Hardware Enabling

Expertise in addressing the issues involved in handling of Multiple 10GbE based Server System & its I/O capabilities.
Exposure to the server technologies involving the advanced packet processing at multiple 10G and 40G ( i.e. 4x10G) I/O bandwidth.
Experience in next generation I/O bus upgrade ( for e.g. PCIe Gen3), higher Speed Memory ( i.e DDR3), on-chip system interconnect bus
as well as design and integration of various types of High Speed Serializer De-Serializer technology.
Exposure to the Computer-on-Module and Single SoC controller design for convergence of NIC / HBA / Virtualization models.
Competence in handling the multi-core processor design for addressing the design constraint issue of power and performance

Blade
Lab set-up: Hi-end lab with all infrastructure has been
set-up at ODC. Bring-up and Testing work of blade
servers are being carried out from this facility.

System Test : Regression and

complete functional, performance
and stress testing in various areas
like BIOS, Storage and I/O
interconnects, Management
interfaces, RAS testing and
compliance testing.

Systems Driver Integration:

Driver integration, validation and
release for different OS and FW
driver releases.
Systems Integration: Involved
extensively in bring-up and
integration from Power-on,
Hardware bring-up. OS bring-up
and Stability testing.

Firmware development:
Involved in the development of
IPMI, Management Module & BMC
application development.

Blade Compliance and Interoperability Testing:

Working with Blades.org for set-up of C&I lab
