IntervalZero, Inc. - Formerly Ardence, a Citrix Company - develops embedded software products that deliver real-time control capability for the embedded technology market. Founded in July 2008 by a group of former Ardence executives, IntervalZero is headed by CEO Jeffrey D. Hibbard.
The company's name, IntervalZero, comes from the company's mission to deliver deterministic, hard real-time and instant-on functionality - which is the technical definition of the optimal experience between a system command and execution being an "interval of zero."
IntervalZero's embedded software solutions are deployed worldwide - primarily in Industrial Automation, Military/Aerospace, Medical Device, and Test & Measurement.
