Although communication by means of symbols and gestures dates to the beginning of human history, the term generally refers to mass communications. , announced today that its System Infrastructure Software Platform (SISP SISP Strategic Information Systems Plan SISP Single Integrated Space Picture SISP Satellite Internet Service Provider SISP Southeastern Internet Service Providers ) supports the IBM eServer This article is about the IBM family of computer servers. For the open access electronic text archive, see EServer.org. IBM eServer was a family of computer servers from IBM Corporation. Integrated Platform for Telecommunications. "The communications industry is experiencing a dramatic transformation from products based on costly proprietary based systems to solutions integrated from commercial off the shelf components," said VK Budhraja, Clovis Solutions founder and Chief Executive Officer. "With IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) and Clovis working together to deliver a highly-available IPT IPT - IP Telephony based solution, the industry will be equipped to deliver products services in record time with significantly less risk and cost." The IBM eServer Integrated Platform for Telecommunications combines IBM eServer BladeCenter T for Telecommunications with Linux and best-in-class management middleware into a solution that offers telecoms improved flexibility, application portability and interoperability. The integration of Linux OS, high-availability middleware, systems management and services into an open, common solution framework is ideal for deploying autonomic autonomic /au·to·nom·ic/ (aw?to-nom´ik) not subject to voluntary control.

"The eServer IPT is based on the principles of the Carrier Grade Open Environment created by the Open Communication Architecture Forum (OCAF OCAF Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Florida ) designed to create a rich and flexible ecosystem of best-in-class products," said Bruce Anthony, Chief Technology Officer, Telecommunications Servers, IBM Systems and Technology Group. "Clovis Solutions SISP HA software is one of a growing number of leading telecom solutions. We are delighted to be working with them to help make our BladeCenter T system, the platform of choice for next generation networks." System Infrastructure SW Platform (SISP) developed by Clovis consists of an extensive set of management modules running on an information model driven core infrastructure. Modules may be selected to best match the application and platform requirements. SISP can be distributed across blades, shelves, and even racks, creating a seamless high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. platform and system management environment across heterogeneous network (networking) heterogeneous network - A network running multiple network layer protocols such as DECnet, IP, IPX, XNS. element building blocks. SISP is complemented by Clovis Works, an advanced suite of tools that enable solution providers to quickly and cost-effectively simulate, integrate, validate, deploy, and maintain their managed applications and platforms. "Clovis' innovative technology is revolutionizing the development and deployment model for next generation communication systems," stated Jim Lawrence Jim Lawrence may refer to:
