Ziatech to Showcase New CompactPCI® LinuxTM Development Platform
at LinuxWorld Expo in San Jose
Jul 22nd, 03:01 UTC
Company to share booth #238 with MontaVista Software, maker of Hard
HatTM Linux San Luis Obispo, CA, July 21, 1999 -- Ziatech Corporation, the leading
innovator of applied computing solutions for telecom, Internet and
industrial control applications, announced today that it will unveil a new
LinuxTM-based CompactPCI® development system at LinuxWorld
Conference and Expo in San Jose, August 9-12. Ziatech will share booth #238
in the San Jose Convention Center with MontaVista Software, Inc.
(Sunnyvale, CA), the distributor of Hard HatTM Linux, an
embedded version of the Linux operating system.
The new Linux development platform will be based on an 8U-high, 19-inch,
rack mounted system configured with an Intel Pentium® II processor, a core
set of development peripherals, power supply and system cooling, and the
Hard Hat Linux operating system. Designed to speed the implementation of
CompactPCI-based telecom and Internet infrastructure systems, the Linux
development platform joins Ziatech's family of development systems based on
Windows® NT, QNX®, and VxWorks®.
Ziatech's participation in the industry's premier Linux event follows two
recent announcements signaling the CompactPCI company's commitment to
bringing Linux solutions to the CompactPCI market. Last month the company
announced it would offer MontaVista's Hard Hat Linux on its CPU boards and
development systems, and earlier this month the company launched an open
source initiative for it's CompactNET multiprocessing technology. Ziatech
has made its Linux source code drivers for CompactNET available for free.
The source code can be downloaded from a new web site the company has
created, www.compactnet.com.
"We're looking forward to reaching the growing community of OEM companies
choosing Linux for applied computing applications through venues such as
LinuxWorld Expo," said Ziatech's Product Marketing Manager, Greg
Kopchinski.
"The show also presents an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our
partnership with MontaVista, a company making a real contribution by
tailoring Linux for embedded applications," Kopchinski continued.
MontaVista's Hard Hat Linux is the first operating system environment to
combine the extreme cost-effectiveness, openness and flexibility of Linux
with the reliability and responsiveness required for computing applications
in telecommunications, Internet and industrial control. MontaVista will
supplement the operating system's enhancements with comprehensive technical
support, porting and customization services. For more information on
