McObject Adds Support for Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY® RTOS,Building On Defense, Aerospace and Automotive Market Successes

McObject and Green Hills Software today announced the immediate availability of McObject’s tiny-footprint eXtremeDB in-memory embedded database for Green Hills Software’s industry-leading royalty-free real-time operating system, INTEGRITY.

Issaquah, WA October 6, 2004 -- The availability of eXtremeDB for INTEGRITY builds on the companies’ joint design wins in key embedded markets including defense, aerospace, and automotive. Among other sales, a global defense contractor and a prominent automotive communications systems manufacturer both recently adopted the combination of McObject’s eXtremeDB and Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY RTOS.

For applications that can’t afford to fail, customers need a proven, solid software foundation. McObject’s eXtremeDB supports this with features such as transaction logging and an optional High Availability (HA) sub-system. Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY RTOS features full memory, application and device driver protection along with guaranteed resource availability for systems’ most critical tasks. At the same time, INTEGRITY’s architecture guarantees true real-time deterministic performance with fast interrupt response times and rapid context switching. INTEGRITY is certified compliant to the latest 2003 POSIX.1 API and also features field upgrading/debugging and dynamic task downloading - features valuable to many of today’s applications.

The combination of Green Hills Software and McObject brings high value economically to mutual end customers, as well. Both eXtremeDB and INTEGRITY provide a highly cost-effective, scalable embedded solution, with minimal RAM and CPU requirements on the target system, thus lessening manufacturing cost, while enabling customers to deploy extremely reliable solutions.

Both companies’ products cut time-to-market and recognize that combating software bugs can be the most time-consuming aspect of embedded software development. To that end, Green Hills Software offers built-in RTOS debugging capabilities along with its market-leading MULTI Debugger, and eXtremeDB from McObject provides an innovative self-diagnostic API that catches most common database programming flaws early - when repairs are much less costly.

“McObject welcomes Green Hills Software as an important ally in our shared drive to improve customers’ profitability through better approaches to embedded systems software development and deployment,” McObject CEO and Co-founder Steve Graves said. “Recent mutual design wins point to the market’s recognition of our complementary offerings, and our alliance will surely increase that receptiveness.”
