Carrier Grade Service Delivery Platforms

While SDP’s can take many forms with offerings from ISVs and SIs, they all share one thing in common - the need for a flexible, continuously available and high performance data management environment. Deploying a carrier grade SDP enables service providers to offer new revenue generating, real-time services faster than using their legacy infrastructure. The types of services delivered using an SDP include multimedia messaging, mobile content delivery, mobile gaming, social networking and more.

The ability of a Service Delivery Platform to interact with many service types places new demands on the underlying database. Much higher update rates driven by presence and location based services are to be expected, coupled with much larger database sizes driven by complex, composite services. The rapid addition of new services requires on-line updates to database schema. The availability and latency requirements become ever more stringent and the ability to scale instantly to handle massive demand is paramount.

The challenge for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) and Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) is to implement a highly scalable platform for delivering services to an exponentially growing number of subscribers. MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition is a high availability database solution designed to help meet these requirements.
