MontaVista embedded Linux software and development tools for intelligent devices and embedded systems

Resources

“ For users of our equipment, the network is mission-critical. Downtime is not acceptable to security or police services, so our infrastructure must offer carrier-grade levels of reliability. We chose MontaVista Linux because it comes with the high-availability features we need - such as redundancy, clustering and replication - to meet our customers' very demanding requirements.”

Roman Abadias, Deputy Director of R&D, Teltronic
