SandCherry and AdventNet Speed Delivery of Next-Generation
Services for Communications Service Providers
AdventNet's Agent Toolkit Enhances Development of SoftServer
Applications Broker
Boulder, CO., Dec. 12, 2001
SandCherry Networks and AdventNet today announced an OEM
/ distribution agreement, which includes the use of AdventNet's
Agent Toolkit Java/JMX Edition in the newest release of the
SoftServer 2.0 platform. Through the use of the Agent Toolkit,
SandCherry's SoftServer platform is able to seamlessly scale
applications across networked systems and quickly create smart,
lightweight SNMP standards-based network management solutions
for communications service providers (CSPs). Flexible management,
including the integration, deployment and enhancement of disparate
next-generation application services and media resources is
a key component to the SoftServer design and functionality.
"We view AdventNet's Agent Toolkit as a productivity
enhancing technology, enabling faster and more efficient development
of our SoftServer platform," said Christian Militeau,
SandCherry's vice president of engineering. "By working
together, SandCherry and AdventNet can deliver the right solution
to deploy and manage new value-added next-generation media-based
services".
"We are excited to partner with and provide SandCherry
the technology to build standards based network management
solutions for communication service providers and enterprises",
said Sekar Vembu, vice president of product strategy and management
at AdventNet. "We are also glad that SandCherry benefited
from enhanced developer productivity and reduction in time
to market by using the AdventNet Agent Toolkit".
About the SoftServer Platform
SandCherry's SoftServer platform, which serves as an applications
broker, integrates, manages and simplifies deployment of next-generation
services and applications such as voice-activated dialing,
voice portals, unified messaging, and voice-enabled conferencing.
CSPs are racing to implement these types of services as they
compete for new sources of revenue. By enabling faster, easier
rollout of services on a large scale, the SoftServer increases
the revenue potential from new services. The platform is designed
to be a key strategic tool, providing CSPs with quick access
to potential new revenue sources and detailed information
on customer usage and preferences. It speeds application integration
and deployment, while providing increased control over disparate
service elements, which can resolve costly management integration
issues.
