Beltsville, MD, October 26, 2009 – Empress Software, embedded database
developer central and home of the Empress Embedded Database, and
LynuxWorks, a world leader in the embedded software market, announce
immediate availability of Empress Ultra Embedded Database v10.20 on the
latest LynxOS RTOS 5.0. Empress Embedded Database and LynxOS RTOS (real
time operating system) are the foundation for diverse embedded systems
with hard real-time requirements from mission-critical military and
aerospace applications, to advanced medical systems and diagnostic
equipment, to high-tech industrial and process control systems.
Empress Embedded Database is an advanced, full-featured database engine
specializing in embedded systems data management technology. With
high-performance, small footprint and a variety of popular APIs (C, C++,
SQL, ODBC, and Java), Empress is also unsurpassed in functionality.
Empress is a reliable, zero-maintenance database that delivers
predictable and deterministic response.
The LynxOS RTOS 5.0 is the superior foundation for sophisticated
real-time embedded systems, built upon more than two decades of RTOS
experience. With LynxOS RTOS, developers can build applications and code
that meet the most stringent military- and commercial-grade requirements
for real-time mission critical applications. Code developed for LynxOS
uses open standards and common formats like those found in Linux,
POSIX, and UNIX systems, resulting in faster time-to-market and long
term investment protection through open standards-based development.
“Our first port to LynxOS debuted over 15 years ago back in 1994 and
we’ve been dancing beautifully ever since. The new port demonstrates our
lasting commitment to supporting LynxOS,” states John Kornatowski,
president of Empress Software. “Empress Embedded Database and LynxOS is
a proven, winning combination, relied on for years by customers that
have embedded Empress and LynxOS into their tireless systems and sent
them out into the field including United Defense, Abbott Diagnostics,
and Firestone.”
“Our long-standing working relationship with Empress has helped us
deliver a proven real-time flexible database with a solid and reliable
foundation for customers using embedded systems,” said Robert Day, VP
Marketing, LynuxWorks. “Empress Embedded Database and LynxOS are an
enduring choice for developers looking to create safe and compliant code
for a wide variety of environments.”
