The new implementation of acknowledged CBOSSsms is a hi-end short message service center providing availability and performance never experienced before. The solution has an absolutely different, fully redundant and distributed architecture enabled by the ultra reliable and scalable hardware platform. New CBOSSsms has been purpose-designed to help service providers successfully overcome these challenges. CBOSSsms guarantees 100% delivery of all messages without any losses, which makes it the solution of choice for Mobile Financial Services and content applications.
The new implementation of CBOSSsms is designed for large network operators serving over 2M subscribers and correspondingly provides high performance per processor (up to 200 messages per second). The solution architecture allows for practically unlimited horizontal scalability and can be upgraded without interruption of service provisioning.
SYSTEM OPERATION
New CBOSSsms allows subscribers to exchange short messages with each other and external applications, including sites, self-service systems, content platforms, etc.
Enabling reliability
- Reliable storage with absolutely no losses
- Fully redundant servers
- Updates and upgrades without service interruption
- Highly efficient load balancing, providing stable operation even during peak hours
- Support of distributed operation, guaranteeing data safety and service availability even in global emergencies and catastrophes
- Support of the Mated Pair technology in the Active/Active configuration
The Active/Active configuration includes two or more redundant servers. The diagram shows the configuration based on two remote servers.
By default, each server processes 50% of the traffic and backs up all the data from another server. If server A fails, server B automatically carries on its work and processes 100% of traffic. As soon as server A is back, the solution returns to default mode. The architecture guarantees fault tolerant processing of all the messages without any losses in any situation.
KEY FEATURES
