[May 06, 2009] Ontology Systems to provide OSS/CAD application to QinetiQ Tweet May 06, 2009 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- Ontology Systems, a developer of OSS/CAD service management software, announced on 6 May that QinetiQ, a defence and security technology company, has selected OSS/CAD to provide key service assurance functionality for the UK Ministry of Defence's Enabling Secure Information Infrastructure (ESII) programme, for which QinetiQ is the lead services provider. The company said that OSS/CAD will be integrated into the overall ESII programme being delivered to the MoD to create a service assurance environment in which key user services can be managed across a federated heterogeneous policy-driven network of networks. This will provide a service management capability to monitor and manage the user experience and actively validate the application of new network policies across wideband mobile communications and infrastructure. The ESII programme seeks to provide the UK MoD with a flexible method of obtaining cost-effective and timely research into the key issues relating to delivery of the Global Information Infrastructure. The overall multi-million pound programme delivers research, analysis and experimentation on behalf of the MoD to mature solution concepts that technically derisk the construction of a managed system for a group of complex networks that is both resilient and capable of resisting network attack. No financial details were disclosed. Comments on this story may be sent to [email protected] [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ]
