The VXS-200 Dual 7448 Single-Board Computer (SBC) is a versatile 6U board that offers the computing power and high bandwidth of an embedded processing module with the flexibility of a reconfigurable network-enabled environment. By combining the configurability of IP-based services with the power and bandwidth of serial RapidIO, users can develop scalable processing clusters that are integrated easily with the external network. The VXS-200 is an air-cooled module available for deployment in both standard commercial environments and rugged systems.

The VXS-200 architecture offers users an attractive balance between high-density processing and flexible I/O, allowing the VXS-200 to serve as an integral component in many different VXS system architectures.
