Historical Approaches

Proprietary closed source royalty bearing RTOS

Non-Linux sub-kernel execution environment

Replacement proprietary closed source royalty bearing RTOS kernel

Proprietary closed source royalty bearing kernel components

MontaVista is currently the only company committed to addressing RT performance requirements with standard, non-proprietary, and non-royalty bearing Linux technology.


Why Use Linux

Faster time to market Access to source code improves debugging and

maintenance of applications Ability to gain quick access to leading-edge

technology and applications through open source Enhances the software development process

Reduced cost of use Often no run-time / deployment costs Lower development costs Standardize on a single OS across multiple

projects


Why Use Linux

Flexibility and quality Open source innovation offers multiple choices Vast open source / Linux community enhances software

quality, security, and functionality

Based on open interfaces and mainstream IT technology

Non Proprietary multi-vendor / vendor neutral

Integrated, high performance TCP/IP Unparalleled network security

Strong vote of confidence in MontaVista Software

Further proof of our growing acceptance for use in leading-edge communication applications

“MontaVista Linux provides a standards-based, open architecture, embedded software base that is both reliable and scalable”

Matti Airas, Director,

Network Division at Nokia


“Varco was able to meet very aggressive time-to-market deadlines using MontaVista Linux. MontaVista’s superb technical support helped our engineers overcome technical and reliability challenges”

-- George BoyadjieffChairman and CEOVarco International

What Our Customers Achieve

VARCO e-drill – Can remotely monitor and analyze oil drilling rig performance in real-time, detect system problems and enhance operating efficiency, change system parameters, and update the system with enhanced functionality.


“By using MontaVista Linux, we have been able to reduce our development time by one third, compared to traditional embedded OSes and because Linux is so flexible and easy to customize, we can provide our customers with specialized products that meet their individual needs.”

-- Kaichiro TakedaPresident

Nexterm, Inc.



“Replacing proprietary software with Linux in our embedded platform was an old dream. MontaVista Linux and MontaVista’s professional services allowed us to finally move forward with the project, with confidence, and introduce our new product in less than five months – record time!”

-- Daniel DalarossaCEO

Cyclades



“MontaVista was the only company driving fully functional embedded Linux product solutions for our applications. We were delighted by the performance improvement that MontaVista Linux delivered in our benchmark tests, compared with proprietary [Mentor Graphic’s] VRTX and [WindRiver’s] pSOS real time operating systems that ran on our previous generation Ethernet switches.

We achieved between a five-fold and ten-fold improvement in TCP/IP throughput, due primarily to the collective contribution from the Open Source Community utilized in MontaVista Linux.”

-- Bruno RollandManaging DirectorInterface Concepts



“MontaVista has worked with ITT to pioneer the port of Linux to the StrongArm processor. No other vendor was willing to accept the StrongArm port, but working with MontaVista, we had MontaVista Linux up and running on our processor in the first week….By leveraging MontaVista’s embedded Linux expertise, our team was able to concentrate on our technology competence, and bring this product to market much sooner!”

-- John KirkwoodCompany Spokesperson
