1.1Introduction
Emerson provides an SAF Hardware Platform Interface (HPI) as part of its AdvancedTCA platforms. HPI provides an industry standard interface to monitor and control highly available telecommunications system platforms. The ability to monitor and control these platforms is provided through a consistent and standard set of programmatic interfaces that are targeted for adoption by the telecom building block industry to significantly reduce product
HPI provides the interface between the middleware software solution stack and the hardware solution stack, allowing portability of middleware software building blocks across many different hardware platforms and portability of hardware platforms across many different middleware software building blocks.
