Network and storage products vendor Team ASA has announced its first “Single Board Networking Computer” (SBNC) with dual processors. The NPWR-DP comes standard with Linux, although Wasabi NetBSD also available. It features two fully independent Intel XScale 80200 processors running at 733MHz, and targets high-performance RAID controllers.

The board measures 5 x 8 inches, and mounting brackets are available for installation in any half-night 5.25-inch drive bay.

Interfaces include:

• Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports via two Cat-5 connectors
• 8 (1.5 Mbs) Serial ATA (SATA) port
• 32/66 Mini PCI socket
• Memory array supports dual SO-DIMM sockets, up to 2 Gigabytes of DDR memory
• 16MB FLASH ROM Disk

“The NPWR-DP is perfect for OEMs who wish to embed a high performance RAID Controller,” claims Team ASA president Mark Murray. “The NPWR-DP gives the user onboard hardware RAID with no degradation in performance across any application.”

Availability

The NPWR-DP is priced at $1,495 in quantities of 100 or more, with dual 733Mhz Intel XScale CPUs, 512MB of DDR SDRAM, dual gigabit Ethernet ports, and eight SATA ports.

Team ASA also markets complete SATA/RAID products based on its “SBNC” boards and embedded Linux/Wasabi NetBSD. It markets these products in high volume to storage OEMs and device re-branders.
