GoAhead and RadiSys to Provide High-Availability Software Solutions for Carrier-Grade Telecommunications Platforms.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers RadiSys selects GoAhead SelfReliant as standard Service Availability middleware Working together to provide highly available telecom platforms, GoAhead(R) Software, the leading provider of Service Availability(TM) middleware, and RadiSys Corp. today announced an agreement to integrate GoAhead SelfReliant(TM) middleware on RadiSys CompactPCI platforms. As service providers migrate to next generation, packet-based networks, Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) are facing increased pressure to deliver carrier-grade products quickly and inexpensively. The GoAhead-RadiSys relationship allows TEMs to meet these pressures by delivering fully integrated High Availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. platforms, which eliminate the high costs of developing and supporting in-house, proprietary solutions. GoAhead SelfReliant is the leading comprehensive, cross-platform, commercial off-the-shelf Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) is a term for software or hardware, generally technology or computer products, that are ready-made and available for sale, lease, or license to the general public. Service Availability(TM) solution. RadiSys selected GoAhead SelfReliant for its complete Service Availability functionality, seamless failover of application data, and system management capability. "Combining GoAhead's leading Service Availability technology with RadiSys' Advanced Platform technology on our PICMIG 2.16 chassis provides our TEM TEM 1. transmission electron microscope. 2. triethylenemelamine. 3. transmissible encephalopathy of mink. customers the high availability solutions they demand," said Stuart Cohen cohen or kohen (Hebrew: “priest”) Jewish priest descended from Zadok (a descendant of Aaron), priest at the First Temple of Jerusalem. The biblical priesthood was hereditary and male. , vice president for RadiSys. "This joint solution saves the TEMs development and integration costs and helps them get their products to market faster." The integrated platform will provide a rapid and easy way to include high availability in communications equipment. SelfReliant provides complete Service Availability functionality for management of hardware resources including hotswap and failover of critical system elements. In addition, SelfReliant provides an Availability Framework that enables seamless, stateful failover of applications so that service is not interrupted. "We want to make it easy for TEMs to purchase all components for a complete HA platform in one place," said Michael O'Brien Michael or Mike O'Brien may refer to:

About GoAhead SelfReliant 2.0 GoAhead(R) SelfReliant(TM) 2.0 is the only cross-platform, commercial off-the-shelf Service Availability middleware. The product provides a rapid and cost-effective way to include high availability in communications equipment, including core network equipment (voice and IP switching Switching TCP/IP packets at high speed. Ipsilon's IP Switch started the trend and various vendors followed suit with different approaches, including Cisco's tag switching and 3Com's Fast IP. The goal was to switch IP packets faster than traditional router-based layer 3 forwarding. ), radio access network equipment, and enhanced services Enhanced service is service offered over commercial carrier transmission facilities used in interstate communications, that employs computer processing applications that act on the format, content, code, protocol, or similar aspects of the subscriber's transmitted information; equipment and applications. SelfReliant runs as a middleware layer on top of an operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and, from there, manages all critical hardware, operating system, other middleware and applications -- individually and collectively -- to ensure the highest levels of availability. It automatically detects faults and takes immediate, pre-determined actions to enable 99.999%+ system uptime and to maintain continuity of the communication service.
