As network operators prepare to deliver the next generation of communications services, many are moving from circuit-switched to IP-based networks to reduce operating costs and increase service flexibility. Traditional information architectures were never designed to cope with the rapidly changing services portfolio of a modern telecom operator—so these, too, must change. Oracle can support your communications business on the road to next generation services, enabling you to:
Leading telecommunication companies recognize the need to adopt Service-Oriented Architecture to accelerate the delivery of next generation services. Oracle's portfolio for SOA combines the power of our carrier-grade database technology and Oracle Fusion Middleware, allowing you to transform your information architecture to deliver the flexibility and agility to keep you ahead.
- Design, build, and manage a Service-Oriented Architecture
- Accelerate the creation and delivery of new services, reducing time to market
- Share information more effectively across all systems
- Reduce integration costs and leverage your existing IT investments
Losing a mission-critical application, such as a billing system, can cost you tens of thousands of dollars every minute. With Oracle's Real Applications Clusters, you can make your applications unbreakable, ensuring "five nines" availability to meet carrier-grade requirements. Combine the speed of the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database, and you can achieve the performance levels required for network applications, such as HSS and real-time charging.
- Deliver 100% availability for your critical applications, such as billing
- Achieve real-time performance for real-time applications, such as prepaid rating and charging
- Load balance for optimum server utilization, yielding reduced capital and operating costs
- Manage peak loads with Oracle Grid technology
Network IT infrastructure, such as switches and routers, has traditionally been based on proprietary hardware and software, making it expensive to own. Today, that traditional model is being challenged by the availability of low-cost hardware components and open standards-based software capable of delivering carrier-grade performance and reliability. The Oracle Carrier Grade Framework, in conjunction with low-cost blade servers and the Linux operating system, will allow network equipment manufacturers and network operators to dramatically reduce the cost of ownership for network IT infrastructure.
- Reduce the capital costs and operating costs of network IT infrastructure
- Dramatically reduce application development time and costs
- Improve flexibility and service agility
- Build applications on a modular, standards-based framework of services
