The 364G also features an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), enabling the card to be monitored and controlled by remote shelf management controllers. In addition, the product comes with inherent robustness, reliability and hot-swap capabilities delivered by the AdvancedMC form factor. Software support for the 364G includes drivers for Carrier Grade Linux and Sun Solaris(TM) environments.

Key applications enabled by the SlotOptimizer 364G include Serving GPRS Service Nodes, softswitches, MSC servers and OAM&P platforms.
