HP announced that it is adding RadiSys high-availability blade servers and technologies to its Carrier Grade Linux portfolio for the telecommunications and service provider market. The RadiSys boards are based on Intel IA-32 and IA-64 processors, and are available in both blade server and rack-mount configurations.

HP says its platforms support solutions that comply with industry standards from the Service Availability Forum (SAF) and the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) working group, and will be offered in a number of form-factors, including PICMG 2.16, AdvancedTCA, and other standards.

According to HP, the Radisys platfoms are suited to the demands of always-on, robust networking and compute applications. When integrated with HP's OpenCall software, the high-density, high-performance blade server systems provide large network and compute operators with tested, application-ready platforms on which to build and run their applications, the company says.

HP says it will market and support Carrier Grade Linux systems based on the RadiSys server products in North America, EMEA, and the Asia-Pacific region through its worldwide sales and support organizations.
