This project belongs to the new generation information technology industry, which is the development focus of strategic emerging industries in Shanghai's "12th Five-Year Plan" plan. This project is based on the " ATCA Core General Technology Platform" established by the Shanghai City Science and Technology Commission in the Shanghai Broadband Center, and based on the standards and specifications of the International Organization for Standardization PICMG and the overall development trend of the ATCA industry, the OptiWay-T ATCA system is developed and commercialized.
ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) is an advanced telecommunications computing platform. It is a fully open, modular and interoperable telecommunications industry standard formulated by the international standards organization PICMG. Its core technologies include high-speed switching backplane, ShMC intelligent management, frame-board level openness and high compatibility, and system-level optimized thermal design, providing a high-speed, high-density, open interoperability for the new generation of telecommunications networks and computing equipment. Operation and energy-saving rack-level software and hardware solutions.
The era of big data has promoted a new round of development in the ATCA industry. However, ATCA technology has encountered bottleneck problems in terms of transmission rate, chassis density and heat dissipation. This project aims to develop a high-speed, high-density and high-heat dissipation performance universal telecommunications computing system that conforms to ATCA standards. The main innovative achievements of the project are as follows:
- The project completed the design of the OptiWay-T ATCA system, innovatively proposed a dual-backplane extended ATCA chassis architecture, and designed the traditional service interface tailboard to expand its co-processing capabilities in accordance with the ATCA standard size, realizing the highest density in the industry. 28-slot high-density ATCA system;
- The system product adopts a 10G differential wire pair design and realizes a 40G serial bus design. The backplane supports bidirectional 40G transmission capabilities, and the single board has 80G access traffic and processing capabilities. The single board transmission rate is higher than that of PICMIG3.0 standard products. It has increased by 4 times, and the processing capacity of the single-box system reaches 1.92Tbps;
- The system product adopts Q-FAN system heat dissipation design. The operable power of the board is increased from 300W in the PICMIG standard to 600W, and the heat dissipation capacity reaches CP-TA B.4, which is the highest level in the industry;
- Through the development of co-processing daughter cards such as DPI, IPSEC, and D16E1, this solution realizes the successful commercialization of Load Balancer blades and signaling blades. The stand-alone frame integrates computing, storage and network capabilities, making it a leader in the industry.
- A total of 9 patents have been applied for this project, including 5 invention patents, 4 utility model patents, 6 authorized patents, including 5 invention patents, 1 utility model patent, 5 software copyrights have been applied, and 3 papers have been published., 1 industry technology white paper.
The project products are widely used in many fields such as FemtoCell, media, signaling, security gateway, DPI & Traffic Shaping and content-based Traffic Management, with a cumulative output value of more than 300 million yuan, a profit of 75.5 million yuan, and a tax revenue of 31.6 million yuan. In cooperation with the PICMG/P.R.C Standardization Organization to promote, relevant technologies have been introduced into the PICMIG3.7 international standard, achieving good social and economic benefits.
This project has been connected to the Guangdong Province Telecom Broadband User Behavior Analysis System to complete the collection and analysis of 7300G broadband traffic; the construction of 24 pairs of data collection and diversion equipment for 40G lines has been completed in Guangzhou and Shenzhen respectively, forming a 1.92T data capacity access; 40G diversion platform projects have been built in Nanjing and Wuxi respectively, which has formed a medium scale; Since its commercial use, the operation has been stable and reliable, with no major failures overall, good user feedback, and important customers such as the Tenth Research Institute of Telecommunication Science and Technology.
After expert appraisal, the relevant results of the project have many innovative features and have been widely used and implemented in telecommunications backbone networks, mobile core networks and data centers. They are of great significance to the future development of ATCA and have reached the international advanced level.
