Data Connection Strengthens High Availability Offerings for IP Routing and MPLS Platforms
New feature available with all DCL IP Routing and MPLS solutions provides availability and fault tolerance advancements in the management of configuration information
London, UK: March 3, 2008. Data Connection Limited (DCL), the world's leading independent provider of communications protocol software, has introduced a software package for developers of switching and routing equipment that allows them to enhance the availability of the systems they develop while reducing software development time and costs. Data Connection's Configuration Safe Store (DC-CSS) provides software engineers with source code and a toolkit that enable flexible and reliable management of system configuration information.
DC-CSS is tightly coupled with Data Connection's IP routing and MPLS portable protocol solutions. It allows users to store multiple revisions of system configuration information to file, from where they can be manually or automatically retrieved. The user may select the automatic retrieval of a known configuration in the event of restarts, failures, or upgrades. In-service software upgrades and downgrades are handled seamlessly. Switchovers to a saved configuration file are handled gracefully, and only the affected system resources are restarted as necessary. DC-CSS also includes error handling and offline functions such as file type and version conversion.
Developers that utilize DC-CSS avoid the engineering costs associated with developing similar functions, which are often mandatory for highly available, carrier grade platforms. Moreover, users of products incorporating DC CSS benefit from increased system availability and product flexibility.
Data Connection's DC-CSS product is available immediately. Please contact protocols@dataconnection.com or see www.dataconnection.com/solutio... for more information.
