Multi-product Management Software for SMS Product Line

Redback Networks had developed one of the most sophisticated networking products ever, the SMS 1000 multi-protocol virtual router/switch/bridge.

Redback Networks had developed one of the most sophisticated networking products ever, the SMS 1000 multi-protocol virtual router/switch/bridge. Now it needed a configuration and management interface that network providers could actually use. Having heard through about the work that Art & Logic was doing for other networking product companies, Redback hired Art & Logic to create the SMS 1000 product's management interface. Since then Redback has grown from a startup into a highly respected public company, while continuing to work with Art & Logic on several new products. The original codebase, including the Art & Logic Advanced JavaScript Control Suite and some tricky searching, sorting, and filtering software, has sped development of the rest of Redback's product line. Because of the complexity of the SMS products they became a showcase of embedded internet capabilities. For example, the device interface can show which plugin cards are in which device slots and can defer committing a large set of cached configuration changes to eliminate conflicts.
