Technology agents Sample Clauses

Technology agents. The communication between the SDN control plane and the optical devices in the data centre fabric is enabled by the technology agents, which act as bridging entities deployed on top of each data plane device to hide their specific technology and management/control interface details. In brief, a technology agent operates on top of each optical data plane device (with a 1:1 relationship) and takes the responsibility to translate the control messages coming from the SDN controller into the actual configuration commands for the given device. Moreover, it maintains a node-wide uniform resource description model for each device and provides capabilities and availabilities up to the controller through the proper control messages. In COSIGN, the control protocol used at the SDN southbound interface will be OpenFlow. OpenFlow is considered the first SDN standard and defines the open communications protocol that enables a controller to interact with the forwarding layers in the SDN architecture. OpenFlow allows direct access to and manipulation of the forwarding plane of network devices such as switches and routers, either physical or virtual (hypervisor-based, like Open vSwitch). Therefore, to have SDN and OpenFlow enabled data plane optical devices, an OpenFlow agent for each device is required. In COSIGN, these OpenFlow agents will provide the following control functions: • Technology Specific Mapping and Translation: this part enables the communication between the OpenFlow agent and data plane devices. Different protocols and technologies (NE’s management interface like SNMP, TL1, Vendor API, etc.) may be used to implement this interface, according to the given interface exposed by each optical device • Uniform Resource Model: this resource model exposes a technology independent abstraction of the different optical technologies with the aim of simplifying the controller functions by hiding the hardware differences • Extended OpenFlow API: The API is responsible for establishing and maintaining the communication tunnel between COSIGN SDN controller and the OpenFlow agent. Specific OpenFlow protocol extensions will be defined at the southbound interface to support the heterogeneous optical technologies developed in COSIGN.

  • Technology Access Contractor expressly acknowledges that state funds may not be expended in connection with the purchase of an automated information system unless that system meets certain statutory requirements relating to accessibility by persons with visual impairments. Accordingly, Contractor represents and warrants to System Agency that the technology provided to System Agency for purchase (if applicable under this Contract or any related Solicitation) is capable, either by virtue of features included within the technology or because it is readily adaptable by use with other technology, of: • providing equivalent access for effective use by both visual and non-visual means; • presenting information, including prompts used for interactive communications, in formats intended for non-visual use; and • being integrated into networks for obtaining, retrieving, and disseminating information used by individuals who are not blind or visually impaired. For purposes of this Section, the phrase “equivalent access” means a substantially similar ability to communicate with or make use of the technology, either directly by features incorporated within the technology or by other reasonable means such as assistive devices or services which would constitute reasonable accommodations under the Americans With Disabilities Act or similar state or federal laws. Examples of methods by which equivalent access may be provided include, but are not limited to, keyboard alternatives to mouse commands and other means of navigating graphical displays, and customizable display appearance. In accordance with Section 2157.005 of the Texas Government Code, the Technology Access Clause contract provision remains in effect for any contract entered into before September 1, 2006.
