   PARTNER FOCUS

SPOTLIGHT: NuDesign Team, Inc.

NuDesign Team, Inc., specializes in providing Visual SNMP development tools and libraries: Agent Code Generators, MIB Builders, MIB Browsers, Traffic Analyzers, MIB Compilers and other SNMP Components to embedded developers worldwide.

The benefits of deploying NuDesign's management software technologies are reliable, low risk, and quick-to-market solutions. The highly automated Multiprotocol SNMP Agent development tools with associated tutorials enable fast prototyping and development, and facilitate organization and design process while supporting multiple target environments with generation of very complete and ready to build agent.

NuDesign's SNMP Agent tool for QNX Neutrino RTOS generates C++ SNMP Agent code as well as Project Files for use with the QNX Momentics® IDE.

The libraries and the wizard are well integrated with QNX, and NuDesign has recently completed verification testing of its SNMP libraries with QNX Neutrino 6.3.
