GoAhead Introduces First Pre-Integrated Software Platform for Embedded Applications

GoAhead Software (News - Alert) has introduced the first pre-integrated application-ready software platform for embedded applications.

Officials with GoAhead said that the new 3.3 version of its embeddedMIND management infrastructure and configuration management solution is now integrated with the company's flagship OpenSAFfire high availability (HA) software.

GoAhead acquired the embeddedMIND business in January and is already delivering on its potential with a unique single-vendor solution that is only available from GoAhead.

According to company officials, embeddedMIND's integration with OpenSAFfire provides users with the flexibility to easily access selected management information about the current state and configuration of the HA software via their chosen management interface. Notifications from the HA system can also be distributed in a similar manner.

Company officials said that these new capabilities save significant time and effort for engineering teams and also enable them to focus their resources on the differentiating features of their systems.

In addition to the integration with OpenSAFfire, embeddedMIND itself can now be configured to be highly available, thereby eliminating a potential point of failure.

"Interest in embeddedMIND has exceeded even our most optimistic expectations," said Asif Naseem, president and chief operating officer of GoAhead, in a statement.

Naseem said that existing and new customers alike are excited that the company has moved so quickly to deliver this integration.

"They are also very enthusiastic about our ambitious roadmap and the additional R&D investment that we are making to deliver on it," he said.

GoAhead Software is a major player in commercial off-the-shelf solutions for equipment manufacturers who recognize that scarce development resources should be allocated to building applications and not infrastructure.

GoAhead's progress with embeddedMIND is a key component of its overall product strategy and vision. GoAhead embeddedMIND 3.3 is immediately available as a standalone solution or as part of an integrated package with OpenSAFfire.
