
a high-performance edge and cloud computing appliance that showcases
NEXCOM’s commitment to innovative and reliable products that meet
evolving customer needs. The TCA 6710 is ideal for applications that
require high I/O and computing capabilities, such as IoT, edge server,
AI, and network security. With its modular and flexible design, the TCA
6710 can also be customized and upgraded to fit different scenarios and
demands.
