Telecom Solutions
A new generation of service and revenue opportunities are emerging for Telecom operators and NEPs (Network Equipment Providers), but capturing these opportunities present tough challenges for current infrastructure deployments. These challenges include:
- Expanding bandwidth delivery/capacity to new media services
- Growing subscribers/rack while minimizing operational costs
- Maximizing ROI on CAPEX/OPEX
These challenges entail stringent storage requirements for operators and NEPS. Storage solutions need to easily scale in support of current deployments (HLR/VLR/HSS/Billing and SMS/MMS) and expand to enable new applications (IPTV VoD, NPVR, Ad Insertion and Social Networking).
