The Reva Tag Acquisition family of products enable scalable deployment of RFID for production operations in any environment and deliver the accurate, actionable data that enterprises need to generate ROI from RFID implementations.

The Reva TAP VM is a software-based virtual machine version of the Reva TAP appliance and is functionally identical to the hardware based versions. The TAP VM runs on any hardware platform that supports VMware Server 2 or VMware ESX/ESXi and therefore gives users the flexibility to deploy on the hardware platform of their choice, ranging from small laptops to the largest blade servers.

Each TAP VM virtual appliance supports from 1  to 1,024 readpoints along with printers, general input / output (GPIO) devices and other sensors.

The Reva TAP VM is the right RFID Network Infrastructure choice for deployments where rack space is limited or when installing new hardware is not preferred. For organizations that have already standardized on server virtualization, the TAP VM integrates seamlessly into existing VM environments.  When redundancy and automatic system failover is a requirement for critical operations, TAP VMs may be deployed in multiples which share a single site configuration, automatically load balance reader processing and automatically designate data service handling in support of enterprise applications.

The TAP VM is packaged as a virtual appliance and is distributed on a DVD. The TAP supports standard and application-specific interfaces for RFID data access and may be deployed with fixed and mobile readers from many well known reader vendors. The Reva Management Console software accompanies each TAP and is compatible with the Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional and XP Professional operating systems.
