Embedded Solution Partners and LVL7 Expand Relationship: ESP Approved as FASTPATH Services Provider


SAN MATEO, Calif. and RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., April 10
-- Embedded Solution Partners, LLC and LVL7 Systems, Inc. announced today that they are expanding their reseller relationship to collaborate on professional services for LVL7's market leading FASTPATH® software portfolio. This new level of collaboration is expected to enable both companies to better address the growing need on the part of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for more complete solutions in Ethernet and IP communications systems.

"Increasingly, network equipment manufacturers are asking us to provide professional services to complement our product and technology offerings," said Curt Schacker, CEO of Embedded Solution Partners. "While networking products continue to increase in complexity, so do the pressures to bring those products to market more quickly and at lower costs to retain OEM margins. We are finding that the combination of FASTPATH® and our networking services experts is a great way to help our clients cope with these challenges."

Erik Dixon, CEO and Founder of LVL7 Systems, added, "Expanding the Embedded Solution Partners' role with a broad services component is a great way for them to bring increased value to OEM customer relationships. Our FASTPATH® software portfolio is continually adding advanced features and capabilities; and silicon suppliers are integrating new functions into their products on an ongoing basis. Both of those factors add a layer of sophistication and complexity that makes services an increasingly important part of providing a true production-ready solution. We're pleased to extend our partnership with Embedded Solution Partners as they advance to the next level of development services and customer support."

Embedded Solution Partners has already executed on a number of FASTPATH engagements, including a port of FASTPATH® 2000 to a next generation optical line terminal switch module and a port of FASTPATH® 4000 to a blade server switch. Services offerings include requirements definition and refinement; system architecture; hardware and software design and development; and complete, turnkey solutions.
