embeddedMIND™

Application Areas | Cost Reduction | Risk Reduction

embeddedMIND™ provides multi-protocol management infrastructure for networked devices. The innovative architecture dramatically reduces management layer development time. This is achieved through a combination of leveraged intellectual property, pre-integrated components and design automation.

Legacy solutions have typically evolved from in-house single protocol solutions retro-fitted to support the multiple protocol needs of modern device management.

embeddedMIND™ is a multi-protocol solution designed to be easily customisable to your needs. embeddedMIND™ provides a radical improvement over traditional architectures for management software and delivers major benefits in terms of development cost, time to market and future extensibility. Ongoing product development provides a roadmap to future management protocols.

Application Areas

embeddedMIND™ is targetted at networked devices with particular emphasis on network infrastructure devices in the telecom and datacom space. Product scalability means embeddedMIND™ uses range from residential gateways to multi-service switches, from DSLAMs and enterprise routers to core optical switches and wireless infrastructure elements.

embeddedMIND™ also provides an efficient solution for device families which are joining the networked world. This includes consumer devices such as multi-media set top boxes, home medical equipment and home automation systems.

embeddedMIND™ allows application providers and hardware component manufacturers to add value by providing out-of-the-box management interfaces to their products. This allows customers to more easily evaluate applications by moving quickly to actual use without integration efforts lengthening the sales cycle.

Cost Reduction
embeddedMIND™ reduces the cost of management layer software development by:

  • Reusing integration effort across protocols to avoid the effort duplication of traditional architectures.
  • Automating many tasks which in traditional solutions require manual coding effort.
  • Pre-integrating with some 3rd party components to provide an out-of-the-box solution.
  • Simplifying maintenance by using a clear well-structured architecture which ensures fewer bugs and easier functional enhancements.

Risk Reduction
Use of embeddedMIND™ reduces the risk in management software development by:

  • Allowing rapid generation of a prototype management layer before the underlying device has been fully defined.
  • Supporting integrated management layer and device testing.
  • Supporting an iterative development approach with preservation of existing effort.
  • Providing an architecture which allows later addition of new management protocols thus future-proofing the development effort.
