Scannex Chooses Green Hills Software Toolchain
for PBX Data Range
Integrated Environment Increases Productivity and Accelerates Project
SANTA
BARBARA, CA—JUNE 22, 2009—Green Hills Software, Inc.,
the world leader in certified
safe and secure real-time operating systems (RTOS) and device software
optimization (DSO), has been selected to provide the real-time operating
system (RTOS) and development tools for the Scannex ip.buffer range
of PBX data collection products. Scannex chose Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY® RTOS, MULTI® integrated
development environment, optimizing
compilers and Green Hills Probe for
its ARM9-based system.
Scannex conducted an extensive market search and evaluations prior to
selecting an RTOS. Factors involved in the decision process included
debugging capabilities, core size, cost and company pedigree. The Green
Hills toolchain provided immediate productivity gains and significantly
accelerated the development process.
"The integration of MULTI, Probe and INTEGRITY enabled us to debug
and develop much more efficiently, and with the confidence that the end
product would be stable," said Scannex technical director, Matthew
Page."The remote Ethernet debugging capability of INTEGRITY became
an indispensable part of our development cycle. This incredible level
of debugging has enabled us to produce a very mature, stable product
in a much shorter timeframe."
"The INTEGRITY RTOS has been proven to meet the highest levels
of safety and security in mission-critical applications," observed
Christopher Smith, vice president marketing, Green Hills Software, "and
the same benefits are available in business-critical applications, where
interruption of operation can impact directly on revenue."
Scannex designs and manufactures data collection products that are primarily
used in the telephone call accounting, alarm and secure remote administration
markets. There is a wide range of PBX types that output their data either
by a standard serial connection or across the network using TCP/IP protocols.
The Scannex buffers make it easy to collect the data reliably from these
PBXs.
Many companies employ call accounting software to charge out telephone
calls made on their exchange – and loss of data means loss of revenue.
In addition, many have quality of service (QoS) requirements for telephony.
Consequently, the buffers must work reliably over a long period of time
with little, or no, user intervention. In some cases Scannex’ products
are installed in wide area networks where many of the nodes are inaccessible
or unmanned, perhaps a drive of several hours apart.
