NetPlane Core Services
NetPlane Core Services (NCS) is a suite of HA middleware which implements the Service
Availability Forum™ (SAF) interface specification. The SAF is a consortium of industry-leading
communications and computing companies working together to develop and publish high
availability and management software interface specifications.

In addition to the services that implement the SAF interface, NCS contains complementary
services that were introduced by Motorola and which are required in a a complete high-

Platform Control Software
Platform Control Software (PCS) is an hardware and operating system abstraction layer that
was defined by Motorola. It comprises software components that are specific to the underlying
hardware platform. On the other hand, PCS is hardware and OS agnostic and is therefore
portable across various Avantellis product lines. PCS functionality also includes software that
is responsible for the HA of hardware and OS specific software entities in the system.
