— Hakan Millroth, President and CEO, Tail-f Systems
As telecommunications service providers move applications from proprietary hardware and appliances to open systems like the IBM BladeCenter, new network management requirements arise.
Tail-f Systems provides a family of products to help build network management systems for enterprise and carrier-grade networks.
XML-based Network Management
ConfD is an XML-based software solution for on-device network management consisting of the following key components:
- Shared backplane, called the ConfD Core Engine
- Northbound management interfaces (NETCONF, Web UI, CLI, and SNMP)
- Embedded configuration database
