Linux Solutions for Real-Time Vibration Testing and Analysis

Concurrent Computer Corporation (NASDAQ: CCUR), a leading provider of integrated, high-performance COTS-based computer solutions for mission-critical computing, and Experimental Design & Analysis Solutions Inc. (EDAS), an innovator in real-time dynamic data monitoring and processing, today announced an alliance to deliver real-time vibration testing and analysis solutions. Application software will run on Concurrent iHawk(TM) multiprocessing systems powered by the RedHawk(TM) real-time Linux(R) operating system.

The iHawk is Concurrent’s high-performance, multiprocessor computer platform based on the Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU. At the heart of the iHawk is Concurrent’s RedHawk Linux operating system, compatible with the popular Red Hat Linux distribution. RedHawk’s real-time kernel provides enhanced real-time determinism and I/O throughput for high-performance data acquisition applications.

“We are delighted to provide a cost-effective, COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf), PCI-based data acquisition and vibration analysis tool for our customers in aerospace and automotive industries,” said Ken Jackson, vice president of business development. “Partnering with EDAS offers a great contribution to our overall data acquisition market strategy.”

“Concurrent offers the ideal platform for our software products. We’re excited about the opportunities that this partnership presents,” said Dr. Kurt Nichol, EDAS president. “Our customers will be the big winners.”
