Green Hills Software (Santa Barbara, CA) recently
enhanced its Platform for Secure Networking by adding
secure virtualization and new reference platforms. The
Green Hills approach to system virtualization
enables a complete Linux operating
system and its applications ecosystem
to securely and seamlessly coexist with the
performance, reliability-critical, and realtime
portions of networking devices — all
on a single general purpose microprocessor.
System availability is increased
by eliminating the possibility for a noncritical
application failure or corruption
in the Linux environment to compromise
the critical real-time packet traffic
applications and services running on the INTEGRITY® RTOS.
The Green Hills Platform for Secure Networking is a comprehensive
platform consisting of operating systems, secure virtualization,
development tools, and middleware that enable
developers to create secure, powerful, high-performance connected
electronic products in the least time and at the lowest
cost. In addition to Green Hills Software’s MULTI®, the industry’s
leading embedded software development
toolset, the platform offers the
Green Hills INTEGRITY and velOSity™
operating systems, INTEGRITY PC™
secure virtualization, advanced file systems,
dual IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP host and
routing stack, web server, SSH, SSL, wireless
communications and security software,
Layer 3 IP routing and management
software, USB, and a variety of
other tightly integrated networking and
application protocols. The Platform also
includes out-of-box support for leading silicon reference
designs from vendors such as Broadcom and Fulcrum
Microsystems.
