What is mission critical? It’s one of those, “ask five people and you’ll get five different answers” questions. For this exercise, I asked the question of Arun Subbarao, the Vice President of Engineering at Lynx Software Technologies, because it’s something he deals with on a daily basis. Upon his response, the next questions was, “How far are you willing to go to make your system meet that criteria?” But the real questions is, “How much are you willing to pay?” And that’s just the beginning of this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
