Real-Time Business Segment of Concurrent Computer

POMPANO BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - May 15, 2017) - Battery Ventures, a global, technology-focused investment firm, announced today it has completed the acquisition of Concurrent Real-Time, a business segment of Concurrent Computer Corporation (NASDAQ: CCUR), a software and services company. The transaction creates a new, independent operating business named Concurrent Real-Time, Inc. As part of the transaction, Battery General Partner Russell Fleischer and Battery Vice President Jordan Welu will join Concurrent Real-Time's board.

Concurrent Real-Time produces real-time software and systems, meaning technology that powers applications or simulations with mission-critical performance requirements, including those serving industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, energy and financial. The company's product suite includes RedHawk, a real-time Linux operating system; NightStar, a set of development tools designed to aid developers in building better and faster real-time applications; and SIMulation Workbench, a real-time simulation application that runs on RedHawk and executes advanced, high-frame-rate, multiple model simulations.

"Our business plan for Concurrent is dedicated to expanding our leadership position in real-time software solutions, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), man-in-the-loop (MIL), data-acquisition and process-control," said Ken Jackson, President and CEO of Concurrent Real-Time. "We will remain dedicated to continued product innovation, just as we have done historically with early support of new platform technologies. Our customers will continue to receive high quality support and professional service."

"We have a solid foundation of blue-chip customers that include many of the world's aerospace and defense integrators," Jackson added. "By expanding our product portfolio through the SIMulation Workbench platform, we are addressing new market segments, including the automotive market. We have already added twenty-four new automotive customers that use both HIL and MIL simulation, and we see strong demand for real-time systems."
