Wind River Platform for Network Equipment, Linux edition is available with the latest mainstream releases of OSDL Carrier Grade Linux (version 2.0.1) and Linux 2.6, combines Wind River's Eclipse-based Wind River Workbench development suite with a rich set of networking middleware.
The platform makes it easy for telecomms OEMs to develop and deploy a complete range of network equipment applications, from core and enterprise to access and edge devices.
"Wind River is a pre-eminent supplier of real-time operating systems and has taken the lead in offering an integrated development and run-time environment for carrier grade Linux", said Todd Wynia, Vice President of Marketing at Artesyn.
"Our high-availability AdvancedTCA blades, together with the Wind River Platform for Network Equipment, provide an ideal foundation for building a broad range of high-availability telecom infrastructure systems".
"Artesyn has always been at the forefront of providing open architecture solutions for high-availability telecom infrastructure applications", added John Fanelli, Vice President of Product Planning and Management at Wind River.
"We're happy to have Artesyn on board as a Platform partner and look forward to working with them to develop optimised versions of our Network Equipment Platform for their high-availability telecom blades".
The KatanaQp is a high-performance ATCA telecomms blade that combines two PowerPC MPC7447A processors with four PTMC expansion sites, redundant IPMI-based system management interfaces, and a PICMG 3.1-compliant ATCA interface equipped with 10 Gigabit Ehernet channels.
The KatanaQp's high-speed PowerPC processors, switched fabric ATCA interface, flexible mezzanine expansion, and integrated system management make it easy to customise for a wide variety of control and packet processing applications, including WAN access, SS7/Sigtran signalling, media gateways, traffic processing, wireless basestations and softswitches.
