RadiSys Corporation, a global provider of advanced embedded solutions, and GoAhead Software (News - Alert) have introduced a network-ready ATCA platform that supports the Service Availability Forum’s Application Interface Specification (AIS).

 

By integrating the RadiSys (News - Alert) Promentum application ready platform with GoAhead SAFfire, telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) can ensure that carrier-grade requirements are met and focus on rapid deployment of revenue-generating applications.

 

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, shelf manager integration, alarm management, hot swap management and integration with RadiSys specific systems management capabilities.

 

This functionality is available for the full RadiSys ATCA portfolio of products including carrier blades, chassis, disk modules, line cards, processing modules and switch modules. All of this is accomplished using the SA Forum Hardware Platform Interface (HPI (News - Alert)).

This integration will be available in Q1 of calendar year 2009.

 

“Since announcing our first application-ready platform based on GoAhead SelfReliant and RadiSys Promentum technology two years ago, we have signed seven new joint customers,” said Holger Herbert, GoAhead Software director of product management, in a statement. “We are thrilled to see this traction in the marketplace, and with a platform based on SAFfire, we are poised to build on this success.”

 

GoAhead Software is a player in open standards-based high availability and management middleware for carrier-grade and mission critical systems for which downtime is unacceptable. 

 

“Our relationship with GoAhead has been a tremendous success,” said Keate Despain, RadiSys senior director of product marketing. “Our customers demand turnkey solutions, so they can focus on software application innovation and getting new, revenue-generating services to market more quickly. The combination of the Promentum ATCA platform and SAFfire middleware enables them to do this in a standards-based way, with best-of-breed solutions at each layer.”
