GoAhead Software announces 25,000 deployment and new key accounts
Leading high availability and management provider seals market position with proven track-record and leadership in driving standards
AdvancedTCA SUMMIT, Santa Clara, Calif.—October 17, 2007—GoAhead® Software, the worldwide leader in open standards-based high availability and systems management middleware for carrier-grade and mission critical systems, today announces more than 25,000 commercial deployments of GoAhead SelfReliant® middleware, the company’s flagship product. In addition to the success in the field, GoAhead signed several new key accounts including LG-Nortel, Raytheon, Soapstone Networks (a division of Avici Systems), Sonus Networks, and WiChorus.
“We at GoAhead are committed to 100 percent customer success and are thrilled to reach this unprecedented milestone of 25,000 global deployments,” says Jim Ewel, GoAhead CEO and chairman. “Customers choose GoAhead because we are the only solution out there that can both meet their sophisticated availability and management requirements, as well as reduce project risk by leveraging more than 11 years of doing this successfully,” states Ewel.
Also a factor in the growing momentum is the company’s new product line, GoAhead SAFfire™ middleware. SAFfire features the most comprehensive implementation to date of the Service Availability Forum (SA Forum) Application Interface Specification (AIS). Both SAFfire and SelfReliant have roadmaps to future versions and support.
“GoAhead is a market leader of high availability and management solutions,” states Eric Heikkila, director of embedded hardware and systems for Venture Development Corporation. “GoAhead’s success can be attributed to their proven track-record, a commitment to standards and the foresight to partner with leading hardware vendors to create application ready platforms,” Heikkila explains.
GoAhead solutions provide 99.999 percent availability or better for a broad range of development projects such as wireless base station controllers, Node Bs, softswitches, multi-play applications, IMS services, and command and control systems and applications.
