ENEA Joins SCOPE Alliance to Contribute to Defining High Availability
Company Combines Efforts with Leading Network Equipment Providers and
Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Vendors to Strengthen COTS Ecosystem
Stockholm, Sweden, and San Jose, Calif., Sept. 11, 2007 Â Enea (Nordic
Exchange/Small Cap/ENEA), a world leading provider of network software and
services, today announced that it joined the SCOPE Alliance. The SCOPE
Alliance, formed in January 2006 by Alcatel, Ericsson, Motorola, NEC, Nokia
and Siemens, is an association of Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) working
to accelerate the deployment of Carrier Grade Base Platforms (CGBP) for
service provider applications. Its mission is to enable and promote the
availability of open CGBP based on Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware
and software building blocks and to promote interoperability to better serve
service providers and consumers.
ENEA is working with the SCOPE Alliance team of leading NEPs and an
exceptional group of COTS hardware and software providers to produce
profiles for CGBPs intended to accelerate integration and deployment of
next-generation networks. In addition, the SCOPE Alliance is producing gap
analyses that address emerging interface specifications such as the Service
Availability Forum¹s Applications Interface Specifications (AIS) that are a
critical in realizing a tightly-integrated set of CGBP building blocks.
"The output of the SCOPE Alliance will play a critical role in giving NEPs
the confidence that their vision of leveraging COTS building blocks can be
fully realized,² said Jim Lawrence, chief software standards officer at
ENEA. "ENEA is looking forward to contributing to the work of the SCOPE
Alliance."
Enea is committed to delivering commercial, carrier-grade software platforms
that help equipment providers deliver new services, quickly respond to
evolving market demands and simultaneously reduce both capital and operating
costs. It is currently applying the SCOPE profiles to the Enea Accelerator
Platform which includes Enea¹s Element high-availability middleware.
"The SCOPE Alliance is pleased to welcome Enea," stated Magnus Karlson,
chairman of the SCOPE Alliance. "The resources, experience, area expertise
and perspective of Enea combined with our existing membership makes for a
powerful combination that can generate timely results."
More information about the SCOPE Alliance and current versions of the
profiles are available at www.scope-alliance.org.
