HYDERABAD: Catalytic Software, a US-based provider of just in time software
development, testing and support services for system level companies, has bagged
an order to develop the new version of ChromeLinux, which is reportedly three
times faster than a standard Apache server.
Part of the development of the product will be will be carried out in its
Hyderabad centre. ChromeLinux/webserver is the first product in the line of
communication infrastructure servers developed by Kirkland-based Chromium
Communications. The company has partnered with chromium to provide development
services and work on future products of chromium.
The ChromeLinux assignment requires Catalytic Software to focus on building a
hardware abstraction layer on micro-versioning technology that will enable
customer's systems to be updated remotely via the web.
Chromium communications is building a messaging platform that provides its
customers with a unified messaging experience across multiple platforms.
"We are working towards building the first "just in time"
software development infrastructure that would ensure that the customer
experiences no discontinuity between making a service request and finding an
answer for that or the necessary help," said the firm’s CEO Swain Porter.
The product will also be able to fix bugs, give products updates and custom
features remotely. The JIT (Just in time) is an approach to customer care that
ensures that customers receive immediately product support and updates.
Chromelinux is expected to be ready for testing and delivery in the next five
months. The development team deployed onsite to develop a range of products for
chromium will initially have 15 engineers that would later be increased to 125
engineers by the end of the year.
