Communications, Media, and Entertainment and Shadowbase Solutions

In today’s telecommunications marketplace there is much more than voice communication. Today it’s about text, voice, audio, music, images, photos, and video. The new revenue streams are driven by a variety of new wireless services. The Shadowbase suite of products provides an infrastructure to insure the reliable delivery of services data from multiple system environments.

Wireless providers, both established and emerging, are faced with significant challenges today. Established carriers face a market saturated with customers demanding more choices. The carriers want to find new services and values to deliver to their existing customer base in an effort to stay competitive. Emerging carriers, on the other hand, need to break into the market with solutions that have a low cost of entry and that allow for evolution to emerging standards. Shadowbase software solutions have been selected by several wireless providers to support these requirements in an efficient and effective manner.

Key telecommunication characteristics of Shadowbase data replication solutions include:

Configurable for extremely low replication latency (the ability to move source database changes to the target and apply them very quickly, in real-time).
Support for “batch” and snapshot, or “periodic refresh,” replication (e.g., the ability to batch changes and send periodically, perhaps when network traffic is low).
Scales with volume to meet fluctuating database loads.
Maximized flexibility for replication source and target feeds.
Automatic recovery in the event of system, network, and database faults.
Support for replication diversity, including built in functions for transformation, mapping, data cleansing, and data filtering.
Support for integrating Shadowbase into the HP OpenCall Intelligent Networking Services (INS) environment, including the Error Reporting and Diagnostics (EADS) subsystem.
