Why run AgileVoice on Solaris for VoIP Billing?

The Solaris 10 Operating System – considered the most advanced UNIX operating system ever – provides many features of interest to VoIP telecommunications operators. Solaris 10 delivers indisputable performance for database and web technology, an optimized network stack capable of saturating a 10 GB Ethernet, Predictive Self Healing, Application Fault Management, and superior resource allocation.

The VoIP telecommunication operator is able to consolidate their VoIP softswitch and the AgileVoice billing platform on to the same hardware, without compromising the quality of service provided to their customers. Without the Solaris Operating System, a VoIP telecommunication operator would require a minimum of two systems – one for the softswitch and another for AgileVoice. The VoIP telecommunication operator is able to achieve this goal with the predicable real-time process scheduling capabilities of Solaris.

With application fault management and predictive self-healing, the VoIP telecommunication operator is able to rest, knowing that if the softswitch experiences troubles, Solaris will ensure the softswitch is properly restarted. Additionally, with the proper Sun hardware and Solaris 10, the machine is fully protected from any single point of failure within the hardware.

By implementing AgileVoice on Sun hardware with the Solaris 10 Operating System, the VoIP telecommunication operator is better suited to meet the demands of their customers by providing reliable, resilient, and redundant services while reducing capital and support requirements.
