About Erlang
Erlang is a programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability. Some of its uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance. OTP is set of Erlang libraries and design principles providing middle-ware to develop these systems. It includes its own distributed database, applications to interface towards other languages, debugging and release handling tools.

Eddie
Eddie is a high availability clustering tool. It is an open source, 100% software solution written primarily in the functional programming language Erlang (www.erlang.org) and is available for Solaris, Linux and *BSD. At each site, certain servers are designated as Front End Servers. These servers are responsible for controlling and distributing incoming traffic across designated Back End Servers, and tracking the availability of Back End Web Servers within the site. Back End Servers may support a range of Web servers, including Apache. The Enhanced DNS server which provides load balancing and monitoring of site accessibility for geographically distributed web sites. This gives round the clock access to the entire available capacity of the web site, no matter where it is located." The Eddie white papers describe the need for products such as Eddie, and outlines the Eddie approach.

Elixir
Elixir is a dynamic, functional language for building scalable and maintainable applications. Elixir leverages the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. Elixir is successfully used in web development, embedded software, data ingestion, and multimedia processing, across a wide range of industries. Check our getting started guide and our learning page to begin your journey with Elixir. All Elixir code runs inside lightweight threads of execution (called processes) that are isolated and exchange information via messages. Due to their lightweight nature, it is not uncommon to have hundreds of thousands of processes running concurrently in the same machine. Isolation allows processes to be garbage collected independently, reducing system-wide pauses, and using all machine resources as efficiently as possible (vertical scaling). Processes are also able to communicate with other processes running on different machines in the same network.

Call Center Designer
Determine the optimum number of agents you need for your desired service levels. By hour, half hour, or quarter hour, determine the ideal number of agents and lines to handle the peaks and valleys of your call traffic for each day of your work weeks. Display, print, or export to Excel. You enter in the call volumes and expenses of your call center, the number of calls, arrival period, average talk time, after-call work time, maximum caller wait, desired service levels. You will then view Call Center Designer's performance statistics or print them. You may also save all your entries and the calculated statistics to files that can be recalled later. All calculations and graphs may be transferred to Excel or Word with a couple of mouse clicks. Call Center Designer uses customized versions of the Erlang C and Erlang B probability algorithms for staffing and trunking calculations.

Mnesia
The management of data in telecommunications systems has many aspects of which some, but not all, are addressed by traditional Database Management Systems (DBMSs). In particular, the high level of fault tolerance required in many nonstop systems, combined with requirements on the DBMS to run in the same address space as the applications, have led us to implement a new DBMS, called Mnesia. Mnesia is implemented in, and tightly coupled to Erlang. It provides the functionality that is necessary for the implementation of fault-tolerant telecommunications systems. Mnesia is a multiuser distributed DBMS specifically designed for industrial-grade telecommunications applications written in Erlang, which is also the intended target language. Mnesia tries to address all the data management issues required for typical telecommunications systems and has a number of features not normally found in traditional DBMSs.
