Motorola Selects GoAhead High Availability Middleware for IA 64-based Mobility Manager; Design Win Represents 5th Motorola Project Using GoAhead SelfReliant.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 2003 GoAhead(R) Software, the leading provider of integrated, platform-independent middleware for high availability (HA) systems, announced the selection of its SelfReliant(R) software for Motorola's new IA 64-based Mobility Manager. SelfReliant will ensure the 99.999% availability of the Mobility Manager call control functions. With the Mobility Manager design win, GoAhead SelfReliant is now included in five Motorola projects including their CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. SDU SDU State Disbursement Unit (child support enforcement) SDU Service Data Unit SDU Staff Development Unit SDU Social Development Unit SDU Standard Dial-Up SDU Sustainable Development Unit SDU Service Delivery Unit , CDMA VPU VPU Video Processing Unit VPU Vice Presidential Unit (World Bank) VPU Vicaría Pastoral Universitaria (Santiago, Chile) VPU Vulnerable Prisoner Unit (UK) , iDen iBSC and UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. Node B 3G Base Stations. Motorola's Mobility Manager is an IP-based system that handles voice and data call control functions including mobile station registration, short message services, call setup, handoff and release. GoAhead SelfReliant is used for a number of functions within the IA 64 base server. The GoAhead Availability Management Service is used as the engine for sequencing the Mobility Manager's response to operator configuration management requests and to automatically detect fault events. The GoAhead replicated database is used for non-stop, real time access to the Mobility Manager's configuration data. The GoAhead SNMP agent provides the basis for the Mobility Manager's operation and maintenance through a remote element manager. "In 2001, we selected GoAhead SelfReliant as the high availability middleware in our High Availability Platform," said Bruce Stone, senior vice president, CDMA Systems Division at Motorola. "Per our plan, we continue to leverage common code, including SelfReliant, across multiple development projects to save time and costs. Mobility Manager is our fifth project implementation using SelfReliant as the standard middleware component." The five different deployments illustrate the flexibility of Motorola's High Availability Platform (HAP HAP. An old word which signifies to catch; as, "to hap the rent," to hap the deed poll." Techn. Dict. h.t. ) equipped with SelfReliant middleware. The projects represent multiple network tiers including the base station, vocoding, mobility management and central office and a spectrum of network topologies and air interface technologies including GSM, CDMA and iDEN. GoAhead SelfReliant SelfReliant runs as a middleware layer on top of the operating system to manage redundant components for 99.999% or better availability and reliability. It features 2-3 millisecond One thousandth of a second. See space/time and ohnosecond. (unit) millisecond - (ms) One thousandth of a second, one thousand microseconds. A long time for a modern computer. failover speeds, checkpointing to preserve application data, and over 38,000 per second distributed message delivery. Real-time capture, storage and replication of system and/or application data assure continuous, uninterrupted service. Its compact footprint (less than 4.5 MB) and low CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. usage (less than 3% of CPU capacity) are ideal for the tight resource constraints typical of embedded systems. External management is conducted either through a web console or network management via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. . The modular design supports building solutions with off-the-shelf components and little to no integration. Its flexibility also allows phasing in high availability functionality over multiple releases. For projects that require full HA at first release, GoAhead SelfReliant Suite is pre-integrated for fast, easy deployment. GoAhead offers a range of packages to make getting started with SelfReliant easy and quick. About GoAhead Software GoAhead(R) Software provides the first integrated, platform-independent suite of high availability middleware for developing reliable embedded systems and applications. GoAhead products are used by developers in communications, military/aerospace and other industries with high reliability requirements. GoAhead SelfReliant(R) is offered as a fully integrated suite of software that implements high availability in complex systems. For project teams requiring specific SelfReliant functionality, GoAhead also offers three standalone modules: Basic Availability Management (BAM Bam (bäm), town (1996 pop. 70,100), Kerman prov., SE Iran, on the intermittent Bam River. Located on the western edge of the Dasht-e Lut, Bam is a trade center in a henna-growing region. Dates and other fruits are also grown; camels are raised. ), Distributed Messaging Service (DMS (1) (Document Management System) See document management. (2) (Defense Messaging System) An X.500-compliant messaging system developed by the U.S. Dept. of Defense. ), and Embedded Systems Management (ESM (1) (Enterprise Storage Management) Managing the online, nearline and offline storage within a large organization. It includes analysis of storage requirements as well as making routine copies of files and databases for backup, archiving, disaster recovery, ). Ideal for systems such as wireless base station controllers, softswitches, defense command/control systems and industrial controllers, SelfReliant helps developers reduce project risk, lower costs and achieve faster time-to-market.
