Go-HotSwap enables CompactPCI hot swapping, to meet the needs of telecom and datacom companies

SAN JOSE, Calif., August 10, 2004 - Jungo® Software Technologies, announced today the release of Go-HotSwap Version 6.22, a software infrastructure that adds the necessary software modules required to enable CompactPCI hot swapping, and provides the tools and development environment to develop hot swap aware drivers on the latest Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 and Solaris 8,9 operating systems. Go-HotSwap complies with PICMG 2.1 R2.0 requirements for CompactPCI General Use Full Hot Swap Software.

Go-HotSwap is a complete off-the-shelf software offering an ideal solution for hardware vendors, as well as for system integrators and operating system vendors, aiming to provide hot swap capabilities to the end user. Using the Go-HotSwap architecture reduces time-to-market, enabling developers to focus on core technologies instead of going through all the effort involved in developing in-house hot swap software.

"We are happy to release this new and robust version of Go-HotSwap, enabling hardware vendors to approach new markets and offer 'HotSwap' capabilities to their customers" Said Omry Ben David, marketing manager for the software tools division at Jungo. "Thanks to its latest operating system compliance capabilities, the new Go-HotSwap version opens up new markets for the operating system vendors as well. These vendors can now offer hot swap support on their operating systems, enabling them to enter the telecommunication infrastructure and high speed data communication systems markets."

Go-HotSwap supports Solaris 8,9 and Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, utilizing the native Plug-and-Play capabilities of these operating systems. Go-HotSwap software infrastructure consists of a low-level operating system extension, the Hot Swap Engine, which is responsible for the following activities:

• Identifying the insertion/removal of CompactPCI boards
• Notifying the system services and the relevant drivers of a hot swap event
• Notifying the relevant applications of a hot swap event

TThe Go-HotSwap license includes Jungo's WinDriver™ driver development tool, as an integrated component. The driver development toolkit dramatically simplifies the very difficult task of developing a device driver from scratch. It provides a complete solution for creating high performance drivers, which handle interrupts and I/O at optimal rates.
