Green Hills and Allegro Software Deliver
the Industry’s First Commercial-Grade Media Server Reference
Solution
Built on Proven Platform for Secure Networking and Leading Commercial
DLNA/UPnP Technology – Running on the Freescale PowerQUICC™ Architecture
FREESCALE TECHNOLOGY FORUM, ORLANDO, FL —June 27, 2007—Green
Hills Software, Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization
(DSO) and real-time operating
systems (RTOS), and Allegro
Software Development Corporation, the leading provider of commercial
DLNA/UPnP solutions, today announced the availability of a complete media

Systems Division. “Developers of next-generation media server products
can expect that the combined hardware/software solution from Green Hills
and Allegro will be engineered to deliver reliable, DLNA-compliant media
server capabilities while reducing the time it takes to bring these new
designs to market.”
“In the competitive home media server market it is key to address
time-to-market,” commented Robert Van Andel, president of Allegro
Software Development Corporation. “By providing widely deployed,
field-proven DLNA/UPnP-compliant software for our joint reference solution,
our customers will be able to achieve significant reductions in the time
it takes to receive DLNA certification for their end products, resulting
in faster product availability compared to using other DLNA/UPnP solutions.”
