Concurrent Technologies Plc Product Launch New High Performance Processor board

Concurrent Technologies Plc ("Concurrent" or the "Company"), a world leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-end embedded computer products, announces the launch of its latest high performance VME single board computer, the VX 511/06x. The Company believes that this is a market-leading product and is aimed specifically at existing and new applications within the defence sector.

The new product not only offers improved performance when implemented in existing projects, but also introduces many new high performance features including the latest processing technology from Intel‚®. The board also features up to 6GBytes of the very fast DDR3 memory and utilises the latest high speed storage interfaces. Currently available in commercial and extended temperature versions, rugged conduction-cooled variants will be introduced in the first quarter of 2009.

This new board has the potential to be used in applications not previously available to Intel‚® based processor boards, and presents the opportunity for the Company to capitalise further on the migration to Intel‚® processor based solutions. As such it is expected to attract new customers in addition to current clients seeking to upgrade their applications' performance and processing capabilities.

Glen Fawcett, Managing Director - Concurrent Technologies, commented:

"This product demonstrates once again our ability to use and introduce the latest in high performance computing technology to the long term embedded marketplace. With its much improved performance per Watt compared to earlier generations, and the inclusion of the latest high speed devices and interfaces, we see this product as being one of the first of its kind. This is not only in terms of processing capabilities, but also as it was directly engineered for applications within the defence market."
