FlexTCA Platform Software
- Pre-integrated platform configuration & management software
- Designed to provide 99.999% availability to customer applications
A distinct advantage of FlexTCA 40G and FlexTCA 10G platforms is the software suite – FlexTCA Platform Software – which is designed to provide 99.999% availability to customer applications.

FlexTCA Platform Software is a package of high availability software composed of four main ingredients that deliver carrier-grade, Service Availability Forum (SAF)-compliant reliability:
- Trillium Middleware Toolkit
- GoAhead SAFfire
- Essential Services
- Layer 2 High Availability (L2HA)
With these key software components pre-integrated into the platform, FlexTCA 40G and 10G customers are able to focus their engineering teams’ efforts on applications development – the real differentiator and value-add of a carrier-class product.
Trillium Middleware Toolkit
The Trillium Middleware Toolkit includes a suite of tools that expedite the integration of control and data plane protocols into the SAF-compliant middleware. This makes the entire suite of Trillium protocol stacks available to customers for use in their applications.
GoAhead SAFfire
At the core of the system, GoAhead SAFfire high availability and management middleware helps developers of highly reliable systems build carrier-grade applications by supplying the most comprehensive, proven and integrated availability management software. The SAF-compliant middleware provides the framework to detect faults and manage failover to ensure continuity of service.
Essential Services
Essential Services platform configuration and management software simplifies the management of the hardware platform and includes a series of web-based configuration and commissioning tools for initial system provisioning and run-time management. It also provides a standard Hardware Platform Interface (HPI) for integration with the middleware.
Layer 2 High Availability
L2HA switching software delivers the underlying mechanisms to ensure that continual service can be provided in the event of a link or switch failure. It monitors and manages drivers and switching for the base and fabric interfaces, as well as provides for a low-latency failover when a fault is detected.
