menRDC Approach
Done by MEN
I/O Extension I/O Extension
Main ServerMain Server
StorageStorage
Ethernet Switch
Lower cost during purchase, installation, maintenance
Component obsolescence does not affect train IT functions
Lower efforts to integrate application software
Based on open computer standards
» Mobility 4.0 — open to the IoT » Independence of a single supplier» Transparency for the end user» Virtualization to abstract application from hardware» Consolidation of multiple applications on fewer systems

I/O Extension
One platform for the complete railway IT infrastructure
More applications on less hardware save cost, avoid incompatibilities
Easy deployment thanks to standar-dized office IT like systems
» Main server and virtualization platform with Intel Xeon D-1500 CPU
» Storage extension with up to 5 HDD/SSD carriers» Network extension with 29 Gbit/s throughput
menRDC "Light"
Box PCs instead of 19" systems
» All-in-one device » Server, storage and I/O
» For reduced performance needs» Space, weight and cost saving» Built-to-order as 19" CompactPCI
» Device extensions via Ethernet » Box PC & network box » Box PC & 19" system
Cost-effective smaller platforms for lower application requirements
menRDC Software Architecture
Virtualization – abstraction of hardware from the application
Supported by Linux KVM hypervisor
» Including e.g. VM Manager, Virtual Ethernet Switch» Supporting para-virtualization, abstraction of guest
from host OS» Adaptable to support e.g. task monitoring,
high availability
Supported by MH70R
» Multi-core server architecture» Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, Intel HT

More applications on less hardware reduce space, weight, cost
Independence of application reduces integration time and cost to software
menRDC Application Areas
The One-Size-Fits-All Solution
» Any combination of operator and passenger service applications
» Passenger information system» Maintenance center» Vehicle-to-land-communication» Efficiency management
Diagnosis Maintenance Predictive Maintenance Fleet Management Energy Management Driver Assistance
(Video) Surveillance Recording/Storage Internet on Train
Passenger Informations (PIS) Entertainment
Vehicle-to-Vehicle-CommunicationWayside-to-Vehicle-Communication
Redundant Main Server
Redundant Storage
Land-to-Vehicle-Communication
Ethernet SwitchStorage
Main Server
Intel server performance in an EN 50155 compliant environment
Application-ready for all non-vital train functions
Any mixture of operator and passenger service applications
Just one server platform - no single computing equipment anymore
menRDC Benefits
Save hardware devices and avoid system in-
compatibilities
Use standard technologies and stay independent of a
single vendor
Reduce space, weight, cost, maintenance
Rely on fully proven rolling stock and wayside equipment
Get a standard solution within short time and
tailored to the application
EOL management,develop-ment, test, consultancy, application know-how
Save hardware maintenance cost for 30 years
Reduce integration time & cost – more functions at
software cost only
