Telecommunications Value-Added Services (VAS) & Solid Data Solid-State Disks

• Multiplies the throughput of business-critical transactions as much as 100% - 1000%
• Reduces cost of transaction-intensive applications on a per-transaction basis
• Delivers instant-access data storage with the speed of main memory and the persistence of disk storage

Solid Data provides solid-state disk systems that enable telecommunications service providers to grow their business by increasing their ability to deliver more transactions and messages - deploying a broad array of Value-Added Services (VAS) while reducing cost and complexity. Solid Data's unique offering combines software and hardware functionality to enable customers to achieve significant performance improvements in transaction-intensive VAS applications such as billing, Short Messaging Service Centre (SMSC), multimedia messaging, prepaid, WAP, and voice mail alert.

Most VAS applications share similar characteristics:

• Business-critical service
• 24 x 7 availability required
• Large number of small data records to be processed
• Random access to the application by customers
• Fast growing demand for the service / application
• Transaction-intensive applications
• Real time processing necessary
• Need for ease of scalability

MVAS Architectural Elements
Mobile VAS have the ideal application profile for solid-state disks. By placing the files that are constantly being used by the application ("hot files") on a solid-state disk system, the solid-state disk architecture eliminates mechanical latency of traditional disk arrays (RAID), as illustrated below.

Solid Data provides solid-state disk systems that multiply the throughput of business-critical transactions for Mobile Value-Added Services such as wireless messaging.

Without Solid Data Solid-State Disk

Performance: Message throughput: 500,000 / day Cost: Cost per message: $0.0111

With Solid Data Solid-State Disk

Performance: Message throughput: 1.4 million / day Cost: Cost per message: $0.0046

180% Increase Throughput
60% Decrease in Cost per Message
