Enea Announces Enhanced Alarm and Notification Services for Enea Element Middleware

New Services Key to Delivering 100% Service Availability

Stockholm, Sweden, Santa Clara, Calif., ATCA Summit- October 21, 2008
- Enea® (Nordic Exchange/Small Cap/ENEA), a world leading provider of
network software and services, today announced significant new
enhancements to its world class Enea Element middleware. New to
Element 3.1 are alarm management and event notification services that
bring Element closer to delivering 100% service availability. Element
3.1 also adds supports for Cavium Networks OCTEON Multicore MIPS 64
processors, that are being used in control and intelligent data-plane
applications.

Element gives developers of next-generation network equipment the
flexible, intuitive notification and alarm management facilities they
need to record and route all hardware alarms (i.e., HPI alarms from
ATCA blades) and thresholds for key system parameters, resource
levels, and application events. Element can route this information
upstream through a wide variety of standard northbound interfaces to
other management entities throughout the network, including the
operator's network centers."Enea Element is emerging as the standards-based COTS middleware
solution of choice for communications equipment manufacturers who
need to quickly deploy highly available, manageable systems into the
network," said Terry Pearson, vice president of marketing for Enea."We continue to deliver on our aggressive roadmap with an emphasis on
keeping pace with key standards, delivering 100% service availability
and supporting the latest high-performance hardware configurations."

Element's robust notification services make it easy for application
developers to publish any type of "notification" to interested
subscribers. These notifications can include threshold alarms for all
Element-managed objects, resource shortages (CPU, memory, disk),
asset inventory events from the HPI, node-level failures,
informational log entries, and virtually any user-generated
notification traps or alarms. These notifications can be routed to
standard northbound management interfaces such as SNMP, CLI, and web
for further consumption by Element management systems, the
application, or other general embedded management clients.

Element's alarm management service, a direct client of the
notification service, processes alarm events. The alarm manager
supports severity levels, timestamps, redundant alarm filtering, and
alarm correlation, where possible causes can be noted for reported
alarms. The alarm manager can drive standard telco alarm panels with
critical, major, minor, and other standard alarm notifications
throughout the deployed network."Element's enhanced services give developers a framework for alarm
management that will deliver better alarm reporting and severity
level interpretation in the overall platform," said Sven Freudenfeld,
director of telecom business development for Kontron. "Alarm and
event reporting, together with the right level of interpretation, are
key requirements for our communications infrastructure customers who
require a true "carrier grade" platform solution."

Element 3.1 now supports the Cavium OCTEON Plus CN58XX family of
Multi-core MIPS64 processors, which target intelligent, multi-gigabit
networking, control plane, storage, and wireless applications in
next-generation equipment. The family includes twelve
software-compatible processors, which feature four to sixteen
cnMIPS64 cores on a single chip running at speeds of up to 1GHz.
OCTEON processors also integrate next-generation networking I/O along
with the most advanced security and application hardware
acceleration."Our Cavium OCTEON Plus family of processors are seeing strong
adoption in a wide variety of control, intelligent data plane,DPI,
load-balancing, and content aware applications.", said Amer Haider,
director of strategic marketing for Cavium Networks. "We are pleased
to work with Enea to offer our common customers with a comprehensive
systems management middleware solution. System vendors using OCTEON
in control and data-plane applications can now use Enea Element 3.1
to quickly model, control and monitor assets down to the device
level."
