Artesyn blades and modules equipped with MontaVista CGE provide a modular open architecture platform for building scaleable, high- availability network infrastructure equipment. "Embedded Linux is emerging as a dominant platform for building high- availability network infrastructure products, and we are committed to offering our telecom equipment OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers the finest carrier grade Linux A specification that defines an industrial strength operating system environment using Linux. Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) covers hardware, availability, clustering, security, serviceability and performance. solutions," said Todd Wynia, vice president of marketing at Artesyn. "Soon, Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) will be able to purchase MontaVista's carrier grade Linux directly from Artesyn, certified by MontaVista, and pre-installed in flash on our telecom blades and modules." MontaVista Linux CGE is an open and flexible development platform designed specifically to address the unique and demanding requirements of carrier grade class applications, with a strong focus on open standards and high availability services. MontaVista CGE is the industry's most field tested and proven Linux distribution. It is the only carrier grade Linux deployed by the world's leading NEPs in carrier networks for over three generations of product, and it serves as the foundation for advanced telecom solutions currently in design. MontaVista CGE is also the only carrier grade Linux operating system that complies with both the Service Availability Forum
"As the telecom industry responds to the extreme pressure to redesign their networks and introduce new advanced capabilities, NEPs are requiring a reliable, robust and flexible software platform to build out sophisticated designs while not putting their project schedules at risk," said Peder Ulander, vice president of marketing at MontaVista. "Artesyn has been a pioneer in the development of open architecture telecom platforms and recognizes the need for the telecom industry to leverage cost-effective off- the-shelf (COTS) components with advanced Linux technologies.
