For example, if a system has an optimal response time of 10 microseconds and, in a degraded mode, the response time is 15 microseconds, then a slightly degraded response time can easily be tolerated for the relatively small amount of time it will take to
hot swap the faulty assembly with a ready spare.
"Pigeon Point Systems is a recognized expert in the software aspects of CompactPCI
hot swap. The Pigeon Point
Hot Swap Kit for Linux is a welcome addition to their well-regarded HSK for Windows product," observed Joe Pavlat, of Cypress Point Research and President of the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG -- developer of the CompactPCI specifications).
Very simply,
Hot Swap is the capability to support live extraction and insertion in PCI-based server systems.
For FastTrak Serial ATA RAID adapter users, the combination of
hot swap capability with RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5 provides high-availability and enhanced reliability that is ideal for use in small server applications.
SNAZ R6 is based on the Raidtec nEngine FlashLinux platform, and features six
hot swap drives bays, optional Integrated Tape Drive, and LVD SCSI interface for additional external local storage or tape backup devices.
The computer, designed for data centers or other users of high performance computers, features 2816 Intel Xeon cores, 5,632GB of RAM and 2,816 Tb of
hot swap storage.
Several different connector choices are available for "
hot swap" capability.
Designed for extending PBX tie lines, router connects and DS-3 multiplexer links, the modular 2346 T-3 Fiber Optic Modem, with
hot swap capability, provides reliable long-distance extension of T-3/DS-3 signals operating at 44.736 Mbps.
It plugs directly into an Ethernet switch on the Local Area Network (LAN) and as a LAN File Server, it serves multi-protocol files to heterogeneous clients, with up to 430GB of local
hot swap RAID protected storage.
This power monitoring, combined with a wide input voltage range of -12V to -100V and
Hot Swap capabilities, make the LTC4261 appropriate for high availability telecom/network equipment.
