EMBEDDED TECH TRENDS 2020 — ATLANTA. GDCA Inc (Livermore, California) — a company that speciaizes in legacy equipment manufacturing of obsolete embedded computer equipment — has announced a partnership deal with Radisys to indefinitely extend the life of legacy products.

GDCA officials say that customers of the transferred product families now have a path to product availability for as long as needed, which means that customers who have particularly long life cycles or who need greater budget stability can now use GDCA’s life cycle assurance services.

“The leadership at Radisys recognized that even though they were strategically focused, they didn’t have to leave behind customers who still rely on their older product designs. This is a bold move, providing customers with access to parts indefinitely — it’s unheard of in the industry today,” said Ethan Plotkin, CEO of GDCA, “Our two companies have a long history of transferring products, and this agreement takes our partnership to a higher level. We’re honored in the trust Radisys has placed in us to continue supporting their ongoing commitment to their customers.”
