Overview
BittWare FPGA cards have a lot of I/O, but with the many server options available, it can be challenging to find one that allows you to use all of it. The e4 chassis is a unique solution from LDA Technologies that transforms any FPGA-based PCIe card into a high-end networking device. Plug any of BittWare’s Intel or Xilinx UltraScale/UltraScale+ FPGA-based PCIe cards into the 1U PCIe enclosure, and the system conveniently pulls the I/O from the FPGA card out to 48 high-speed networking ports on the device’s front panel. With a depth of just 12”, the e4 is incredibly compact; two devices fit back-to-back in a standard 1U slot, effectively doubling the number of FPGAs in the system.
