LYNUXWORKS TODAY ANNOUNCED INTEGRATION OF THEIR HIGH-AVAILABILITY SOFTWARE PRODUCTS
This means that developers can use LynuxWorks' LynxOS hard real-time operating system with NetPlane's networking protocol software to quickly develop new carrier-class networking equipment. The companies also announced that they have joined each other's alliance programs. The companies collaborated to pre-integrate the LynxOS operating system and TCP/IP stack with NetPlane's LEAP porting and service architecture, which supports all of NetPlane's communications protocol products. This combination creates a powerful environment that enables developers to accelerate the delivery of new projects while leveraging the expertise of NetPlane and LynuxWorks to reduce risks. The LynxOS-LEAP integration has been delivered to a variety of customers building next-generation optical equipment ranging from edge to core devices. Both companies noted that further collaborative efforts could be expected now that NetPlane is a member of LynuxWorks' SynergyWorks program and LynuxWorks is a member of NetPlane's LEAP Partner Program. "We are pleased to be offering our mutual customers a solution that provides not only decreased development costs but also reduced development time for new networking products, and thereby faster conversion to revenue generation," said Al Cooley, Director of Business Development for NetPlane Systems. "Both of our organizations are focused on delivering high performance and high availability solutions, making future collaboration on tighter integration natural." Cooley pointed out that the key goal of NetPlane's LEAP program was to preserve the freedom and flexibility of networking equipment vendors while facilitating the development of more complete networking solutions. NetPlane's LEAP program is focused on its LEAP porting and service layer, which provides a series of well architected interfaces to target system resources. This ensures a simple, well-defined integration process, as well as preserving integration investments by ensuring backward compatibility. "Today, companies are faced with intense time-to-market and time-to-revenue pressures. They need to provide differentiated products, but those products must be standards based. Often quality, standards-compliant components present the most effective way to shorten their development cycles and mitigate risks. That is the benefit we are offering our customers with the pre-integration of our software products," said Greg Rose, director of product management for LynuxWorks. The integration files that integrate both LynxOS and its TCP/IP stack to NetPlane's LEAP OS and socket interfaces are immediately available at no charge to customers of either company.
