Accounting & Billing: High Availability, High Concurrency Data Management

The convergence of various 3G network technologies permits integrated access to voice, fax, broadcasting and other high-speed data services. It’s good to offer all these services, but it’s just as important to accurately track and reliably invoice subscriber usage.

Generation of Call Data Records (CDR) not only requires a carrier-grade, fault-tolerant data management, but also flexible tariff considerations such as individual operator service plans, customer specific subscriptions, parallel usage and real-time foreign host network access.

Since its conception, the Versant Object Database was designed with a strong focus on high performance and reliability. It therefore fulfills all requirements for fault-tolerant, accelerated accounting & billing solutions in GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) environments. Integrated high-availability add-on modules such as Fault Tolerance Server or Asynchronous Replication provide a reliable solution for 6/9 call data management without downtime. A highly developed Concurrency Control Mechanism permits efficient multiple parallel accesses and greatly increases throughput. Even if the complexity of data and number of access attempts increase with Converged Accounting and Triple Play, no data is lost as the Versant Object Database enables seamless data distribution across multiple databases.
