Artifex Solutions, Ltd.

Artifex provides the most comprehensive set of TMN solutions for the development of agent and manager applications. These solutions greatly reduce the complexity of programming across a variety of protocols while conforming to OSI network management standards including GDMO, ASN.1 and CMIP.

The TMN Manager Suite contains a full-featured interactive development environment (IDE) that dramatically reduces the time and complexity of building applications at the Element Management and Network Management Layers. Unlike many other products that do not scale, applications built using the TMN Manager Suite can run on multi-processor servers as well as multiple servers. Additionally, the dynamic loading of the information model and metadata eliminates the need to stop and restart critical system processes, virtually eliminating downtime.

TMN Agent Suite

Using the advanced abstraction capabilities coupled with rapid prototyping found in the TMN Agent Suite, developers can shorten a six-month work schedule to a matter of days! Compared to other such solutions in the market, the TMN Agent Tools Suite can generate up to 80% of the software code necessary to build a robust product.

The Agent Toolkit implements a generic CMIP/GDMO agent and supports all Managed Object (MO) classes based on ISO/IEC 10165-4 and CCITT X.722 standards. The Agent Toolkit may also be acquired as a source code product, which includes the source code of a generic CMIP agent, generic Managed Object functions, generic MO Attributes functions, a sample Agent, and a sample Manager. A binary version of the Agent Toolkit is also available.

Other components of the Agent Suite include the Distributed Systems Generator (DSG), ASN.C/C++ Toolkit, GDMO Compiler, CMIP/ROSE, APLI interface (to use with a third-party vendor's OSI protocol stack) and interface modules as necessary.
