Green Hills Software Expands Platform for
Secure Networking with Support for NextHop Advanced Control Plane Routing
Comprehensive Collection of Layer 3 IP Routing Protocols for Carrier
and Enterprise-Class Networking Equipment Runs Securely and Reliably
IPv6 Summit, Reston, VA—March 26, 2007—Green Hills
Software, Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization
(DSO) and real-time operating systems (RTOS),
and NextHop Technologies, Inc., the industry leader in layer 3 control
plane software protocols, today announced the availability of Green Hills
Software’s Platform for Secure Networking (PSN) support of NextHop
Technologies’ GateD® advanced layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 routing
software.
Based on the safety and security certified INTEGRITY real-time
operating system and its US-developed IPv4/v6 networking stack, the Green
Hills Platform for Secure Networking delivers industry advancements in
secure communications and access that allow networking equipment developers
to completely secure their devices and the information flowing through
them. The availability of GateD IP routing for PSN allows OEM and ODM
manufacturers to bring cost-effective, reliable core, edge, enterprise
and SOHO (small and home office) devices to market faster while supporting
a complete set of advanced routing and IPv4/IPv6 functionality.
NextHop GateD is the only comprehensive collection of IP routing control
plane protocols targeted at the carrier space. Complete support of IPv4/IPv6
unicast and multicast protocols are available. NextHop GateD protocols
include BGP, ISIS, Fast OSPF, VRRP, MSDP, DVMRP and PIM. Equipment manufacturers
can pick and choose from these individual components or license a variety
of packages targeted at specific applications.
“NextHop is pleased to have our latest GateD advanced routing
solutions available for the Green Hills Platform for Secure Networking,” said
Al Maillet, vice president of worldwide sales, NextHop Technologies. “Giving
our customers the ability to run our protocols on the industry’s
most advanced separation kernel architecture, enables them to deliver
reliable, secure, and cost-effective products to market quickly and efficiently.”
The INTEGRITY RTOS, with its separation kernel technology, is the foundation
of the Platform for Secure Networking. It provides the foundation for
the secure execution of applications and networking protocols required
on network devices today and in the future. INTEGRITY provides network
equipment developers the ability and freedom to architect their device
with absolute security. It supports the requirements and security policies
of Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS), which is the architecture
for composing secure computing systems from high-assurance components.
The key concepts of MILS include: protected execution of applications,
system services and hardware control/access, brick wall partitioning,
guaranteed resource allocation, information flow control between partitions,
stack and application isolation, and containment of errors and attacks.
“Green Hills Software is seeing a large increase in demand for
its Platform for Secure Networking for control-plane, virtual routing
and virtual private networking systems,” said Dan Mender, director
of business development, Green Hills Software. “Having this integration
with an established industry leader like NextHop, enables our customers’ success
in the demanding networking equipment market.”
Availability
Platform for Secure Networking supporting NextHop GateD is expected
to be available in June 2007.
