Description
The 4th generation of NAT-MCH is the successor of the 3rd generation of NAT-MCH, which - after more than 18 years of successful deployments - is coming to its end of life now. The 4th generation MCH provides a lot of improvements and new features and functions, such as 10GbE base switch with 25GbE uplinks, new 40/100GbE fat pipe hub with 10/40/100GbE uplinks, new PCIe Gen 4 fat hub, new CLK module with replacement for IDT multiplexer, new web and harmonized CLI interface in order to name a few. Also, the 4th generation MCH is MTCA.0 Rev 3 compliant and has been designed to meet the upcoming requirements addressed by the next generation of MicroTCA as close as possible already. To ensure product continuity, the family of NAT-MCHs of the 4th generation include ready-to-go products for science and research, similar to the NAT-MCH-PHYs and NAT-MCH-PHYS80. After a short overview comparing the 3rd generation NAT-MCH with its 4th generation, N.A.T. will explain how existing customers can easily migrate to the 4th generation MCH in existing applications.
