Strategies for Next-generation Network Database Architectures

A new paradigm for managing and aggregating network databases

This paper examines challenges and requirements for next-generation subscriber and network data management.

Strategies for Next-generation Network Database Architectures

Faced with increasing competition and pricing pressures, operators are looking to a new breed of “anywhere, anytime” services to boost revenues and subscriber loyalty. Delivering this next generation of services requires not only a network transformation, but a fundamental shift from a network-centric to a subscriber-centric business model. Making that transition is contingent upon the ability to efficiently manage and leverage massive amounts of data.

As a result, operators are rethinking the way they store and manage network, service, device and subscriber data. It is clear that data must be decoupled from the physical and logical databases and applications so that it can be leveraged across multiple services and diverse networks.

Service providers are analyzing different aggregation techniques to rationalize subscriber and network databases, including SDM and XGDB. While SDM is focused on aggregating application layer data, XGDB consolidates network layer data. Tekelec’s XGDB aggregates NP and other network, service and device data to simplify management and provisioning and facilitate the creation of new applications. By approaching aggregation at the network layer, it provides benefits that cannot be realized with techniques deployed at the application layer. The XGDB enables operators to improve network routing, reduce signaling loads and latency, and improve operational efficiency. And, the solution simplifies network consolidation and next-gen migration by enabling disparate technologies to co-exist and share network, service and device data.
