NextHop Teams With Wind River for Linux 2.6
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California – November 7,
2006— NextHop Technologies® Inc.,
the definitive source for networking software solutions,
today announced an agreement with Wind River, the global
leader in Device Software Optimization (DSO), to pursue
a standard device software development environment
based on Wind River® Platform for Networking
Equipment, Linux Edition and Wind River® Workbench
development suite. NextHop Technologies is a
model Silicon Valley start-up with development efforts
in California, Michigan, Massachusetts and India. By
standardizing on Wind River’s Eclipse-based development
suite, NextHop intends to improve the efficiency and
productivity of its engineering team.
In deciding upon Platform for Network Equipment, Linux
Edition, NextHop continues its tradition of developing
industry-leading solutions on operating systems with
demonstrated market need. Whereas proprietary operating
systems previously dominated embedded applications in
the past, general availability and robustness of Linux,
has gained widespread acceptance today. By recognizing
the trend and being an early adopter, Wind River has
been able to create a robust development suite of tools
and debuggers backed by world-class professional services.
“We are geographically diverse and need robust
tools that are reliable and easy to use in order to develop
our products on time and on budget,” said Daniel
Edelson, vice president engineering, NextHop Technologies. “Choosing
Wind River Linux for our next development environment
was the obvious choice.”
“NextHop delivers outstanding value to our
Linux ecosystem and is a key networking partner for Wind
River,” said Glenn Seiler, director of product
management for Linux platforms at Wind River. “We
have enjoyed an excellent working relationship supplying
joint customers with our products. With NextHop standardizing
their development efforts on Wind River Linux, we can
assure our joint customers the highest levels of integration,
compatibility and optimization.”
