Sun is debuting the iForceSM Solution for Telecommunications Service Delivery, which is designed to help carriers and service providers speed up the creation and delivery of services, use voice and data services to add to revenue and lower the cost and complexity of service introduction.

The solution is an important piece in Sun's strategy for telecommunications and is able to provide a robust, flexible and standards-driven architecture. It is designed to address the need for carriers and service providers to securely expose their networks in order to take advantage of their existing infrastructure investments. The solution is also meant to facilitate commerce with the third-party development community.

"Our customers are asking for solutions that can enable them to implement and deploy an end-to-end service delivery platform without overhauling their existing infrastructure investments," said Phil Sasso, senior director of the telecommunications industry at Sun. "Core to the Service Provider infrastructure and essential for the ability to help deploy revenue-generating voice and data services are JavaTM systems and technologies such as JAINTM SLEE, OSS Through JavaTM (technology) and the Sun JavaTM Enterprise System."

The iForce Solution for Telecommunications Service Delivery is comprised of four main elements:

• Service Creation and Content Acquisition: This helps give carriers and service providers the flexibility to either create new services within their network environment or to securely leverage new services and content from 'un-trusted' third-party application providers.

• Service Integration: This helps minimize the need for customized integration while providing for flexible customer pricing, bundling, packaging and discounting.

• Service Management: This helps provide wholesaling models for enterprise delegation, revenue assurance and mediation.

• Service Delivery: This enables service brokering, transaction monitoring, service assurance and dynamic resource provisioning.

The new Sun solution is being offered with ISVs including Appium, jNETx and Leapstone; media server vendors like Convedia; and system integrators like tekVizion PVS. Sun's iForce initiative is designed to link Sun with its worldwide partners in order to offer solutions that can cut costs and reduce time to market. [...read more...]
