Artesyn Communication Products has partnered with MontaVista to offer MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition (CGE) for its telecom blades and modules. Artesyn will offer bundled, certified MontaVista CGE solutions for its PICMG 2.16, AdvancedTCA, AdvancedMC, ProcessorPMC blades and modules, preinstalled in flash memory. Artesyn blades and modules equipped with MontaVista CGE provide a modular open architecture platform for building scaleable, high-availability network infrastructure equipment. MontaVista Linux CGE is an open and flexible development platform designed specifically to address the unique and demanding requirements of carrier grade class applications, with a strong focus on open standards and high availability services. MontaVista CGE is the industry's most field tested and proven Linux distribution. It is the only carrier grade Linux deployed by the world's leading NEPs in carrier networks for over three generations of product, and it serves as the foundation for advanced telecom solutions currently in design. MontaVista CGE is also the only carrier grade Linux operating system that complies with both the Service Availability Forum (SA Forum) Application Interface Specifications for high availability services and the Open Source Development Lab's (OSDL) requirements for Carrier Grade Linux 2.0. MontaVista CGE is available immediately from MontaVista for Artesyn's PICMG 2.16 Katana 750i, 752i, 3750 and 3752 blades, which feature PowerPC processing complexes, high-performance packet-switched backplane interfaces, PMC/PTMC mezzanine expansion, and integrated IPMI system management. MontaVista CGE is also available for Artesyn's PowerQUICC-based Pm8560 protocol engine, an octal E1/T1 card optimized for SS7/SIGTRAN signalling. Artesyn will announce bundled, certified MontaVista CGE solutions for select PICMG 2.16, AdvancedTCA, AdvancedMC and ProcessorPMC blades and modules at a future date.
