Concurrent Technologies announced the launch of Magni, a SOSA (open-standard) aligned, high-performance Plug In Card based on an Intel processor. The Company will market Magni as a Plug In Card to system integrators and use it as the basis for its own system level products. Magni is a highly rugged card and incorporates on-board graphics processing capabilities offered by Intel.

For some customers this will enable them to avoid the need for a dedicated GPGPU (General Purpose Graphics Processor Unit) card that would occupy an additional slot in the overall system. This in turn helps systems to be smaller and more efficient. Additionally, this product has an expansion interface on the board itself, to which a host of accelerator, storage or custom processing cards can be directly attached.

This allows for a wide range of customer specific configurations, providing flexibility for systems integration. Typical applications include high performance mission control, encryption processing and secure storage.
