Solid and QNX Software Systems Enable Rapid Development and Performance of Time-Sensitive, Real-Time IP Applications CUPERTINO, Calif., Apr. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Solid Information Technology, the supplier of choice for embedded data management in devices that deliver IP-based services like Voice over IP (VoIP), Push to Talk, Media Gateways and other high-availability network infrastructure components, today announced its data management platform has been ported to the QNX(R) Neutrino(R) Real-Time Operating System (RTOS).
The integration of the QNX Neutrino RTOS v6.3 with Solid's most advanced version of the BoostEngine 4.2x data management platform provides networking and communications developers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with an off-the-shelf, highly-available (HA) data management system that dramatically accelerates system development and time-to-market and reduces total-cost-of-ownership. With the ability to rapidly develop and effortlessly deploy sophisticated Real-Time IP applications, service providers can more easily capitalize on today's revenue-generating services, ensure data integrity and secure a dramatic return-on-investment (ROI).

Solid's carrier-grade data management solution is a suite of products that blends traditional data management concepts with innovative technologies specifically designed for the demands of distributed, highly-available complex systems found in network infrastructures, mobile telematics applications and digital content delivery. Solid is actively supporting carriers, developers and service providers in rapidly creating and deploying the next generation, triple play applications that exploit the potential of Real-Time services.

Used extensively within the telecom marketplace, the QNX Neutrino RTOS provides a high-availability framework within a memory-protected microkernel architecture. With QNX Neutrino's patented distributed processing capabilities, users can simplify the design of their fault-resilient systems and achieve maximum scalability.
"Solid is laser-focused on helping OEMs and providers satisfy the ever-increasing demand for new and complex telco services," said Alain Couder, president and CEO, Solid Information Technology. "Users that leverage the integrated Solid/QNX technology get to market with new Real-Time services and capabilities much faster than ever before without compromising functionality, availability, reliability and performance."

"In today's competitive market, service providers and OEMs must react promptly to trends and deliver the Real-Time, highly-available features that users will pay for," said Dave Curley, vice president, marketing, QNX Software Systems. "The integrated Solid/QNX platform makes it possible for them to quickly develop and deliver scalable, Real-Time, high-performance, highly-available, distributed applications and capture increasing customer demand, with low total cost of ownership."

Providers Gain Instant Competitive Differentiation
The integration of the QNX Neutrino RTOS and the Solid BoostEngine frees OEMs, developers, and service providers to focus on their core competencies and develop the most profitable and advanced IP applications. The integrated offering:
-- Enables the development of new Real-Time, value-added services more
quickly and cost-effectively with increased return on investment (ROI);
-- Significantly accelerates the deployment of highly available HA
applications;
