OpenClovis Helps Standards-Based Mercury Ensemble Offering Achieve
Carrier-Grade Manageability and High Availability for Next-Generation
Communications
CHICAGO, GLOBALCOMM 2006, June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenClovis Inc.
(previously Clovis Solutions, Inc.) today announced that Mercury Computer
Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: MRCY) has signed an agreement to license and resell
its OpenClovis Application Service Platform (ASP). Mercury intends to
provide carrier-grade management and high availability services on the
Mercury Ensemble family of Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture
(AdvancedTCA(R))- based systems, as well as to develop unique applications
using the OpenClovis ASP. Integration and deployment of the OpenClovis ASP
is initially planned for the Ensemble2(TM) offerings.
"The communications industry is experiencing a dramatic transformation
from products based on costly proprietary systems to solutions integrated
from commercial off-the-shelf components," said V.K. Budhraja, CEO and
president of OpenClovis. "With Mercury and OpenClovis working together to
provide a highly available AdvancedTCA-based solution, the industry will be
well-equipped to deliver products and services in record time with
significantly less risk and cost."
The Ensemble2 application platform from Mercury Computer Systems is a
standards-based system for developing and deploying applications. The
Ensemble2 is a modular platform for the control and data plane, built
around the performance, scalability and reliability of AdvancedTCA for the
telecommunications, satellite communications, and defense markets.
"We're pleased to partner with OpenClovis and offer a custom Mercury
solution that meets the demands of next-generation platforms," said Mark
Skalabrin, vice president and general manager of the Advanced Solutions
business at Mercury. "The combination of OpenClovis ASP and Ensemble
enables us to support service providers' network infrastructure
requirements for standards-based, highly available and reliable systems."
The OpenClovis ASP (also announced today at http://www.openclovis.com)
consists of an extensive set of management modules running on a
distributed- information, model-driven core infrastructure. Modules may be
selected to best match the application and platform requirements. The
OpenClovis ASP can be distributed across blades, shelves, and even racks,
creating a seamless high availability platform and system management
environment across heterogeneous network element building blocks.
The OpenClovis integrated development environment (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
Service Availability Forum-aligned, highly available system and all the
attendant hardware and software resources along with the information model.
OpenClovis ASP, integrated with the Mercury Ensemble2 platform, gives
the communications industry the flexibility and carrier-grade functionality
it demands to deliver new value add services and products in a fraction of
the time it took on traditional platforms.
