GoAhead Software, a provider of middleware and management infrastructure for telecom, aerospace and defense and media equipment manufacturers, said that it is acquiring embeddedMIND business of S3.
GoAhead said that it will maintain embeddedMIND’s development facility and the team to deliver a set of broader offerings. The embeddedMIND team has been delivering configuration management software with their commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) offering for network equipment manufacturers.
When combined with GoAhead’s high availability middleware, the acquisition offers new options and a portfolio to the market. The embeddedMIND product will continue to be offered as a stand-alone solution. In addition, embeddedMIND will be fully integrated with GoAhead high availability offerings, delivering a set of system services for network equipment manufacturers that are looking for COTS.
John Hansen, CEO of GoAhead Software, said: “The team at embeddedMIND understands the benefits of COTS as clearly as anyone in the industry. We look forward to offering new capabilities that enhance the traditional benefits we have delivered to our customers for years – helping them continue to cut their time-to-market, lower costs and focus scarce resources on differentiating their products in the marketplace.”
John O’Brien, CEO of S3, said: “S3 has developed a successful business around the innovative embeddedMIND product in the configuration management space. We have a recognised brand and several tier one customers. We believe that the GoAhead product portfolio and organisation provide the perfect fit for the further growth and development of the embeddedMIND product technology and the delivery of a complete solution to customers.”
