Agile and Converged Data Management Solutions for Communications Service Providers

Communication Service Providers (CSPs) around the globe are rushing to transform their networks and systems to deliver both new and existing services at lower costs and with higher agility than ever before.

Price sensitivity, risk of vendor lock-in and the need for interoperability have driven the stampede towards standards-based hardware and open-source software as the infrastructure components for new carrier-grade systems.  This drive to standardization extends into one of the core enablers of network convergence – the database.

In the first part of this two part whitepaper, "Web2.0 lessons for Communications Service Providers", we explored the challenges that Communications Service Providers face due to the convergence of the traditional Communications industry with the Web2.0 industry. We also outline a strategy for success in the Web2.0 world that Communications Service Providers must adapt if they intend to stay successful in a converged world.

In this second part we will present a MySQL based architecture that well meets the challenges we have previously outlined.
