6WINDGATE Software - embedded networking software

The term, IP-Agnostic, means Internet Protocol version agnostic and refers to the ability of 6WIND's software technology to support seamless networking on any IP infrastructure without favoring IPv4 or IPv6 as it was developed ground-up to support both protocols.

The Open Network Engine Advantage

Internet Protocol or IP software design and development is increasingly complex. Strong market trends for competitive revenue-generating Internet services are driving converging multi-services IP gateways and communication systems. Networking OEMs are required to offer products that will enable better security, triple play services, VoIP and uninterrupted mobile broadband services over any infrastructure and application domain.

System integrators are looking to integrate IP functionalities within non-IP systems for defense, transport and industrial applications. Seamless interoperability, service and performance scalability as well as cost optimization are important preoccupations.

Rightly so, emerging wireless standards, dual IP (IPv4 and IPv6), service convergence, processor innovation and open source technologies as well as the race to market are compounding engineering cost and resource pressures. Software development represents between 50 to 80 percent of current product R&D budgets. More than half of it is spent on pain-staking and time-consuming IP kernel integration and testing instead of advanced services innovation.

To address these issues, 6WIND conceived the Open Network Engine (O.N.E.) Advantage to enable networking OEMs and system integrators to focus on competitive solution differentiation by largely reducing IP software development and integration complexities.

The Open Network Engine Software Advantage that every 6WINDGate™ software suites delivers is founded on 3 principles:

Open software architecture incorporating an optimized communication software distributed over reference Linux, a smart in-built XML-based management framework and a modular integration mechanism

Network service evolution and performance scalability enabled by a comprehensive set of advanced networking features for any IP infrastructure

Engine as the accelerator of IP system development and integration with a ready-to-run software, empowering service convergence and innovative e-applications
