San Francisco, CA; Embedded Systems Conference — (press release excerpt) — Eternal Systems made its debut today, demonstrating the latest version of its breakthrough FT/ORB embedded fault-tolerance solution, and introducing its new NIFTI lightweight fault-detector/notifier software.

Designed for distributed, multi-tiered, embedded computing environments, Eternal Systems FT/ORB 2.0 transforms true fault tolerance from a costly, complex, custom programming project requiring specialized knowledge to an affordable, easy-to-use, off-the-shelf solution any programmer can use to quickly make an application fault tolerant. Ideal for use in computer-based communications, military and aerospace, industrial control, transportation, and medical systems, the software's low cost and ease-of-use make implementing true fault tolerance practical for a much broader range of applications than was possible before.

Eternal Systems also announced delivery of its NIFTI software, the first featherweight, high-performance, non-intrusive fault detector/notifier solution. This highly scaleable, distributed software solution allows an embedded system with hundreds to thousands of processors to actively detect and manage faulty or failed processors, eliminating the need for cumbersome, expensive implementations.

Eternal Systems' FT product family provides a reliable, small-footprint software infrastructure that enables embedded applications to achieve true fault tolerance in a range of demanding computing environments, and is available for a variety of middleware and operating system platforms, including Linux. Eternal Systems FT/ORB 2.0 is available now for the Vertel e*ORB running on Linux. FT/ORB 2.0 includes thinFT, etGateway, etConsole and etEngine components for quickly implementing fault-tolerant solutions in a broad range of distributed embedded computer environments. NIFTI software is available now for various embedded environments including Linux.
