Embedded Solutions

Networks contain a wide variety of network elements such as routers, switches, gateways, controllers, and wireless base stations. All share the need for state-of-the- art on-device network management. Key requirements for embedded network management systems include:

ConfD Overview ConfD NETCONF ConfD SNMP Agent ConfD CLI ConfD Web UI ConfD Core Engine ConfD Core Engine
  • Support for critical northbound interfaces (CLI, Web UI, SNMP, and NETCONF)
  • Full implementation of NETCONF including, transactions, validations, rollbacks, and notifications
  • Distributed multi-team development without project interdependencies
  • Rapid prototyping and development
  • Guaranteed data consistency across all interfaces
  • Support for third party high-availability frameworks
  • Scalable replication of configuration and operational data
  • Optimized memory footprint
  • Ability to dynamically join clusters of network elements

See whitepaper on “Building Carrier-grade On-Device Network Management Systems by EMA for a detailed discussion of industry requirements.
