OSGi Add-on and Remote Management Solution for Cisco AXP

ProSyst Provides Remote Management Solutions for Cisco Application eXtension Platform

COLOGNE, Germany, April 10, 2008 - ProSyst Software GmbH (www.prosyst.com), an OSGi pioneer, announced today that its OSGi framework, "mBedded Server Professional Edition", and its remote management platform "mPower Remote Manager" has met the Cisco Technology Developer Program criteria for interoperability with the Cisco Application eXtension Platform (AXP) that was launched by Cisco today. The ProSyst products will be offered as add-on options for different industry vertical segments for Cisco AXP. ProSyst delivers an open standards-based platform that combines flexibility with ease of integration. ProSyst also announced it has joined the Cisco Technology Developer Program as a Cisco AXP partner.

The Cisco AXP offers tighter integration between the network and business applications, which drives greater business efficiencies and innovation while optimizing the branch footprint. Based on an open Linux architecture, the Cisco AXP is delivered via network modules and Advanced Integration Modules (AIM) for the Cisco ISR. Multiple applications can be supported on a single AXP platform concurrently using virtual containers, simplifying branch architecture and configuration.

"ProSyst brings OSGi expertise and proven solutions in remote management to the Cisco AXP third party hosting environment for Cisco Integrated Services Routers," said Dave Frampton, Vice President in Cisco's Access Routing Technology Group. "The ProSyst solution suite will complement a wide range of Cisco AXP industry vertical solutions." ProSyst mBedded Server (mBS) is a high performance, low footprint OSGi R4 framework implementation. The core framework provides a runtime foundation to run and manage the lifecycle of various applications in a secured and modularized environment. OSGi specifies a Java execution environment for software components, and the mBS implementation reduces the complexity of large applications by building them from a number of collaborating components. mBS provides a dynamic model where components can be added and removed without requiring restarts. In addition, mBS defines many standard component interfaces for common functions such as HTTP servers, configuration, logging, security, user administration, XML and many more. Based on open standards from Java, OSGi and OMA specifications, ProSysts mPower Remote Manager (mPRM) is a highly scalable remote management system geared to manage both OSGi frameworks and non-OSGi devices. mPRM enables dynamic deployment of services and applications to the Cisco AXP as well as ongoing monitoring and management. These applications and components can be remotely installed, started and stopped, and updated dynamically from a central location. In addition, ProSyst offers an optimisation tool for embedded Java, the ProSyst JProfiler, that also comes as an Eclipse plug-in. ProSyst Java-related services range from inhouse development, support, training to high end technical consulting.
