LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Intel and its Dialogic subsidiary, today announced that it has expanded its operating system (OS) platform coverage with the addition of support for Linux. Several early adopter customers are currently using the Dialogic development kit to port to the Linux OS. Dialogic enables developers to combine telecommunication components with traditional Linux-based data technology to build true e-Business solutions on a reliable, high performance, cost effective OS.

Dialogic developers are finding that support for Linux enables them to meet customer demands for new voice and data integration needs. For enterprise system owners, Linux is an open platform that can provide high performance at affordable prices. For Public Network service providers, Linux offers scalability and management for the network environment. To provide the investment protection that developers require, Dialogic offers the same R4 API developers use today which will allow them to quickly enjoy the benefits of Linux without incurring the expense of a costly re-write to existing computer telephony applications.

Moving to Market With Linux

“Offering e-Business Linux solutions is key to our company's growth, as Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Application Service Providers (ASPs) increasingly rely on Linux to implement integrated voice and data solutions like those based on our CenterPoint Communications Components,” said Scott Sorensen, president, Coresoft Technologies. “We are pleased Dialogic has delivered on its commitment to support Linux and pleased to be part of their early adopter program.”

“As the industry leader, Dialogic continues to provide us with critical building blocks that enable us to develop solutions for applications deployed in the public network,” said Jack Petro, director of engineering at ReadyCom. “With Dialogic support for Linux, our 'Store and Forward Messaging Gateway' can take advantage of this operating system's performance so we can provide the higher level of service that our customers expect.”

“Dialogic support of Linux is a key component for our company's market development strategy,” said Pat Lennon, Vice President of Marketing for Key Voice Technologies. “Linux provides a cost reduced, open system platform for Enterprise applications like our Interchange Unified Messaging product. Furthermore, Linux support of open Internet standards will enable us to deploy a new class of integrated voice and data solutions for critical business systems.”

Commitment To Linux

Dialogic products are fully integrated and tested on Linux. During this initial release phase, Dialogic will offer support on Linux for a strategic set of PCI and ISA products including voice, analog and digital network interfaces, fax, conferencing, station set and speech platform. As the Linux market segment continues to grow and mature, Dialogic will expand Linux support to PCI and CompactPCI (cPCI) products based on the DM3 architecture.

“The availability of Dialogic products on the Linux OS is a very exciting opportunity for the company and our early adopter customers,” said Art Herzog, strategic marketing manager at Dialogic. “Linux has clearly established itself in the Internet economy. By giving our customers the flexibility, scalability and cost effectiveness they need to compete at Internet speed, now they will be able to integrate voice and data to build intelligent communications solutions, offering seamless services to their end users.”
