The VX30101, optimized for SWAP-C and featuring a robust design, delivers high-performance heterogeneous computing, integrated AI acceleration, and ultrafast networking capabilities. It is one of the first 3U VPX boards to integrate the new Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 platform.
The combination of the hybrid architecture of the CPU, NPU, and Intel Xe graphics, along with 100Gb Ethernet networking fabrics, PCI Express connectivity, and low-latency memory, allows system designers to consolidate workloads that were previously distributed across multiple boards. The single-slot 3U VPX design, aligned with SOSA®, also provides integrators with a simple migration path for legacy compute blades.
“Our highly interoperable VX30101 board delivers exceptional performance for next-generation high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) architectures,” said Christophe Ferrande, product manager at Kontron. “It provides secure, deterministic edge computing capabilities for mission-critical systems, accelerates the deployment of AI-enabled defense and aerospace applications, and simplifies migration from legacy VPX compute blades to modern, AI-capable architectures. All this comes with the peace of mind of reduced integration risk, lower lifecycle costs, and long-term technical support.”.
Available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled variants, the VX30101 is designed for extended operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. In addition to high-speed Ethernet data throughput for very high-speed sensor and mission data processing, a TSN network acceleration option will be available for customer applications requiring deterministic Ethernet transport.
The Kontron VX30101 is intended for long-term deployment programs with an expected availability of at least 10 years. A dedicated long-term service package is offered beyond the end-of-life date, and a warranty extension of up to 5 years can be provided.
