Ardence Software Streaming Platform
The Ardence Software-Streaming Platform enables cost reductions and productivity gains by centralizing the delivery and control of Microsoft Windows®, SuSE Linux, Redhat Linux & Turbolinux operating systems along with all their applications. Streaming the OS & applications from the network provides desktops, servers, or devices with unmatched manageability and reliability, while reducing operating costs. PCs and devices can be operated without a hard-disk Drive and be managed remotely via a local or remote server while processing locally, without the need for increased RAM.
RTX
RTX is a deterministic control solution for Windows – saving developers time, reducing system costs & getting products to market faster. It is a solution that supports multi-processor, multi-core, and mobile platforms. RTX enhances Windows' universally adopted look/feel with features that give developers real-time determinism, better control, and unmatched dependability.
Phar Lap ETS
The Phar Lap ETS real-time operating system provides system designers with the most reliable, highest performing, and easy to deploy hard-real-time development environment. Based on x86 architectures, ETS offers a comprehensive suite of tools that smoothly integrates into he well-known Microsoft Visual Studio IDE – minimizing development & debugging time. With support for all standard BIOS implementations & the industry's smallest operational footprint, the in32 API compliant Phar Lap ETS RTOS enables developers to install, configure and start developing within 2-4 hrs.
ReadyOn
Ardence ReadyOn enables OEMs to integrate instant availability with enhanced reliability and corruption protection into their designs. Additional benefits include reducing manufacturing costs and speeding time to market. The enhanced end-user experience of instant-on/off functionality & secure, corruption proof reliability in devices using the Windows operating system provides OEMs with clear competitive advantages and the required functionality to compete in tomorrow's markets.
ArdenceSelect
ArdenceSelect is a next-generation product (the direct result of customer feedback about ReadyOn) that provides single OS systems with the ability to boot to multiple configurations (personalities). OEMs can easily re-configure and update products remotely, and even provide multiple configurations based on boot-sequence options. This device-personality manager enhances the user experience & provides a separate utility configuration that helps in system diagnostics & enables rapid recovery.
BonD/APT
Bandwidth On-Demand and Application Priority Technology allocate and prioritize bandwidth and CPU cycles to desired application(s), negating any performance degradation from the OS & other applications. This capability insures optimal performance and reduces latencies. For instance, applications such as videos and games can operate with optimized performance regardless of other bandwidth-intensive and CPU-intensive applications running simultaneously (which continue to operate at a lower priority). VOIP, VOD & Internet search can also be prioritized – without having to tune a router or add hardware to the configuration.
In 2005, Ardence won the ComputerWorld Horizon Award.
In 2006, Ardence won the CRN Best In Show Award at IBM PartnerWorld.
Ardence, Inc. changed its name from VenturCom in 2004.
