Solid-State Disks: Pushing the Envelope in Blade Server Design
Summary
The Carrier Grade Linux 2.0 specification represents a tremendous step forward for the telecommunications, networking, and data delivery industries in the move towards low cost, COTS-based platforms. Concurrent with evolving hardware standards such as CPCI and ATCA, defining a standard set of operating system, software development, and user-space capabilities facilitates the development of interoperable, portable, and maintainable systems and applications. Linux distributions that can demonstrate compliance with the latest, up-to-date CGL specification, such as TimeSys' CGL 2.0-compliant distributions, provide a firm foundation for the development of next generation COTS-based telecommunications and networking platforms.
Regardless of the CGL-compliant distribution that you select, the emergence of Linux software standards supported by multiple vendors and the ability to openly demonstrate how a distribution achieves compliance is a critical step forward for Linux, and provides significant benefits for customers who require CGL-compliance, for the vendors who provide these distributions, and for the Open Source movement in general.
