By combining a new RTOS platform with CompactPCI board, designers can develop infrastructure designs that achieve five-9s reliability.
High availability is on the minds of infrastructure designers across the communication market.
System downtime can be extremely costly. Answering this need, Wind River Systems has unleashed an RTOS platform, code named Cirrus, to address the specific requirements of designers developing high availability systems. As engineers well know, hardware-only solutions are not a strong means for achieving high availability in an infrastructure design. To solve the shortcomings of hardware-only approaches, modern communication designers have started to marry RTOS and other software solutions with CPCI boards. By doing this, designers have taken a big step toward achieving the high availability performance they need.
