WHAT ARE THE TELECOM DATACENTER APPLIANCES? WHAT IS PURPOSE?


In simplest terms, a data center is a pyhsical facility which organizations use to house their critical data and applications. A telecom datacenter is a facility owned and operated by a Telecommunications or Service Provider company.

  • These types of data centers require very high connectivity and are mainly responsible for driving content delivery, mobile services, and cloud services.
  • Typically the telecom datacenter uses 2 post or 4 post racks, to house IT infrastructure, however cabinets are becoming more prevalent.
  • Use their own staff to install and manage the sites, initial install and continual routine. A lot become lights out sites.

Most commonly used telecom datacenter appliances are:

Cloud Storage Platforms

Cloud storage is a model of computer data storage in which the digital data is stored in logical pools, said to be on "the cloud". The physical storage spans multiple servers (sometimes in multiple locations), and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a hosting company. These cloud storage providers are responsible for keeping the data available and accessible, and the physical environment protected and running. People and organizations buy or lease storage capacity from the providers to store user, organization, or application data.

Cloud storage services may be accessed through a colocated cloud computing service, a web service application programming interface (API) or by applications that utilize the API, such as cloud desktop storage, a cloud storage gateway or Web-based content management systems.

HybridTCA Platforms

HybridTCA Platforms are created to meet the challenging requirements for carrier-grade network control, cloud computing and data center. These appliances integrate control, management and data processing in one system and have advantages over the prevalent AdvancedTCA infrastructure in aspects of hardware design, customization options and cost/energy efficiency.

vCPE/uCPE Platforms   

Virtual customer premises equipment (vCPE) is the use of industry-standard x86 devices, rather than function-specific appliances, for enterprise network edge functions, including WAN edge routers, WAN optimization controllers (WOCs), and security functions such as firewalls.

Universal Customer Premise Equipment (Ucpe) is a general purpose platform that integrates compute, storage and networking on a commodity, off-the-shelf server, allowing it to provide network services (such as SD WAN, firewall etc.) as virtual functions to any site on a network.

Video Transport Platforms

High performance video transport platforms designed for 4K media convergences, video streaming, VOD and other online video driven applications.

Modules and Blades

Add-on cards to offload demanding packet processing to processors that are specifially designed for task

Telecom Datacenter Appliances are essential for organizations because data centers house an organization's most critical and proprietary assets, data centers are vital to the continuity of daily operations. Consequently, the security and reliability of data centers and their information are among any organization’s top priorities.
