Telecom Industry
Heavy Activity is Handled Routinely
The telecommunications industry is in the midst of a technological revolution. For decades, customer demographic and phone utilization patterns for land line operations had been relatively predictable. Infrastructure upgrade cycles could be prepared for, planned out well in advance, and finally rolled out in well-defined and controlled process. The worldwide ubiquity of mobile phones, and smart phones in particular, have completely changed these metrics, introducing more complex demands upon telecommunication network infrastructures. The datacenter of a major mobile telecommunications provider is no longer about trunks and switches, it is now not unlike any other major IT datacenter full of powerful CPU’s and storage arrays that have to be intelligently managed to perform to the satisfaction and transparency of the end user. While offering tremendous customer and revenue growth opportunities to nimble telecom operators, the personalities of the end users, their demands for ever-increasing functionality, and the tsunami of software applications being made available to them impose previously unimaginable transaction latency and bandwidth requirements upon the telecom IT infrastructures.
The RamSan® line of solid state disks (SSD) deliver cost effective outstanding performance with:
- Latency of less than 15 microseconds
- IOPS (Input/Outputs Per Second) that scale well beyond 1 million IOPS
- Up to 10 GB/s bandwidth
- Capacity-dense systems of up to 10TB
- A focus on Green power initiatives
In order to deliver the highest performing, most reliable, and cost effective enterprise class solutions, which provide real-time performance acceleration for supported applications for the telecom industry, consideration must be given to technologies that can accelerate the most critical aspects of the telecom datacenter. The addition of the RamSan® line of solid state disks by Texas Memory Systems to a telecom IT infrastructure will provide telecom operators a powerful, essential tool to strengthen existing customer relationships, drive new service adoption, and increase their average revenue per user.
Solid state disks offer increased performance to some of the most important applications in the telecom industry. They drastically improve performance without requiring costly rewrites of applications by dramatically reducing the latency of the storage. There are two broad categories of applications where solid state storage disks are leveraged: applications where the best performance would come from running in server memory but the volatility (risk of data loss) of memory simply cannot be tolerated and applications where such large capacities are needed that server memory is either not large enough or too costly. The RamSan-440 and the RamSan-630 solid state storage disks are intently designed to deliver a solution to both of these use cases. They are proven solutions deployed globally in mission critical environments to accelerate the most essential telecom applications.
