Converged Networks and Services: Next Generation Data Management

Network operators – be it mobile or fixed – face a dual challenge these days. More and more services need to be integrated quickly into an already growing network without compromising the integrity of same.

The future of networks is packet-oriented. IP-based networks allow operators to utilize their networks more effectively and expand them more rapidly, without a compromise in quality. The network’s software intelligence increasingly takes on more and new tasks – with corresponding greater data complexity.  A Softswitch, for example, can act as an H.323 Gatekeeper, Media Gateway Controller, Call Agent and/or SIP Server. The intelligence of such systems, which is best represented with object-oriented models, can be stored directly in the highly available Versant Object Database, eliminating labor-intensive and time-consuming mapping in flat, relational tables.

New service architectures such as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) generally build on horizontal models. Application Servers, that used to run on  dedicated 'vertical' platforms, can now be integrated 'horizontally' on top of predefined application interface, such as IMS’ Service Capability Interaction Manager (SCIM). In order to assure a smooth co-existence between services and data, system designers increasingly turn to object-oriented models. This approach dramatically improves run-time performance because complex inquiries can be processed directly without requiring access to two-dimensional table structures. Logic enhancements are also extremely simple to implement.

With fine-grained object-level locking to maximize concurrent user access, high performance, and reliable high-availability solutions, the Versant Object Database is the ultimate solution to give the new generation of systems and services the high-capacity, intelligent and failsafe brain that it deserves.
