Delivering high availability platforms in an open environment
High Availability (HA) middleware is a critical element of telecommunications platforms that has traditionally been seen as a proprietary, differentiating technology.
Recent economic and ecosystem changes have led to the recognition that the ability to support rapid application development and application portability across platforms rather than base platform middleware is the key differentiator to service providers.
To address this change, an...

Middleware tackles high availability DSP management for the data plane
Historically, equipment makers have developed their HA software in house.
That paradigm is changing, however.
Here Mike outlines the most helpful features Telecom Equipment Manufacturers looking to save costs and speed time to market can look for in COTS HA middleware solutions.

SA Forum enhances platform management and integration
In the second half of 2008, the SA Forum plans to release its next generation of enhanced specifications.
Dr. Naseem takes us through the key points of the new release, which will provide a new Platform Management Service (PLM) that will close the gap between the Hardware Platform Interface (HPI) and Application Interface Specification (AIS) services.
These upgrades will further advance the SA Forum’s mission of enabling the use of COTS ...

White Paper: Mapping Java EE to SAForum Specifications: A NEP Perspective
Java EE can be integrated with the Carrier-Grade Base Platform Middleware and provide an environment that makes it possible to combine Java and native applications in the same cluster.
It is important that Java applications have the same level of availability as native applications and this can be achieved with a new Java API, Java Availability API, which makes it possible to integrate with AMF. It is equally important to get an alignment of ...

White Paper: The Carrier-Grade Data Plane
Highly available, high-performance real-time processing is critical to delivering the converged multimedia broadband services that consumers demand.
From wireless base stations to advanced media gateways, network equipment designers are increasingly relying on clusters of multi-core DSPs to deliver the scalable performance needed for these compute-intensive applications.
The Enea dSPEED Platform provides the fine-grain monitoring, control, de...
