MVACEC 2008

GoAhead® Software, the worldwide leader in open standards-based high availability and systems management middleware for carrier-grade and mission critical systems, today announces general availability of SelfReliant 4.3, the newest version of the company’s flagship product, now deployed in more than 30,000 instances worldwide. This release consolidates a number of fixes and performance improvements, and demonstrates GoAhead’s commitment to the continued enhancement of its SelfReliant product line. Network equipment providers (NEPs) and defense and aerospace systems integrators leverage GoAhead’s commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) high availability solutions to speed time-to-revenue, reduce project risk and focus on innovation.

“With SelfReliant 4.3, we’ve focused on ensuring the standard of quality our customers have grown accustomed to,” states Dr. Asif Naseem, GoAhead President and COO. “Our customers have a common need – to get revenue-generating applications to market quicker. They can’t afford to put projects at risk by leveraging unproven solutions. GoAhead is committed to providing them with solutions that lower their project risk and enable them to gain a competitive edge.”

“With more than 40 SelfReliant customers and more than half of the Tier one telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) using their solutions, GoAhead leads the market in providing COTS high availability solutions,” says Dr. Lance A. Leventhal, producer of the AdvancedTCA Summit, AdvancedTCA Summit-Europe and MicroTCA Summit.

Also a factor in the company’s position as market leader is GoAhead SAFfire™ middleware, GoAhead’s newest open standards-based product line. SAFfire features not only the sophisticated high availability and management capabilities found in SelfReliant, but also the most comprehensive implementation of the Service Availability Forum (SA Forum) Application Interface Specification (AIS).
