Mercury Computer Systems Selects Wind River Carrier Grade Linux for Ensemble2â„¢ AdvancedTCA-Based Application Platform
Ensemble2 is built around the power, functionality, and scalability of serial RapidIO®, Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, AdvancedTCA® (ATCA), and AdvancedMC™ (AMC). The platform supports a variety of I/O sources and heterogeneous processing, thereby reducing integration costs, improving efficiency, and minimizing risks in design and deployment of next-generation applications.
"Mercury and Wind River share a commitment to Linux and to open standards," said Mark Skalabrin, vice president and general manager of the Advanced Solutions business at Mercury. "When evaluating Linux-based alternatives, we found that adopting Wind River's Platform for Network Equipment, Linux Edition would offer the Carrier Grade capabilities that our customers require while allowing us to focus our development resources on our own unique areas of value."
Based on a CGL distribution, Wind River Platform for Network Equipment, Linux Edition, integrates with many of the industry's most popular telecommunications boards, making it an ideal fit for the telecommunications and high-end data networking markets. It supports the emerging PICMG 3.x ATCA specification and various high-availability functions, and includes a standards-based interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism that connects the Linux and VxWorks editions of the platform. This tested and validated Linux platform is supported and maintained by Wind River.
"Wind River's reputation as a reliable partner and leader in DSO made Mercury's decision to select our Linux platform a straightforward one," said Glenn Seiler, product line manager, Linux Platforms, at Wind River. "Device manufacturers are building increasingly connected, complex devices and products are now being differentiated through device software innovation. Selecting Wind River for Ensemble2 enables Mercury's customers to develop and run device software faster, better, at lower cost, and more reliably."
