Fully-Integrated HA Software & Services
Unified Management Interface for Operational Efficiency
Trillium System Software for FlexTCA NGN Telecom Systems

A distinct advantage of Continuous Computing's FlexTCA system offering is its pre-integrated high availability (HA) software suite - Trillium System Software - that is designed to enable 99.999% availability of customer applications on Continuous Computing platforms. Trillium System Software is a package of high availability software composed of four main components that work together with the hardware system to deliver carrier-grade, Service Availability Forum (SAF)-compliant reliability, including:

Trillium fault-tolerant protocol software
Trillium SAF-compliant HA middleware
Trillium platform management services
Trillium HA switching software

With these key software components already pre-integrated and pre-tested, customers starting with Continuous Computing systems are able to focus their engineering teams' efforts on product-differentiating applications, reduce their project risk, and speed the introduction of their products to market.

Trillium fault-tolerant protocol software includes control and data plane protocols which are essential for providing reliable communication both within the Continuous Computing FlexTCA system and externally to other network devices.

At the core of the system, Trillium SAF-compliant HA middleware helps developers of highly reliable systems build carrier-grade applications by supplying the most comprehensive, proven, and integrated availability management software. The HA middleware provides the framework to detect faults and manage failover to ensure continuity of service.

Trillium platform management services simplify the management of the hardware platform and provides a mechanism for low-level management prior to the initialization of Trillium HA middleware or application. Trillium HA switching software delivers the underlying mechanisms to ensure that continual service can be provided in the event of a link or switch failure. It specifically 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.
