Enhanced Services
Current challenges in the telecom market are driving the requirement for the development and fielding of enhanced services to generate additional revenue in the same or less physical space. They need Open Systems platforms to support multiple processor and operating systems architectures, with high availability strategies extending beyond 5-9's. They require architectures which are scalable, reliable, supportable, and "Fit for Use" for the applications they are targeting, and in the environments in which they are fielded.

Addressing the range of application from the Enterprise space to the Telco Central Office, Telecommunications Infrastructure customers define the concept of combining the needs of the application with the environment in which the application must exist. Applications which provide the opportunity to realize additional revenue on existing telecom infrastructure bandwidth, such as Voice over IP, Softswitches, Media Gateways, SS7, wireless base station controllers, trunked radio, voice/data grooming, Frame Relay, ISDN and LAN/MAN/WAN bridging, all offer the promise of delivering enhanced services with attractive Return On Investment opportunities.

Platforms serving these converging technologies allow the telecom equipment provider to field revenue generating services in the shortest possible time, with enhanced flexibility, scalability and maintainability, allowing them to concentrate their efforts on their own areas of core competence, increasing their efficiency and value.

With our products targeted for the Central Office, and our platforms focused on the needs of the Enterprise space, I-Bus offers Solaris and Linux-based High Availability solutions, featuring products from our "Best of Breed" partners, such as UpSuite HA from Continuous Computing and High Availability Middleware from Go-Ahead Software.
