One Stop Systems releases PCIe expansion system

[Alpine]

ONE STOP SYSTEMS has announced the release of its PCIe expansion system, the MAX Express PCIe Expansion System. It's the first designed to extend the PCIe bus of a host system to extra PCIe, PCI, PCI-X, PXI and CompactPCI expansion slots.

The MAX Express, which is made up of a 4U chassis, a 20-slot backplane and an Expansion Link Board, plugs into the host slot on the backplane and creates the interface between a x4 PCIe cable and the slots on the backplane.

When combined with One Stop Systems' Host Interface Board and its PCIe cables, the Expansion Link Board can supposedly achieve a driverless and standards-based expansion with up to 100 add-in boards. If you're after the full thing, the ELB begins selling at $598 while the 20-slot backplane is priced at $1,395. The 4U chassis is available at $1,909 in OEM quantities. All products are available right now.
