Reliance Communications : SPICE

Only implementation of its kind in the telecom industry worldwide, where a Mediation application has been ported on Sun Solaris

Wednesday, May 07, 2008

To squeeze costs and inefficiencies out of the IT infrastructure, while planning for the increasing demands that a rapidly growing business placed on the systems, Reliance Communications ( RCOM) realized it was imperative to use compute resources to perform the application-centric, intelligent tasks; and to eliminate usage of expensive compute resources for movement of data between different storage resources.

RCOM embarked on an initiative that was unheard of in the telecom world – which was to deploy NFS to support storage -intensive (read/write) and backup tasks. This not only freed compute resources to support growing business needs, but also freed up capacity on existing SAN systems to support the other, transaction-intensive (performance-hungry), applications which were required to handle greater traffic.

This is also the only implementation of its kind in the telecom industry worldwide, where a Mediation application (in this specific case, Intec) has been ported on Sun Solaris, using NFS as the storage protocol.
