Unprecedented performance gains for
network appliances with the Intel
Atom C2000 family
Benchmark testing from Lanner Electronics has
shown that the new Intel Atom processor C2000
delivers significant performance advantages
and lower cost of ownership for entry to mid-
range communications appliances. This white
paper introduces a series of communications
appliances based on the Intel Atom processor
C2000 product family which unifies computing,
networking, management, virtualization, and
security capabilities in an integrated hardware
architecture.

Nine trends for industrial control and
automation
There are a many existing and developing trends
in industrial control and automation applications
that OEMs and manufacturers alike need to be
concerned with. Nine of these trends are: efficiency,
sustainability, connectivity, security, usability, safety,
integration, scalability, and reliability.
This webinar will dive into these trends in detail
and then discuss how AMD Embedded-Based So-
lutions can help address each of these trends.

Plug-in upgrades with refreshed Intel
Xeon processor E5-2600 v2
The latest Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 family
delivers significant performance enhancements in-
cluding additional processor cores within the ex-
isting power budget (TDP) and are plug-in re-
placements for the previous generation.The result
is a performance upgrade that requires little in-
vestment beyond requalification of the system for
specific applications. In this article we are going
to explore opportunities to upgrade your solutions
to take advantage of the Intel Xeon processor E5-
2600 v2 family without major development costs.
Implementation examples are used fromAssociate
members of the Intel Intelligent Systems Alliance
DFI, Emerson and Hewlett-Packard.

Enabling a new generation of entry
level network appliances
Network appliances are key systems for small and
medium sized enterprises.The Intel Atom processor
C2000 product family (formerly code named Range-
ley) are enabling a new generation of entry level
network appliances that deliver significantly higher
performance using fewer components.The solution
integrates several features that have previously
only been available in systems using multicore
Intel Xeon processors. This article explores the
benefits that the Intel Atom processor C2000
product family brings to network appliances and
other communications systems and uses imple-
mentation examples fromAdvantech and Portwell.

Real-time Ethernet, multi-protocol
switch for PROFINET IRT
Innovasic introduced a Real-time Ethernet, Multi-
protocol (REM) Switch for PROFINET IRT that
can be embedded directly into industrial field de-
vice or controller applications. Tom Weingartner,
Innovasic’s Vice President of Marketing, discusses
the various features of the REM switch including
ist support of multiple protocols and Ethernet
topologies. He also provides a brief overview of
REM’s hardware and software support and ex-
plains the demonstration of PROFINET IRT.
