This flexibility allows equipment manufacturers to deploy management interfaces today (such as CLI or Web/XML) and quickly add additional interfaces (such as Netconf) in the future as required - all built on a common, shared management infrastructure. As a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution, embeddedMIND offers many advantages over in-house development including:
