Bharatbook.com added the report, Service Delivery Platforms The SOA-enabled Path to Integrate Legacy and IMS Networks, (http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=66538) evaluates the potential for SDP as a dependable, scalable and flexible platform for core business functions, next generation applications, and independent services.

This report SDP is examined within the context of its relationship to the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the objectives to respond more rapidly to shifts in market conditions, customer demands, new revenue opportunities, and competitive threats. The report includes revenue forecasts by geography, function, and media type through 2012.

Overview

Service Delivery Platform (SDP) can be loosely defined as a standards based framework that facilitates the design, development, implementation and management of services required to run the operations of network services providers. The services could range from the basic voice connectivity to the state-of-the-art rich multimedia services. The most critical value-addition offered by the SDP methodology lies in its ability to abstract ...
... controlling parameters such as location, media control, integration and others. SDP interface with the network elements, OSS/BSS, telco IT infrastructure and partners such as application developers and content providers.

SDP, SOA, and IMS

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) driven initially by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to add centralized control to IP applications for GSM and later augmented by the 3GPP2 to support CDMA networks has many of its foundations in work done by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). IMS has also been transformed through the ETSI vision for Next Generation Networks with their TISPAN reference architecture. IMS has also been evolved for cable networks and MSO companies through the work of Cable Labs and the PacketCable standards. Finally, Verizon has implemented a proprietary version of IMS referred to as A-IMS.

SDP and SOA environments complement IMS (and vice versa) as the latter provides the centralized control for application logic and the ability to offer blended multimedia services across all networks and devices. Anyone considering IMS must also have a SDP strategy and vice versa as the so-called Telco 2.0 services will depend on both.

The report includes:

Evaluation of SDP and SOA in the context of their potential to provide added value to IMS implementations
Analysis of SOA and SDP with respect to their drivers, challenges, implementation methodologies and case studies
Vendor analysis, strategies and portfolios of leading SOA and SDP vendors
Quantitative analysis and conclusions in terms of the market for SDP and SOA products and services

Target Audience for the Report

Anyone with a vested interested in SDP, SOA, and IMS
Wireless, fixed, cable, and NGN operators
NGN infrastructure and applications suppliers
Service bureaus and managed communication service providers
Systems integrators and consultants
