AUGUSTA'S MIDDLEWARE POWERS NETWORK 2.0 FOR ENTERPRISE.


Augusta Systems Inc., Morgantown, W. Va., provider of intelligent enterprise network technologies, has released EdgeFrontier(TM) v2.0, middleware Software that functions as a conversion or translation layer. It is also a consolidator and integrator. Custom-programmed middleware solutions have been developed for decades to enable one application to communicate with another that either runs on a different platform or comes from a  for building and managing intelligent networks, systems and applications featuring data from sensors, actuators, wireless sensor networks “WSN” redirects here. For the metasyntax, see Wirth syntax notation.

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as

, industrial monitoring, asset tracking, public safety and other applications. EdgeFrontier eliminates the need for separate middleware applications, since it can integrate data from any device or in any protocol. The software also eliminates the need for custom development to integrate and converge data from edge assets and enterprise data repositories See repository.  into enterprise networks.

"EdgeFrontier middleware is a powerful addition to the network-centric enterprise," said Charlie Stuewe, General Manager of Crane Co.'s Wireless Monitoring Solutions (WMS WMS Warehouse Management System

"When installed on computing devices, EdgeFrontier enables those machines to easily support processing and correlation of data from wireless sensors see mote. , RFID systems, video cameras and other devices and systems -- including Crane WMS MicroObserver Unattended Ground Sensor Systems. EdgeFrontier enables an enterprise network to intelligently connect with and control sensors and devices that reside at the network's edge."

EdgeFrontier provides users with a complete, remotely-configurable middleware solution for integration, processing, correlation, distribution and control throughout the network -- from the edge to the core. EdgeFrontier also acts as an edge application server and can be configured as an edge enterprise service bus, providing an abstraction layer Software that translates a high-level request into the low-level commands required to perform the operation. The most common abstraction layer is the programming interface (API) between an application and the operating system.  to support processing and distribution of data without writing code.

EdgeFrontier, along with Augusta Systems(R) SensorBridge(TM) and SensorPort(TM), are core building-block tools for today's Network 2.0-enabled enterprise. With the rapid growth of sensors, actuators and other devices and systems for security, monitoring, automation, asset tracking, and other applications, Network 2.0 approaches and technologies are critical for efficient and effective enterprise networks, with processing capabilities and intelligent functions not limited to centralized cen·tral·ize

"Most enterprises lack the capacity to easily integrate intelligent information from the edge of the network to the core -- that all changes with Edge Frontier," said Patrick Esposito, president and chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO)

About Augusta Systems

Augusta Systems, Inc. powers intelligent enterprise networks. Augusta Systems products enable collaboration and communication between enterprise networks and edge assets -- sensors, actuators, wireless sensor networks, RFID systems, imagery devices, and other edge-of-network systems and devices -- which have existed beyond the reach of these networks. With platforms for building and managing solutions featuring data from these edge assets, Augusta Systems provides simplified data integration, processing, correlation, and communication capabilities for Network 2.0-enabled enterprises.

Augusta Systems technologies and integration services - including core products SensorBridge, EdgeFrontier, and SensorPort - support security, monitoring, automation, asset tracking, and other enterprise applications. These technologies reduce the total cost of ownership for intelligent enterprise networks and maximize return on investment for enterprise networks and edge assets.

Through key partnerships, Augusta Systems also offers integrated monitoring and control products, including ThreatViewer(TM), which provides remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a  capabilities for industrial, military, and homeland security Noun 1.
