MontaVista Software adds regional design centers
Apr. 26, 2000

Sunnyvale, CA -- (press release) -- MontaVista Software Inc., developer of the Hard Hat Linux operating system for embedded applications today announced opening of design centers in Arizona and New Hampshire. The two design centers bring together focused teams of engineers to enhance and expand the MontaVista Hard Hat Linux offering. Joining existing Sunnyvale and Dallas offices, MontaVista now boasts a nationwide presence as the leading provider of Linux for embedded system solutions.

The New Hampshire design center will be led by Dan Malek, the well-known Linux and open source figure, with extensive contributions to Linux for PowerPC architecture and networking interfaces. Heading up the Arizona design center team is Ken Keller, a highly respected designer and engineering manager who comes to MontaVista with over 24 years of experience in the real-time / embedded industry.

"With Dan Malek and Ken Keller, MontaVista once again adds 'best in class' professional engineering talent to our staff," says Kevin Morgan, vice president of engineering. "Both teams will have responsibilities spanning microprocessor architectures, partner and customer board support programs, with aggressive plans for continued enhancement and refinement of Linux capabilities, including high performance I/O and networking."

"Bringing Ken and Dan onboard to head up our Design Centers reinforces a clear commitment from MontaVista to the open source community" says James Ready, MontaVista CEO and president. "The intellectual capital of highly talented engineers in these locations strengthens MontaVista’s presence on a national level."
