The agreement establishes Quantum Telecom Solutions, Inc. as a member of the Excel Partner Program which establishes both a technical and marketing infrastructure allowing Excel and their Partners to focus on strategic product offerings and marketing programs. "Excel is in the business of building the most flexible, open architecture switches in the industry. Quantum offers software development tools that will allow Excel developers to take advantage of this programmability as well as speed their development process," said Bob Madonna, president of Excel. "We feel that Quantum's SwitchKit(TM) compliments the highly programmable switching environment of Excel's products by handling the basic administrative tasks that are common to Excel switch applications. The SwitchKit(TM) will enable Excel developers to introduce robust applications to the market very quickly, while still allowing them access to the full power and flexibility of Excel switches. We are confident that the Partnership will be beneficial to both companies in encouraging development on Excel platforms." "Excel programmable switches provide an unsurpassed combination of programmability, scalability and reliability," states David Miller David Miller could refer to any of the following:
(architecture) fault tolerance - 1. The ability of a system or component to continue normal operation despite the presence of hardware or software faults. This often involves some degree of redundancy. 2. of Excel switches, while still enabling them to get their applications to market quickly. Additionally, we felt that service providers would take better advantage of the Excel platforms' capabilities once they had the option to quickly and easily modify and add applications to their platforms." Excel's product line addresses the switching needs of the telecommunications industry as well as private industry with a family of advanced programmable switches: the 512-port PCX (1) A bitmapped graphics file format that handles monochrome, 2-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit and 24-bit color and uses RLE to achieve compression ratios of approximately 1.1:1 to 1.5:1. Images with large blocks of solid colors compress best under the RLE method.

The EXS EXS Expandable Switching System (Lucent) EXS Executed Schedule product line offers a distributed switching Distributed switching is an architecture in which multiple processor-controlled switching units are distributed. There is often a hierarchy of switching elements, with a centralized host switch and with remote switches located close to concentrations of users. architecture enabling multiple PCX, CSN, or LNX switches, and other telecom and voice resources, to be distributed over a fiber-optic network, supporting up to 64,000 non-blocking ports. Quantum Telecom Solutions offers the SwitchKit(TM), a software toolkit that allows Excel application developers to reduce development time by handling the administration and configuration tasks of the switch. SwitchKit(TM) provides developers with straightforward C or C++ based application programming interfaces (APIs), automatic configuration and redundancy control, and descriptive logs and error messages DOS and Windows error messages are listed individually in this database by the message that is displayed when they occur. See also DOS error messages and Application Error.  . SwitchKit(TM) supports application development under both UNIX UNIXOperating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. .
