Mirantis & Openwave Mobility Collaborate on Subscriber Data Management for NFV
October 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Openwave Mobility announced a
collaboration with Mirantis. Openwave Mobility’s
Subscriber Data Management (SDM) solution, vUDR, has been validated within the
Mirantis OpenStack environment.
Openwave Mobility vUDR is the industry’s first NFV-enabled User Data Repository
(UDR) and has been deployed by several tier one operators globally to manage
subscriber profile data across voice and data networks.
Openwave Mobility’s cloud-based vUDR goes above and beyond traditional UDR
systems. In-built federation and replication means that network applications can
read and write data from any data center or data silo. And while the NFV
infrastructure is typically built using commodity servers which provide 99.9%
availability at best, by using proprietary software processes, vUDR is able to
deliver 99.999% (five-nines) availability on commodity virtual machines. vUDR is
nevertheless lightweight and agile, and it has enabled our customers to onboard new
applications in just two weeks, compared to the average subscriber data provisioning
integration of nine months.
