In response to customer demand, storage equipment manufacturers must optimize<br />
their software development to provide advanced products at lower cost with more<br />
functionality. They must differentiate these products by providing reliable, easy-touse,<br />
and high-performance development platforms, such as those enabled by the<br />
<strong>MontaVista</strong> Linux ecosystem.<br />
Companies developing storage applications are<br />
faced with the challenges of making affordable and<br />
flexible equipment that delivers strong performance,<br />
high reliability and data security. The diverse nature<br />
of these requirements is driving the need for an<br />
advanced solution built on cost-effective, industryleading<br />
components. For these reasons and others,<br />
storage equipment manufacturers are rapidly turning<br />
towards embedded Linux to meet their complex<br />
project requirements.<br />
<strong>MontaVista</strong> Linux Professional Edition includes<br />
a comprehensive development environment<br />
(<strong>MontaVista</strong> DevRocket) and a high performance and<br />
highly reliable operating system based on industryleading<br />
Linux and Open Source components.<br />
<strong>MontaVista</strong> and Open Source innovation combine<br />
to deliver a rock-solid operating system featuring<br />
advanced networking capabilities, industryleading<br />
security infrastructure, and a wide range<br />
of application software components and device<br />
drivers. <strong>MontaVista</strong> DevRocket provides embedded<br />
development teams with everything they need to<br />
rapidly create and deploy software platforms onto<br />
their embedded applications.<br />
