Go-HotSwap is a complete off-the-shelf software offering an ideal solution for hardware vendors, as well as for system integrators and operating system vendors, aiming to provide hot swap capabilities to the end user.
Using the Go-HotSwap architecture reduces time-to-market, enabling developers to focus on core technologies instead of going through all the effort involved in developing in-house hot swap software.
"We are happy to release this new and robust version of Go-HotSwap, enabling hardware vendors to approach new markets and offer 'HotSwap' capabilities to their customers", said Omry Ben David, Marketing Manager for the Software Tools Division at Jungo.

"Thanks to its latest operating system compliance capabilities, the new Go-HotSwap version opens up new markets for the operating system vendors as well.
These vendors can now offer hot swap support on their operating systems, enabling them to enter the telecommunication infrastructure and high speed datacommunication systems markets".
Go-HotSwap supports Solaris 8,9 and Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, using the native plug-and-play capabilities of these operating systems.
The Go-HotSwap software infrastructure consists of a low-level operating system extension, the Hot Swap Engine, which is responsible for: identifying the insertion/removal of CompactPCI boards; notifying the system services and the relevant drivers of a hot swap event; and notifying the relevant applications of a hot swap event.
The Go-HotSwap licence includes Jungo's WinDriver driver development tool, as an integrated component.
The driver development toolkit dramatically simplifies the very difficult task of developing a device driver from scratch.
It provides a complete solution for creating high performance drivers, which handle interrupts and I/O at optimal rates.
Free full featured, 30 day evaluation versions of Jungo's Go-HotSwap for Solaris and Go-HotSwap for Windows are available for download from the Jungo website.
Go-HotSwap Version 6.22 is available from Logic Technology.
