STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN -- (Marketwire) -- 01/18/13 -- Tail-f Systems, the leading provider of multi-vendor configuration management and network automation software, today announced that Pulsecom has licensed Tail-f's NCS software to develop NetPulse EMS, Pulsecom's carrier-class Element Management System (EMS).

"The ability to offer a true carrier-class EMS platform is critical to the success of our SuperG family of Access and Network Interface Device (NID) products," says Paula DeCarlo, Director Pulsecom Engineering Operations.
