SCOPE Alliance recently announced its Middleware Portability initiative to address the middleware layer in carrier-grade base platforms (CGBP). The project was created to analyze portability and interoperability issues of CGBP that arise with base platform implementations comprised of building blocks from several vendors. As CGBP middleware must be able to interoperate across multiple dimensions, the project identifies scenarios that could impact building block interoperability and application portability. The results are outlined in a new whitepaper, Middleware Portability Use Cases, which can be downloaded here.
SCOPE is an industry alliance committed to accelerating the deployment of carrier grade base platforms for service provider applications.
Its mission is to help, enable and promote the availability of open carrier grade base platforms based on Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware / software and Free Open Source Software (FOSS) building blocks, and to promote interoperability to better serve Service Providers and consumers.
