Telecommunication Services

Today’s telecommunications marketplace consists of much more than voice communication: text, voice, audio, music, images, photos, and video. Significant revenue streams are driven by a variety of new wireless services. Critical to all telecommunications providers is application uptime (business continuity, particularly application service availability). Significant dissatisfaction and loss of business can result if customers cannot hear a dial-tone, send a text, or access their account online. The HPE Shadowbase suite of software products provides an infrastructure to ensure the reliable delivery of services data from multiple system environments. Shadowbase solutions are selected by many telecommunications providers to meet these needs:business continuity (minimizing both planned and unplanned downtime), and for data distribution, data warehousing, and real-time business insight.

Key HPE Shadowbase solution features for telecommunications include:

• Sophisticated business continuity architectures from active/passive to fully active/active solutions
• Configurable for extremely low transactional replication latency (the ability to move source database changes to the target and apply them very quickly, in real-time change data capture)
• Support for batch/snapshot, or periodic refresh/replication (the ability to batch changes and send periodically, perhaps when network traffic is low)
• Scale with volume to meet fluctuating database loads
• Maximum 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
