Novell gets real (time)
September 21, 2006

Novell will launch a version of its SUSE Linux Enterprise operating system for real time systems in October, according to reports, building on a deal it struck with Concurrent Computer in January 2006.

As reported at the time the deal was for Novell and real-time systems specialist Concurrent to jointly sell and support the Concurrent Real-Time Extensions Powered by SUSE Linux platform.

According to News.com the product will now be known as SLERT (SUSE Linux Enterprise Real-Time) and will debuted at the Gartner Symposium on October 9.

According to the initial deal, both companies will also provide services and technical support for the solution, while Novell will also sell Concurrent's NightStar development toolset for debugging distributed real-time applications.

Potential applications cited by the vendors include trading floor and market data servers in the financial services industry, while News.com named Siemens Medical Solutions as the first customer for SLERT, using it to power its Magnetom MRI scanning products.
