Platform creates high-availability
software
IP Infusion is to use Enea's Accelerator Platform to add high availability to its Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing and switching protocols.
Enea and IP Infusion have formed a strategic alliance through which IP Infusion will use Enea's Accelerator Platform to add high availability to its Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing and switching protocols Enea and IP Infusion, together with Kontron and Tail-f, have been demonstrating the new high-availability software at this week's Mountain View Alliance Communications and Ecosystems Conference in San Diego

Popular DSPs gain real-time support
OSE Systems has developed a support package for the Texas Instruments TMS320C64x digital signal processor architecture.
The demonstration, one of four "Diamond Demos" selected by show management, illustrates how IP Infusion protocols leveraging Enea's Accelerator technology can be used to enhance quality of experience for multimedia services.
Using a Kontron AdvancedTCA system equipped with Tail-f's Netconf network management software, the demo shows how a video stream connected via IP Infusion's Switching/Routing Protocol can automatically take advantage of HA features such as failover to backup without service interruption.
Although routing technology revolutionised the domain of circuit switched networks, routers are still falling short of the high availability requirements of today's converged networks, where user data forwarding is a key requirement.

Infonetics Research recently reported that router downtime in large enterprise networks costs businesses 2 to 16% of their revenue.
The Infonetics survey of 27 major service providers around the world (those with average revenue over $16 billion last year) found that the number-one capability required in their purchase of IP routers is high availability.
"Five nines availability has become the minimum requirement for the next generation of network routers", said Linda Thompson, Vice President of Corporate Alliances at Enea.
"The Enea Accelerator Platform, together with IP Infusion's ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite, provides a best-in-class platform for building, configuring, managing and provisioning next-generation, carrier-grade router equipment" "Consumers of converged multimedia services will not tolerate poor quality of service", added Yoshinari Yoshikawa, Vice President of Business Development at IP Infusion.
"Enea's Accelerator Platform provides the HA foundation we need to deliver five nines reliability with our network and transport layer software".
"We look forward to working with Enea to offer equipment makers a truly carrier-grade solution for IP-based networks".
IP Infusion's ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite provides scalable, modular, high-performance Layer 2 and Layer 3 carrier-class routing and switching.
The ZebOS suite supports IPv4, IPv6, Multicast, MPLS Traffic Engineering and VPN, as well as DiffServ protocol software.
