The rtBilling hardware platform is based on HP NonStop servers that are built on the unique ServerNet architecture. The cluster-based architecture coupled with inter-processor communication ensures the highest server availability, reliability, and performance. In the long run this helps telecom operators meet such strategic objectives as reducing ТСО and minimizing period of ROI.The flagship of the HP NonStop product line is the Integrity NonStop NB50000c BladeSystem based on dual core Intel Itanium 2 processor 9100. This server combines the economic and technology benefits of standard Blade elements with the enhanced fault-tolerance, data integrity, and 24/7 availability of NonStop servers. The unique performance and optimal cost/quality ratio make NB50000c an ideal solution for a business with a high volume of transactions, including telecommunications.
Today, technology plays a key role in business development. As knowledge-intensive industries require increased investment and costs for the IT infrastructure are growing, companies have to search for new ways to reduce the total cost of ownership and at the same time achieve maximum efficiency. The NB50000c BladeSystem is designed to implement complex business-critical applications, thereby making the total IT infrastructure of a company much simpler and minimizing costs for the maintenance of the software/ hardware solution. The NonStop Kernel operating system used on the server enables differentiated installation of OS instances and a variety of software components on different server's processors. It also provides for easy system management and updates, enhanced fault-tolerance thanks to distributed transaction processing, and high data integrity and availability. Each process run on a CPU is backed up on another CPU where it is inactive and uses minimal resources. Hence, increased hardware reliability and lower costs for its maintenance.
