vnunet.com, 20 Jun 2007

Red Hat is to adopt Mobicents technology as part of its bid to expand in the telecoms market.

The move will add a Service Logic Execution Environment (Slee) to the Linux firm's portfolio.

Slee complements J2EE to enable the convergence of voice, video and data in next-generation intelligent applications in the telecoms industry with call set-up transactions as many as 10 times the number of web data transactions per second.

Mobicents is a scalable event-driven application server with a component model and fault-tolerant execution environment. It is the first open source platform certified for JSLEE 1.0 compliance.

Red Hat said that it intends to develop a communications platform that integrates Mobicents with the broader Red Hat middleware offerings.

"JSLEE is an important emerging industry standard for event-driven architecture that is gaining its early traction in the telecoms industry," said Yefim Natis, a vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.

"An open source offering in this space extends the available options for users looking into event-driven computing and architecture."
