Concurrent Technologies Plc (the "Company") a world leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-end embedded computer products, announces the launch of its latest dual processor single board computer, the VP 426/23x.

Using two Intel‚® Xeon‚® processors, this board supports the newer, faster VME bus interface and the combination of high performance data processing, large amounts of memory and flexible input/output interfaces ensures that it has one of the highest specifications for this type of computer available today. In addition, with extended temperature versions available, the board is suitable for processing intensive applications within the defence, security, communications, telemetry, scientific and aerospace markets. It will allow both existing and new customers high performance for low power processing capabilities.

Glen Fawcett, Managing Director, commented:

"This new board demonstrates our commitment to delivering the latest technology in the highest specifications, in this case into the VME market. This high performance board will allow existing users increased processing capabilities, with an improvement in measured performance/watt over earlier generations.
