Commetrex' Open Everywhere™ architecture is here to help you avoid
captive technologies with Open Telecommunications Framework®, Commetrex' implementation of the ECTF S.100 recommendation. OTF's client-server architecture gives you
unlimited scalability, and allows you to get your product to market
faster with less investment in development. Commetrex' OTF Kernel is available integrated with
Commetrex' OpenMedia and MSP Media Gateway product line. But
since it is a software-only product, you can also use it to take your
proprietary system resource to market without making the investment
of years and millions of dollars required to produce a world-class
system software environment.
So what is Telephony Middleware?
The term ‘middleware’ denotes connectivity software that consists of a set of
enabling services and their APIs that allow multiple processes running on one or more
machines to interact across a network. The term is appropriately used for the
third-generation of CT environments exemplified by the ECTF S.100 recommendation, Commetrex’ Open Telecommunications
Framework® (OTF), Dialogic’s CT Media, and Brooktrout's RealComm 100, all of which are S.100 conformant.

The modular OTF
Kernel, designed for the volume OEM, gives the hardware OEM an unprecedented option of
licensing an ECTF S.100-conforming kernel to which can be added either S.100-conforming or
proprietary extensions. With the OTF Kernel, the OEM can develop a proprietary
implementation with key system elements, such as the administration facility, container
manager, and media resources are all tailored to the vendors specific market.

The recent advent of blade servers, combined with IP-telephony and giga-hertz-plus
PCs, has created the conditions needed for Commetrex to create BladeWare™ , a
category-defining software product. BladeWare gives the OEM the tools needed to
build the all-server-blade media server. It combines Commetrex’ OTF Kernel™
telephony middleware, OpenMedia™ host signal processing framework, and our
Packet-media Technologies to produce an open, modular platform for servers based
entirely on PC blades. Although the architecture supports the addition of adjunct
resources, such as DSPs and PSTN interfaces, none are required to produce systems
that scale to 30,000 channels in one 19-inch equipment rack.
For the last few years, the MIPS available on one Pentium-class PC have been adequate
to process over 100 media streams, while still leaving ample processing power to host
several applications. And, with Moore’s Law still being followed by the semiconductor
industry, the number doubles every 18 months. Now, the availability of blade servers
make scaling the number of open-architecture processors in a system as easy as
adding a DSP-resource board. And the densities are nearly the same. But,
although blade-server architecture makes scaling the number of processors a snap,
the software required to harness these MIPS and provide seamless system
expansion has not been available.
