Spotlight on Carrier Grade Linux: Open Standards, Solutions, and Compliance

Overview The Carrier Grade Linux 2.0 specification represents a tremendous step forward for the telecommunications, networking, and data delivery industries in the move towards low cost, COTS-based platforms. Concurrent with evolving hardware standards such as CPCI and ATCA, defining a standard set of operating system, software development, and user-space capabilities facilitates the development of interoperable, portable, and maintainable systems and applications. Linux distributions that can demonstrate compliance with the latest, up-to-date CGL specification, such as TimeSys' CGL 2.0-compliant distributions, provide a firm foundation for the development of next generation COTS-based telecommunications and networking platforms.
