Novell ships Real Time 10 for mission-critical apps

Novell is shipping Suse Linux Enterprise Real Time 10, the latest version of its open source real-time OS for running high-performance, time-sensitive, mission-critical applications.

The system is aimed at financial services organisations. With Suse Linux Enterprise Real Time 10, Novell said firms can respond more rapidly to changing markets and new information, get greater application reliability and predictability, and identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks.

With Novell's real-time technology, customers can segment portions of their processors for high-priority mission-critical workloads, as well as ensure that other system processes and tasks do not interrupt them.

That means these workloads deliver predictable performance in time-critical environments, said Novell.
