Commercial Off-the-Shelf, Standards-Based Solution for Manageability and
High Availability Will Demo at GLOBALCOMM 2006
CHICAGO, GLOBALCOMM 2006, June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenClovis Inc.
(previously Clovis Solutions, Inc.) today announced the OpenClovis
Application Service Platform (ASP) and OpenClovis Integrated Development
Environment (IDE), the telecommunications industry's first open source,
carrier grade application service platform and development environment.
OpenClovis is demonstrating its new solutions this week in booth #38075, at
GLOBALCOMM 2006, June 5th to 7th, McCormick Place, Chicago, and the
products will be generally available later this month.
Separately, OpenClovis also today announced the first deployment of
OpenClovis ASP on the Ensemble2 application platform from Mercury Computer
Systems, Inc. (see release at http://www.openclovis.com).
"This new product is a significant upgrade from our previous platform,
and our customers, the network and telecommunications equipment providers,
will also enjoy the many business benefits of our open source software
including faster time to market, lower costs, high reliability and greater
choice," said Subbu Iyer, VP, Marketing and Business Development,
OpenClovis, Inc. "Backed by a commercial company, with the support of AT&T,
Intel and other global telecommunications leaders, our new open
source-based solutions let developers evaluate code and do pilots, speeding
development time and reducing engineering risk."
The new OpenClovis ASP provides a complete off-the-shelf, standards
aligned, manageability and high availability solution. It is operating
system- and platform-agnostic and is pre-integrated with various
distributions of Linux and hardware platforms such as Advanced
Telecommunications Architecture (AdvancedTCA), BladeCenter E/T and other
off-the-shelf hardware. OpenClovis ASP implements the Service Availability
(SA) Forum's Applications Interface Specification and utilizes its Hardware
Platform Interface.
The OpenClovis ASP is suitable for a wide range of carrier grade
network elements and its usage ranges from broadband access devices for
technologies such as DSL, PON, 3G/WiMAX, to metro Ethernet and edge
switches/routers, IPTV application servers and IP multimedia subsystem
(IMS) core elements.
The OpenClovis IDE simplifies and accelerates the development of
value-add services and applications that meet the availability demands of
next- generation networks. It provides a graphical UML (Unified Modeling
Language) editor to easily specify a SA Forum-aligned highly available
system, and all the attendant hardware and software resources along with
the information model. The IDE generates clean structured code that runs on
the OpenClovis ASP. All information related to system modeling is stored in
well-defined XML files that can be edited by the user. OpenClovis IDE works
within the industry standard Eclipse framework.
OpenClovis recently announced the OpenClovis Software Project
(http://www.openclovis.org), where it has made available more than 500,000 lines
of code developed over three years by software experts with experience from
Alcatel, AT&T, Bellcore, CIENA, Cisco Systems, Lucent and Nortel. By
publishing its robust, carrier-grade code in open source, OpenClovis
provides the industry with an extensive set of high-quality, modular and
reusable software components and tools that are standards-based and
designed to be hardware- and operating system-agnostic.
OpenClovis products will be offered and supported under the dual GNU
Public License (GPL) open source and commercial license model that has
already proved successful for other open source software companies. Major
corporations such as AT&T, HP, IBM, Intel and Wind River have already
pledged support for the OpenClovis open source approach.
