RadiSys and GoAhead Offer First Standards-Based, Pre-Integrated High Availability AdvancedTCA Solution; Application Ready Platform Helps Equipment Manufacturers Speed Time-to-Market and Reduce Costs.HILLSBORO, Ore. & BELLEVUE, Wash. -- RadiSys (R) Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : RSYS), the leader in advanced embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. , and GoAhead(R) Software, the expert in 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. middleware for systems requiring 99.999% availability or greater, today announced the first standards-based, pre-integrated high availability Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA See AdvancedTCA. ) solution. By integrating RadiSys Promentum(TM), a common managed platform for network element and dataplane applications, with GoAhead SelfReliant(R), standards-based high availability middleware, equipment manufacturers can significantly accelerate time to market and reduce project costs. "With rising pressure on equipment manufacturers to cut costs, shorten development cycles and differentiate their products, they are transitioning from proprietary solutions to those comprised of standards-based components," explains Jim Ewel, GoAhead CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "GoAhead is pleased to work with RadiSys to pave the way for this cost-conscious and time-efficient approach by offering the first pre-integrated, application-ready solution," says Ewel. The integrated solution includes validated, out-of-box capabilities such as platform management and comprehensive high availability and system management. Areas of focus include resource discovery and system model instantiation (programming) instantiation - Producing a more defined version of some object by replacing variables with values (or other variables). 1. In object-oriented programming, producing a particular object from its class template. , shelf manager integration, alarm management, hot swap To pull out a component from a system and plug in a new one while the main power is still on. Also called "hot plug" and "hot insertion," hot swap is a feature of USB devices, allowing an external drive, network adapter or other peripheral to be plugged in without having to power down the management and integration with RadiSys specific systems management capabilities. All of this is accomplished using the Service Availability Forum

With this functionality, equipment manufacturers are able to realize the benefits of integration without having the burden of this significant undertaking themselves, enabling them to shift focus to the value-added application layer. "The use of ATCA is accelerating, and we are seeing growing demand from our customers for a turn-key, application-ready ATCA platform," states Scott Grout Grout A binding or structural agent used in construction and engineering applications. Grout is typically a mixture of hydraulic cement and water, with or without fine aggregate; however, chemical grouts are also produced. , RadiSys CEO. "RadiSys is pleased to be working with GoAhead to enable us to deliver turn-key, high availability solutions to our customers for their most demanding applications," Grout says. One such customer is Operax, a leading provider of carrier-grade solutions for Quality of Service (QoS) control in multi-service networks. Operax utilized both RadiSys and GoAhead for its next generation triple play application, Bandwidth Manager 5500. This application is in the critical path for IP Multimedia Subsystem An integrated network for telecommunications carriers that uses the IP protocol as its foundation for packetized voice, video and data. Supporting voice over IP (VoIP) in all its flavors (SIP, H.323, MGCP, etc. (IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem. (2) (Information Management System) An early IBM hierarchical DBMS for IBM mainframes. IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used under z/OS. ) services as well as non-IMS services such as IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. . Service providers commonly regard it as a network element in terms of requirements for performance, scalability, availability and management. By utilizing standards-based solutions, Operax was able to ensure availability requirements were met as well as meet a stringent development cycle, deploying the new product only six months after the project began. Operax Bandwidth manager 5500 recently earned a carrier-grade stamp of approval after an independent evaluation by an incumbent telecom operator with more than 10 million broadband lines. http://www.operax.com/news/operax_and_partners_.asp "By leveraging standards-based solutions such as those from RadiSys and GoAhead, we were able to develop a common high availability platform across carrier-class bandwidth management solutions," says Emil Svanberg, Operax vice president of product management. "This made it possible to significantly decrease our development and integration costs and achieve an extremely aggressive time-to-market target," Svanberg continues. Availability This integration will be available in Q4 of calendar year 2006.
