Enea Joins Forces with Tail-f to Accelerate Availability of Carrier-Grade Network Management Solutions.New Functionality Reduces Network OPEX See CAPEX. SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. & STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Enea (STO:ENEA), the world leader in advanced software for network equipment, and Tail-f Systems, the leader in XML-based network management, today announced that they have signed a strategic agreement to deliver the next generation of 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. , on-device network management software to the telecommunications industry. Network operators are under enormous pressure to deploy reliable next-generation equipment that can meet escalating demand for converged services. Cost-effective solutions that automate the tedious, time-consuming, and failure-prone job of manually configuring complex distributed equipment improve reliability, reduce provisioning time, and speed operators' time to revenue for converged services. To automate and enhance the network configuration and management process, Enea will integrate Tail-f's ConfD network management software with Enea's own industry-proven Element high availability (HA) middleware framework. This integrated solution, incorporating a simple, automated mechanism for installing, configuring, and managing network devices, will enable Enea to deliver best-in-class XML-based network management software to network equipment providers worldwide. Additionally, under the agreement, Enea will distribute and support ConfD through Enea's global field organization. "Network management is an integral part of building reliable, cost-effective networks capable of delivering high-quality converged data, voice, and video services," said Linda Thompson, vice president of corporate alliances at Enea. "Tail-f's ConfD software reduces network configuration costs and enables timely deployment of new services. We are excited to be working with Tail-f Systems to bring these critical capabilities to the industry." Enea's Element HA framework, together with the Tail-f's ConfD software, addresses complex network configuration management issues by providing: * A complete on-device management system, including Web, CLI (1) (Call Level Interface) A database programming interface from the SQL Access Group (SAG), an SQL membership organization. SAG's CLI is an attempt to standardize the SQL language for database access. , and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. interfaces. * Full support for NETCONF NETCONF Network Configuration Working Group (IETF) , the IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force standard for XML based configuration management. * Scalable implementations that support arbitrarily large In mathematics, the phrase arbitrarily large is used in statements such as:
* Unified management of multiple disparate product lines using a robust XML framework XML framework is a Software framework. Basically the framework implement several features to aid the programmer create your own application, but a XML framework differs from another framework because all data produced is XML. . "Enea is an established leader in the telecommunications industry, with an excellent record for delivering best-in-class products and services," said Hakan Millroth, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. at Tail-f Systems. "Tail-f and Enea share a joint commitment to providing high-availability, scalable, open platforms that deliver carrier-grade functionality. We look forward to working with Enea to deliver the next generation of network management functionality."
