VITA 100 is a collection of standards from VITA. It is a follow on to the successful VITA OpenVPX standards. VITA 100.20 is one of the VITA standards that targets system management. Daniel Toohey, Fellow and Technologist in the Advanced Concepts Group at Mercury, provides an overview of VITA 100.20. More from Electronic Design.
