09 May 2017, Washington, United States Toradex
is excited to welcome Christmann
Informationstechnik Medien GmbH Co. KG from
Germany in its partner program. Christmann is
offering the RECSBox Atlas Quad Apalis
Evaluation platform, and the RECSBox Antares
and Arneb 19 1RU server enclosures which can run
24 and 72 Apalis System on Modules respectively
in a cluster configuration.
Apalis ARM based System on Modules are available
in different configurations. For example, with
the NVIDIA TK1 SoC with a 4 core Cortex-A15 with
2.1 GHz and a GPU with 192 CUDA cores. The
unified memory between GPU and CPU avoids the
PCIe bottleneck in data sharing between CPU and
GPU. Toradex also announced an upcoming Apalis
SoM based on the i.MX 8 from NXP.

RECSBox Atlas Quad Apalis supports 4 Apalis
System on Modules in an evaluation setting on
your desk. The same Atlas baseboard can also be
used in bigger installations with even more
modules. Besides the necessary infrastructure to
support the modules, the Christmann baseboard
features on-board Gigabit Ethernet switches for
two separate network interfaces. It also includes
KVM switching (video and USB) and monitoring
capabilities (voltage, power usage, and
temperature).

The Atlas evaluation kit and the RECSBox
servers share the same intuitive management
software to monitor and control all the modules
closely. The management provides different
interfaces, from a WebGUI that can be used in a
browser over Nagios integration to a RESTful
API. The Atlas provides two times gigabit
Ethernet (if supported by the modules), three USB
ports and one HDMI connector. The management
software controls the board via a USB connection
and runs under Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
