Enea Launches Global Communications Center Offering Middleware Workshops

On-Site Workshops Offer Middleware Evaluation,
         Tradeoffs, Platform Optimization and Implementation
                 for Telecom Equipment Manufacturers


Stockholm, Sweden and 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 a ground
breaking new opportunity for companies tackling the complexity of
developing communications infrastructure equipment. The Enea
Communications Center (ECC) will offer no-charge, on-site, half-day
workshops for telecom equipment providers (TEMs) who are evaluating
service availability middleware options (commercial and open source),
perhaps the most important design decision made on a new project.

The communications infrastructure equipment market is undergoing a
major transition from in-house, proprietary hardware and software to
commercial off the shelf (COTS) platforms. On the hardware front, the
proliferation of IBM BladeCenter® and AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA blade
systems has made the use of COTS products a reality. On the software
side, the service availability and system management middleware layer
is undergoing a similar transition, as TEMs look to reduce cost and
accelerate deployment by utilizing COTS middleware solutions.  Enea
is a pioneer in the marketplace with its Enea Element high
availability middleware, and has now joined the OpenSAF Foundation
which provides support for the OpenSAF project, the leading open
source HA middleware implementation, to complement its offering."Service availability middleware has emerged as the next major
category of software to undergo the COTS revolution," said Per
Akerberg, COO, Enea. "But introducing new platform technology can be
a risky proposition. Consistent with our vision of solving customer
development problems, these on-site workshops will help TEMs who are
evaluating service availability middleware, sort through the options,
understand design tradeoffs, and make optimal platform component
choices.""Our consultants have been vice presidents, directors and managers of
engineering at some of the most innovative and successful
communications companies in the industry," said Per Akerberg. "They
understand the decisions facing our customers because they have been
there. This workshop gives us an opportunity to pass on some of that
knowledge, experience and expertise."
