xTCA SlotFest: Multi-Vendor Interoperability Demonstration

This live demonstration on the exhibit floor will show at least six ATCA shelves and four MicroTCA shelves, each with a mix of different vendor boards and modules installed, showing interoperability in the TCA ecosystem at the mechanical, management, and application levels. The management subsystems in the majority of the components in this collection are Pigeon Point shelf level or board level management components.
