What is a Sotware Framework?

A sotware ramework is a universal, reusable sotware platorm used to develop applications, products and solutions. Sotware Frameworksinclude support programs, compilers, code libraries, an application programming interace (API) and tool sets that bring together all the

dierent components to enable development o a project or solution.

Sotware Frameworks are designed to acilitate the development process by allowing designers and programmers to spend more time onmeeting sotware requirements rather than dealing with the more tedious details o providing a working system. Sotware rameworks allowdevelopers to spend less time coding, less time “developing” and debugging and more time on value-added development and concentratingon the business-specifc problem at hand rather than on the plumbing code behind it resulting, aster time to market.

Sotware rameworks are used to develop device-to-enterprise applications, Internet-enabled products and automation system solutions.

EndPoint is a sotware platorm that integrates diverse systems and devices regardless o manuacturer, or communication protocol into aunifed platorm that can be easily managed and controlled in real time over the Internet using a standard web browser. EndPoint resolvesthe challenges associated with open systems, integration and interoperability by integrating diverse systems and devices - regardless o manuacturer, or communication protocol - into a unifed   platorm that is easily managed and controlled over the Internet. A scalable solu

EndPoint increases the unctionality and value o “smart devices and systems” by connecting real time operational data to the people andsystems that manage business enterprises.

EndPoint creates a common environment that connects to almost any embedded device imaginable. It models the data and behavior o thedevices into normalized sotware components, providing a seamless, uniorm view o device data to the enterprise via a wide variety o IP-based protocols, XML-based connectivity options, and open API’s. By transorming the data rom diverse external systems into normalizedcomponents, EndPoint creates an architecture that provides substantial benefts over gateway-based integration.

EndPoint is the industry’s frst, open source development ramework that provides a complete sotware platorm or developing, deploying,integrating, and managing pervasive device applications at the lowest level. It brings the power o programmable control and the Internetdown to extremely inexpensive devices. EndPoint distributes decision making control and manageability to any device and brings intelligenceand connectivity to the network edge and back.

Technology Features• Open source

• Rapid porting to new hardware platforms

• Programmable or xed applications

• Wired and wireless communications

• Seamless integration to EndPoint

• Remote provisioning

Benefts o EndPoint

• EndPoint is an extremely robust, exible, and expandable open-based development platform which integrators can build applications withunparalleled reliability, security, operational integrity, exibility, and bottom-line value. Benets include:

• Lower costs and minimized risks - Take advantage o much lower upront capital investment

• Focus on the business value Frees up organizations rom supporting high-cost, custom solutions.

• Faster time-to-value and market - Reduces the time required to implement a security solution.

• Rapid and easy implementation - Reduce initial project implementation requirements

• Decrease time-to-market and optimize performance of the applications
