GoAhead Software announced that it is shifting to an open source business model. As part of the move, the company also said that it is acquiring open source software provider Avantellis from Emerson Network Power. The deal marks the second acquisition for Bellevue-based GoAhead this year, following its purchase of embeddedMind in January.

“The adoption of open source by industry leaders combined with the rapid maturing of OpenSAF technology makes the timing of this decision ideal for our company,” said Asif Naseem, President and COO of GoAhead Software, in a statement. “We look forward to contributing our breadth of experience in high availability software to this vibrant community.”
