Overall objective:
With OpenSAF we want to define the de-facto standard in HA middleware which we expect to be widely adopted by our Telco customers.
ECC USP:
With Avantellis we will offer a fully integrated and validated „Application Ready“ platform to our customers ensuring the portability, flexibility and vendor independence only OpenSource environments can ensure.
Competitors:
GoAhead is a proprietary HA middleware application which use in commercial high volume deployments is absolutely no longer in the sense of our Tier1 customers. SUN Netra High Availability (HA) Suite Software also fall under this category.
OpenClovis is based on a dual licensing model whereby for commercial use the license is not OpenSource but a royalty bearing proprietary version.

6. Platform Abstraction Interface
Current scope of Platform Abstraction is fault Management
FM Agent Queries/informs Fault Manager
To determine the readiness of the system for switchover.
Informs fault manager that through HPI means it reset the peer controller.
AVD/AVND Heartbeat loss of the peer controller is passed to FM.
Fault Manager indicates to Agent
Asynchronous indication to FMA requests.

7. Known Limitations Platform Interactions
OpenSAF HISv is initially contributed based on ATCA based system.
It handled Managed hot-swap model
Entity path management intelligence is built in to the code rather than providing configurable option for different platforms.

AVM
Hardware World through HPI
Hot swap, sensor events
Interface - 1
Node shutdown, lock, unlock, soft/hard resets, switchover
HPL library calls
HPI API calls to reset, shutdown frus.
BAM
MASv
Admin ops through Cli
System Configuration through Validation.xml, deployment config xml

Hot swap events,
sesensor events
Hpi API calls to reset, shutdown the fru
Readiness state change callbacks
Callback registration,
Fault detection reports
