Military and Aerospace-meeting mission-critical demands
Military and Aerospace applications require a communications platform of exceptionally high reliability, modularity and portability. Tactical communication systems are typically provided by expensive custom programming methodologies. This contributes to high software costs and may lengthen development timelines by years. As defense agencies move toward cost-effective COTS- and standards-based open platforms, OpenClovis is developing the robust application delivery resources to meet their next-generation needs. 

Supporting defense with reduced complexity, simple integration
OpenClovis endeavors to achieve greater transparency, reducing complexity and simplifying integration across multivendor communications infrastructures. Defense systems in particular require an integrated approach to platform and data management,  high availability, platform modeling, control plane communications, and more-all deployed in a greatly reduced time frame. 

Superior reliability from a robust, standards-based platform
The OpenClovis Application service platform evolves the legacy, multi-vendor infrastructures of defense systems into a tightly integrated solution that protects critical data and applications against faults and failure. OpenClovis software provides superior node and process fault detection, check-pointing of applications, automatic restart of failed processes, and automatic failover of failed noded and automatic migration to their original location after repair. The OpenClovis platform enables these and more capabilities through its diversified solution set that supports:

A highly interoperable, standards-based platform

• Standard bladed solutions increase service density.
• Lower number of platform elements reduces complexity.
• ATCA for data/forwarding plane applications.
• BladeCenter T for Server applications.

• Platform choice spurs competition, reduces cost.
• SA Forum Hardware Platform Interface (HPI) abstracts platforms.
• OS Abstraction layer based on POSIX.
• Application/Service Abstraction (SA Forum Application Interface Specifications).

• Intel and PowerPC-based platforms.

• CentOS
• MontaVista
• Red Hat
• Wind River

• Platform modeling
• Validation
• Validation

• Platform independent of type and vendor.
• Plug-and-play blades and software.
• Smooth management (or self-management) of blades.
• Compatible, standards-based chassis.
