Sun and NTT COMWARE Demonstrate Next Generation SIP Application Server Technology
CHICAGO, Ill. – SUPERCOMM Conference (Booth #78022) – June 6, 2005 - Sun
Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq:SUNW) and NTT COMWARE, a group company of NTT ,
today made the first public demonstration of Sun's upcoming NetraTM ATCA
(advanced telecom computing architecture) blade platform at 2005 Supercomm.
The demonstration shows NTT COMWARE's next-generation SIP application
server technology for “triple-play” services (voice, video and data) on
Sun's Netra ATCA blade running carrier-grade Solaris™ Operating System.
This new platform is scheduled for release at the end of 2005.
“Today we are demonstrating a major step toward enabling service providers
to quickly deploy next generation voice, video and data services on our
upcoming ATCA platform,” said Raju Penumatcha, VP of Netra Systems and
Networking (NSN), Sun Microsystems. “This demonstration validates the
importance of Sun's ATCA strategy for high-performance, highly available
next-generation telecom services that meet the demand of today's service
providers.”
The combination of the UltraSPARC® processor-based ATCA blade running the
proven carrier-grade Solaris 10 Operating System™, NTT COMWARE's
best-in-breed SIP application server and NMS Communications' Open Access
platform will uniquely enable high performance, highly available
triple-play services for emerging fixed mobile convergent networks.
“NTT COMWARE has been working very closely with Sun on our next-generation
SIP application server technology and we intend to deploy this technology
on Sun's ATCA blade platform to enable triple-play services for our key
service provider customers,” said a senior vice president with NTT COMWARE.
“Leveraging an open, standards-based computing platform like Sun's Netra
ATCA blade platform will allow us the flexibility to rapidly deploy
revenue-generating services that can easily adapt to evolving marketplace
needs.”
Earlier this year, Sun announced that NMS Communications would be
delivering its OpenAccess technology on Sun's upcoming ATCA platform.
Concurrently, NMS Communications is announcing publicly its plans for
delivering its ATCA standards-based OpenAccess products to the market.
This real-world telecom application provides the first tangible example of
this collaboration on Sun's ATCA blade platform.
Additional Industry Support From Leading Real-Time Data Management
Providers: TimesTen and Solid Information Technology
To accelerate development and deployment of next-generation telecom
services, such as IP multimedia subsystems (IMS), Sun today also announced
alliances with leading real-time data management software providers,
TimesTen and Solid Information Technology. Next-generation telecom
services, such as IMS, demand real-time data management and open, scalable
ATCA platforms to meet the performance and capacity requirements of today's
service providers. Real-time data management software is used to facilitate
seamless call transfer from one network to another and enable
location/presence-based services without noticeable delays.
"By bringing together Sun's Netra ATCA blade platform with leading embedded
data management providers, service providers and network equipment
providers will be able to more quickly develop and deploy revenue-enhancing
next generation telecom services for emerging convergent networks," said
Raju Penumatcha, VP of Netra Systems and Networking, Sun Microsystems.
"Sun's Netra ATCA blade platform will deliver the scalable, highly
available, carrier-grade platform needed to make next generation telecom
services cost-effective while reducing time-to-revenue."
TimesTen will be qualifying and delivering its embedded, real-time data
management software products on Sun's Netra ATCA blade platform, supporting
both Solaris 10 and carrier-grade Linux operating systems. TimesTen’s
products, based on in-memory SQL relational database technology (RDBMS) and
open, standard APIs, provide the ideal foundation for such services, and
match the carrier-grade expectations of service providers worldwide.
“TimesTen and Sun have been working together for more than six years to
meet the needs of telecom customers. We share a commitment to providing
best-in-class software and hardware infrastructures that innovate and
optimize value,” said John Trembley, director of telecom and networking at
TimesTen. “The Sun Netra ATCA blade platform and TimesTen’s real-time data
management software are well-positioned for the evolution of core networks
and converged services.”
Similarly, Solid Information Technology, a long time Sun partner, will also
be qualifying and delivering its complete embedded data management software
platform on Sun's Netra ATCA blade platform, supporting both Solaris 10 and
carrier-grade Linux operating systems. Optimized for carrier-grade telecom
devices and services, Solid's embedded data management software platform
provides a truly integrated in-memory and disk based SQL relational
database engine (RDBMS) that includes patented bi-directional data
distribution technology to guarantee data consistency across loosely
connected systems.
“By bringing together Sun’s standards-based ATCA blade platform with
Solid’s standards-based embedded data management software platform, we are
making it much easier for service providers to speed their next-generation
services to market,” said Alain Couder, President and CEO of Solid
Information Technology. “Solid delivers proven, high-availability core
technology so that service providers don’t have to reinvent the wheel and
can instead focus on creating new services like IMS, VoIP, PTT and other
novel IP-based services.”
