Avantellis™ Middleware and OpenSAF™ Training
Avantellis™ Middleware is a commercial distribution of the OpenSAF™ high-availability middleware open project (www.opensaf.org). Avantellis™ is a portable, road-mapped, and fully supported commercial software product based on OpenSAF™. Emerson is the industry leader in producing true SAForum-compliant high availability middleware. The source code base used to initiate the OpenSAF™ project was provided exclusively by Emerson. Emerson’s customers deploy this code base today in 4G network equipment that is operating at a field measured 5-Nines.
Avantellis™ Middleware is 100% open source and licensed under LGPL v2.1 and is extensively tested on a reference configuration of Emerson hardware and a carrier grade Linux. Emerson runs over 14,000 test cases against each major Avantellis Software release.
Our Avantellis™ Middleware and OpenSAF™ training delivery options include:

 |
| Avantellis™ Middleware Training |
|
Avantellis™ Middleware training includes both lecture and hands-on components taught by Emerson Software Engineers. Consisting of customizable courseware that can be delivered via traditional classroom training or virtual classroom instruction using real-time web conferencing technology, training features a lab-intensive environment emphasizing a hands-on approach. Avantellis™ Middleware content presented in lectures is reinforced in lab workshops and monitored by instructors.
Avantellis™ Middleware training can be delivered as a private onsite event which will reduce travel costs and time away from the office. Emerson offers a two-day, on-site instructor-led training course with the following format (This training event can also be customized to meet specific training needs.):
