Q3ADE Gateway Developer

The Gateways provides you with a means to gain access to/from applications and equipment via CORBA, SNMP, TL1 or HTTP/HTML/XML or any combination of theses.

All the gateways are integral parts of the Q3ADE 3G platform. But Q3ADE Gateway Developer is required if you want to add new information models to the Q3ADE 3G platform and/or develop new Java components to the Graphical platform, the Q3Browser.

Q3ADE Gateway Developer combined with Q3ADE Advanced Developer allows you to develop new Q3ADE Applications/agents/gateways by combining Q3ADE's Gateway components with your own, e.g. to provide both northbound Corba and northbound Q3 in the same applications.

Benefits

• Reduced learning curve and maintenance overhead
  Get started in a day, produce solutions in less than a week. One integrated environment for managing multiple interface technologies reduces the total learning time and time to maintain your solutions environment considerably.
• Dramatic reductions in total tools cost-of-ownership
  Cost savings by several orders of magnitude compared to mixed solutions and comparable products. You get a wide range of interoperability tools for the cost of one - and at a very competitive price. Your tools are guaranteed to be compatible from version to version, which provides serious savings in the effort to upgrade to a new version.
• Offer multiple alternative management interfaces
  Avoid gambling when negotiating contract requirements.
  Your customers may require a management interface based on a specific technology/information model. Accepting the requirement is serious gambling, if you are unfamiliar with the required technology. With Q3ADE Gateway Developer, you may safely offer multiple alternatives up front to ensure the contract. In many cases, the solution is out-of-the-box, saving expensive development time.
