IntervalZero

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
IntervalZero's lineage traces back to 1980, when a group of <a href="/facts/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology/Xk49vNA8">Massachusetts Institute of Technology</a> engineers started VenturCom and began to develop expertise in embedded technology. It was during this time that <a href="/facts/Venix/tp21TLQu">Venix</a> was developed and marketed.
Their first innovation was to focus on <a href="/facts/Windows_NT_4.0/EcKYxrkx">Windows NT 4.0</a> as a possible real-time solution[buzzword] for the Industry in 1995 by releasing RTX.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3">3</a> Since then, a lot of controllers are PC and <a href="/facts/Windows/bwhAhuSL">Windows</a> based.
Their second innovation came as a second product, Component Integrator, which makes <a href="/facts/Windows_NT_4.0/EcKYxrkx">Windows NT 4.0</a> an embedded OS. It was licensed by <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a> a few years later and became the origin of <a href="/facts/Windows_Embedded/gQLmd4aw">Windows NT Embedded</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a>
In 2004, VenturCom, was renamed <a href="/facts/Ardence/WEbruszf">Ardence</a>.
In December 2006, <a href="/facts/Citrix/XffnyLER">Citrix</a> Systems announced an agreement to acquire Ardence's enterprise and embedded software businesses. It integrated the software streaming products into the Citrix portfolio in 2007 and early 2008.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a>
In 2008, a group of former Ardence executives founded IntervalZero and acquired the Ardence embedded software business from Citrix Systems Inc.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a> <a href="/facts/Citrix/XffnyLER">Citrix</a> retained a minority ownership the firm.
On July 28, 2008, Intervalzero announced that it had acquired the Ardennce embedded software division with Citrix Systems Inc.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a>
