Birdstep Announces Wind River Platform Partnership
Seattle/Oslo - September 7, 2007 - Birdstep Technology (OSE: BIRD), which offers seamless connectivity and mobility client software for laptops, Pocket PCs and smartphones, as well as state-of-the-art real-time embedded database technologies, today announced its Platform Partnership with Wind River, the global leader in device software optimization (DSO).
Wind River and Birdstep will work closely together to offer complete real-time operating system solutions with the added value of fault tolerant data management.
"With increasing complexity of device software today, an operating system alone is only one element to a successful application. There is an ever increasing demand for solid real-time database solutions that can organize and manage large amounts of data quickly and efficiently - we feel Birdstep provides a solution to meet these demands", commented Mark Drexler - Business Development Manager for Wind River.
"Birdstep is excited about the opportunity to be a Wind River Platform Partner", says Steinar Sande, CEO of Birdstep. "Birdstep's broad portfolio of database solutions range from standalone for resource constraint devices, to client/server allowing us to meet more aggressive functionality requirements such as the need for high-availability. This will make it easy for Wind River customers to start small and expand based on their success and growing requirements."
