HSS furthers Carrier-Class Mediation capability
Support for more than 70 million subscribers on single SUN
server
Cannes, France, February 24 2004
Hughes Software Systems (HSS), an end-to-end communication
solutions provider for the telecom industry and Sun Microsystems
Inc. - world leaders in Unix platforms demonstrated the capability
of the HSS Mediation System to address Billing Mediation requirements
of Tier 1 Service Providers.
The HSS Mediation System Ver. 4.X has been successfully tested
to process over 1800 million usage records per day on a single
server, which effectively translates to over 70 million subscribers
on a network. The Mediation System implementation can be further
distributed over multiple servers to achieve extremely high
performance levels.
Technical teams from Sun Microsystems, India and Japan, have
been working closely with HSS' India development team to enhance
the performance of the HSS Mediation System, which can handle
Billing Mediation & Service Provisioning needs of Convergent
Next-Generation Networks. The HSS Mediation System is deployed
with some of the leading Communication Service Providers in
Asia-Pacific, Africa and the USA.
The HSS Mediation System comprises of Billing Mediation System
(BMS) which essentially collects, processes and dispatches
data records and the Service Provisioning Platform (SPP) which
performs Near Real Time Service Provisioning on integrated,
hybrid networks.
Commenting on the successful completion of the joint exercise,
Mr. Manoranjan Mohapatra, Exec. V.P. & Chief Operating
Officer of Hughes Software Systems, said, "Sun has always
been a preferred development and deployment platform for HSS.
With HSS and Sun working closely on the performance of the
HSS Mediation system on Sun platform, our customers are bound
to have even more price-performance value than before".
Mr. Bhaskar Pramanik, Managing Director, Sun Microsystems,
India added "One of our key value propositions is our
ability to offer the most diverse, robust & scalable solutions
to our telecom customers, by working with the leading telecom
solution providers globally. Our partnership with HSS enables
us to offer the best price -performance platform for large
carrier class mediation systems".
HSS plans to release the next version of the Mediation System
in August 2004. The new version 4.5 of the HSS Mediation System
will provide higher levels of scalability and availability.
There is a plan to improve the BMS performance by a further
20% through use of advanced optimization techniques and bringing
in more linearity in the performance of the Service Provisioning
Platform with respect to CPUs. Enhanced load balancing strategies
will provide better sizing and help in further improving the
price-performance.
