> Boston, Massachusetts, USA - Embedded Systems Conference, September 6,
> 2001 -- OnCore Systems Corporation, developer of the OnCore OS, makers of
> the world's most powerful embedded real-time operating system, today
> announced that it continues with its worldwide expansion with the opening
> of the Ottawa Design Centre, OnCore's new engineering research facility
> located in Ottawa, Canada.  Telecommunications veteran Paul O'Leary will
> head up the new facility as the Centre's Director.  
> 
>  "It's rewarding to be working for an embedded OS firm that is quickly
> establishing itself as an innovation leader in the field," noted Paul
> O'Leary.  "The embedded design community is hitting some real roadblocks
> with processor, hardware and applications requirements outstripping the
> capabilities of traditional embedded operating systems.  These real
> limitations are causing developers to look for alternatives.  OnCore's OS,
> based on a robust dynamic virtual memory (VM) architecture, is satisfying
> those needs.  I have yet to find any other embedded OS technology that has
> the breadth of capabilities, offers the high level of determinism required
> for mission-critical applications and offers the levels of resiliency
> needed to move forward in the competitive world of embedded technology -
> especially in the telecommunications arena." 
> 
> "One of the things that really attracted me to OnCore," added O'Leary, "
> is its rich API and the ability of that API to handle traditional RTOS
> applications written for VxWorks and pSOS.  This capability allows
> customers to leverage their investment in legacy software and still take
> advantage of state of the art development in Linux and third party
> applications.  I know from experience the significant savings in
> development cost and time to market this offers.  OnCore is unique within
> the industry in bringing this advantage to its customers." 
> 
> O'Leary came to OnCore Systems following a 15-year career with Nortel
> Networks.  While at Nortel, O'Leary held a variety of roles in both
> software development and project management.  In those roles, O'Leary had
> worked on a wide array of products ranging from telephony switches to
> large-scale core routers.  O'Leary graduated from the University of
> Manitoba with a degree in Electrical Engineering and holds a Master's
> Degree in Applied Sciences from the University of Toronto.
> 
> O'Leary has begun building his team at OnCore's Ottawa Design Centre by
> drawing talent from Nortel Networks and IBM's Watson Research Center.  The
> primary focus at the new facility will be to create custom ports of the
> OnCore OS (its core microkernel foundation technology), its modular Linux
> solutions of embedded products and its VxWorks ® and pSOS ® APIs to
> customer specific processors, cores and hardware platforms.  Additionally,
> the team will be tasked with designing vertical market products and
> applications.
