Rapid Development

Time-to-market is a critical competitive differentiator in the networking and telecommunications industry. SAFplus is designed to collapse the timeline from initial development to production-ready deployment. Its clean APIs, comprehensive tooling, and experienced professional services team enable engineering organisations to move from onboarding to working systems in days — not months.

The following customer experiences illustrate what rapid productization looks like in practice with SAFplus..

Verizon — Custom Applications on SAFplus-Powered ATCA Cluster

Rapid Development: Within just two weeks Verizon had custom applications up and running on the SAFplus powered ATCA hardware cluster.

Verizon required a rapid proof-of-concept to demonstrate the viability of running custom applications on a SAFplus-powered ATCA hardware cluster. Within just two weeks of engagement, Verizon had its custom applications fully operational on the platform.

Leveraging the OpenClovis Runtime Director, Verizon was further able to present these applications through a branded, custom web interface — enabling compelling executive-level demonstrations of the platform’s capabilities with their own look and feel. The speed of this initial deployment illustrated both the accessibility of the SAFplus platform and the power of the Runtime Director as a rapid integration tool.

 

MRV Communications — From Training to GA in 18 Months

Rapid Development: After an intensive one week combined training and consulting engagement with OpenClovis engineers, MRV had a working system ready to test application developers' code and product GA 18 months later.

MRV engaged OpenClovis for a focused, one-week combined training and consulting engagement at their development facility. By the end of that single week, MRV’s development team had a fully operational SAFplus system ready to begin testing application code — a direct result of the platform’s well-structured APIs and the depth of knowledge transferred during the engagement.

MRV’s SAFplus implementation included a CLI fully integrated into each application component — a level of sophistication that reflects the platform’s flexibility for production-grade deployments. Just 18 months after that initial training engagement, MRV’s product reached General Availability — with the overwhelming majority of that development timeline dedicated to building MRV’s own differentiated application capabilities, not platform infrastructure.


OpenClovis’s professional services model is designed to accelerate your team’s productivity from day one. A single week of focused engagement can put your engineers in a position to begin building production-quality applications on SAFplus — and customers consistently report that the vast majority of their subsequent development effort is spent on their own differentiated product, not the platform.
