Race Cars, Linux, and Videotape
Overview A leader in digital video recording devices for the security industry, Australian company OpiaVision ran its unique WaveServe products, including a specialized application for use in racing cars, on an embedded Red Hat Linux operating system. The operating system was proving unreliable, and adequate support was hard to come by. The system was causing a high rate of product failures. In late 2005, OpiaVision migrated all its products to Microsoft Windows CE 5.0, writing code in Visual C++ .NET, and hasn't looked back. Product faults caused by operating system issues have dropped by 80 percent and the system is more reliable, faster, and more efficient.
