Ginkgo Networks - Key Contact is Hubert
Zimmermann
Ginkgo
Networks SA is a
company incorporated in France.
It has won nation-wide contests for innovative companies, with access
to
sizeable funding as a result. It addresses the self-managed networking
behaviour.
Ginkgo
technology targets:
companies, equipment manufacturers and operators. It offers network
nodes updated
with autonomous agents to provide the right network behaviour depending
on its
current state. These autonomous agents are modules injected in the
network
nodes. Ginkgo-Networks technology is unique because it is linked to a
double
skill almost non-existent today coming from the field of Intelligent
agent software
and a smart networking paradigm (the use of intelligent agents for the
control
and the management of the network). These concepts allow (1) a dynamic
and
intelligent control of the equipment in a local manner, (2) a global
network
control in a cooperative manner, (3) a more autonomous network
management, (4)
a better warranty of the quality of service in an end-to-end manner and
(5) a
simplification of implementation and processes needed to run
network-based
services
Ginkgo,
as leader in autonomic
environment industry, is involved in this project to design the new
knowledge plane
in the legacy network architecture. Ginkgo is also interested in
designing
network element control and reference service architectures. Ginkgo
leads three
work packages: WP 1.2, WP 2.4 and WP 4.1.
