Duet Technologies Teams With Harris & Jeffries to Expedite ATM Product Development.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United StatesSan Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 30, 1997--Duet Technologies, Inc., a leader in custom networking technology development services, and Harris & Jeffries, Inc. (H&J), the market leader in ATM and Frame Relay A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote distances, and services are offered by most major carriers. software, today announced a joint licensing agreement under which the two companies will exchange ATM technology and expertise. Under the terms of the agreement, Duet will license H&J's Soft-ATM Signalling Software Subsystem (SSS SSS abbr. sick sinus syndrome ), ILMI ILMI Integrated Local Management Interface ILMI Interim Local Management Interface ILMI Interim Link Management Interface (ATMF) ILMI Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor (US National Park Service) Subsystem, and PNNI (Private Network-to-Network Interface) A routing protocol used between ATM switches in an ATM network. It lets the switches inform each other about network topology so they can make appropriate forwarding decisions. Routing Subsystem for use in its ATM Network Emulator and as core technology for other ATM development products for ATM manufacturers. In exchange, H&J will tap Duet's testing products, design and development services to expedite ATM product development. Harris & Jeffries' ATM technology will be deployed immediately as part of Duet's ATM Network Emulator, which is scheduled to ship later this year. Duet's ATM Network Emulator is designed to offer ATM hardware and software manufacturers a cost-effective, distributed emulation software suite that enables vendors to test and validate their ATM products and solutions quickly and easily without the expense of building and maintaining extensive test beds. The Duet ATM Network Emulator will include a comprehensive suite of tests for a variety of conditions, such as call handling capacity, error handling, and interoperability testing, creating a real-world environment for vendors to test their ATM technology. Duet will be previewing the ATM Network Emulator in Booth 9079 at NetWorld+Interop Atlanta, Oct. 8-10. Soft-ATM users can benefit by using the Duet high-performance ATM Network Emulator to expedite conformance, interoperability, and regression testing In software development, testing a program that has been modified in order to ensure that additional bugs have not been introduced. When a program is enhanced, testing is often done only on the new features. through the emulation of large ATM networks. Users can also benefit by using Duet's engineering, development, and testing service to dramatically improve ATM product time-to-market. Harris & Jeffries will be showing Soft-ATM at Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. West in San Jose, Sept. 29-Oct. 3, and Next Generation Networks, Nov. 3-6. "We licensed Harris & Jeffries' Soft-ATM technology because of its superior performance, modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. , and extensibility," said Kittur Nagesh, director of product management for Duet. "By incorporating a high-performance ATM stack into our ATM test and development tools, we can provide our networking customers state-of-the-art, standards-compliant technology to help shorten development and testing of their own ATM hardware and software. This strategic alliance with the leading ATM source code vendor will help Duet and its customers stay ahead of the game in ATM development." "This is consistent with our strategy of providing H&J's customers with superior development tools and test capabilities in our Soft-ATM Product Line and through partners, such as Duet, to dramatically improve product time-to-market," said Ethan Harris, president of Harris & Jeffries, Inc. "We are extremely excited about embarking on this joint licensing agreement with a quality company such as Duet." About Harris & Jeffries, Inc.
