Wind River Platform selected for Ensemble2

Bangalore, June 20: Wind River Systems, the global leader in Device Software Optimization (DSO), today announced that Mercury Computer Systems has selected the 'Wind River Platform for Network Equipment, Linux Edition' for its Ensemble2 AdvancedTCA-based application platform.

Mercury's Ensemble2 was a standards-based system that allowed developers to develop, evaluate and deploy their applications on the same platform. Mercury selected the Edition because it provided the company with a commercial-grade quality Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) platform and enabled developers to standardise on a single development suite for all device software projects, a company release here said.

''Device manufacturers are building increasingly connected, complex devices and products are now being differentiated through device software innovation,'' the release said, quoting Wind River Country Manager Venkatesh Kumaran.

Based on a CGL distribution, the Edition integrated 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 supported the emerging PICMG 3.x ATCA specification and various high-availability functions, and included a standards-based interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism that connected the Linux and VxWorks editions of the platform. This tested and validated Linux platform was supported and maintained by the city-based Wind River.
