Tekelec’s Subscriber Data Server is the most flexible and scalable distributed subscriber database for service provider’s various front-end applications.
Overview
The rapid development and introduction of applications for mobile devices, as well as the influx of machine-to-machine applications on the market, are creating an overwhelming amount of information which needs to be properly stored and managed. Having data scattered across various service silos, databases and networks introduces costly redundancies and a high degree of probability for errors.
Product Description
Tekelec’s Subscriber Data Server addresses this problem by allowing service providers to create a unified subscriber profile by storing data from multiple front-ends - spanning many different networks and technologies. The SDS is the ideal back-end database for front-end applications such as the HLR, HSS, AAA server, ENUM server, application servers, intelligent network (IN) platforms and many more telecom and web servers that require access to an integrated subscriber profile repository. The SDS helps improve time-to-market for new services across any access network, reduces operational costs and the complexity of managing subscriber data in silos, while truly enabling a subscriber-centric, personalized experience.
The SDS is an open-standards database which serves as a centralized repository for aggregated subscriber data. Operators can control and customize their own subscriber data model using a suite of graphical tools, enabling them to custom build their relational schemas, tree-views, custom operations and triggers, as well as managing access privileges, federation links and name-spaces. Such schema modeling capabilities can be used for a variety of an operator’s 3rd party data-less applications, thus reducing network complexity and deployment time. The SDS is a field-proven, scalable database powering real-time applications such as the Tekelec HLR, AAA server and SIP front-ends - and is deployed live with mobile, fixed and machine-to-machine (M2M) service providers
Tekelec’s SDS supports open interfaces including LDAP, SQL and XML/SOAP, giving access to the patented Global Schema, an abstraction layer that unifies relational and tree-based data representations. Service providers have easy access to subscriber data without knowing the physical database architecture. It also allows for the creation of a standard user profile across multiple services and policies, and supports both data consolidation and federation. The SDS is built for compliance with 3GPP User Data Repository (UDR) and Generic User Profile (GUP) standards, and fulfills the subscriber profile repository (SPR) function when supporting policy server deployments.
Benefits
- High Scalability: The SDS supports nearly unlimited scalability with well beyond 100 million subscriber records, with large number of profiles per subscription
- Multi-access: A flexible database that can be applied across many different deployment strategies. Supports wide range of data access APIs: XML/SOAP, LDAP, SQL-92, C++ OQL, DIAMETER and can be customized to support additional interfaces
- Converged Subscriber Data: The flexible Global Schema Abstraction Layer for complete inter-working between a mix of front-end applications and a common, convergence back-end database.
- Inherent Reliability: Geographically-distributed and redundant architecture
Flexible Data Models: Supports data consolidation, data federation, data partitioning and data replication concepts
