Deploying Innovative Messaging Services Using Optimized System Architecture
DEPLOYING INNOVATIVE MESSAGING SERVICES USING OPTIMIZED SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE An Infinite Convergence and Dot Hill White Paper April 2014 Message Storage Application (MSA) Solution Brief: Infinite Convergence deploys innovative Telecommunications Messaging Products leveraging flexible Storage Solutions designed for scalability. Deploying cost-effective, innovative messaging products that scale to customer needs while maintaining five 9s availability demanded that Infinite Convergence find a storage solution that was optimized for scalability, flexibility and price. Partnering with Dot Hill and using Cassandra provided Infinite Convergence with a solution that meets the high expectations of the Telecommunication marketplace. Overview Operators are faced with declining messaging revenue as subscribers turn to Over-The-Top (OTT) services as their choice for exchanging mobile messages. According to Ovum, OTT messaging apps will have cost operators $32.6 billion in lost SMS revenue in 2013, rising to $86 billion in 2020. The Message Storage Application (MSA) from Infinite Convergence Solutions provides operators with new innovative messaging services that recapture the attention of the subscriber base. The MSA allows subscribers to start messaging on one device, like a mobile phone, and continue the conversation on another device, like a laptop computer or tablet, using one mobile number. There’s no need to remember multiple numbers for the same user, regardless of which device they may be using. All messages are seamlessly synchronized in real-time across all devices, allowing the subscriber to use his preferred devices for exchanging messages. Message content is stored in the network for easy access. The MSA supports feature-rich capabilities beyond text and picture messaging, including group messaging, location sharing and searching.

Page 17 > Storage: Virtualized vs. Software-DefinedPage 27 > Storage Disruptors Page 36 > In the Cloud Era, the Era of Convergence Is Upon Us Page 49 > The 2014 Virtualization Review Buyers Guide Page 56 SPONSORS Storage Spectacular The Storage Infrastruggle Vendors are battling for the future of your storage spend, but are they sidestepping the key drivers of storage cost? By Jon Toigo hile touting “new,” flash-heavy “server-side” topologies and so-called “software-defined architec- tures” as evolutionary replacements for the “legacy” W SANs and NAS appliances that companies deployed in their previous refresh cycles, the industry continues to ignore the more fundamental drivers of storage inefficiency and cost: lack of management both of infrastructure and of data. 1 Storage Spectacular You would think from news reports that the storage industry was on its last legs. Vendor revenues from sales of everything from hard disk drives to external storage arrays, storage area networks (SANs) and network attached storage (NAS) appliances are either flat or declining ever so slightly. Seagate and Western Digital have hit a patch of dol- drums in which the trends of prior years—the doubling of drive capacities every 18 months and the halving of cost per GB every year—have frozen in their tracks. Even the redoubtable EMC, NetApp and IBM are experiencing purchasing slowdowns at customer shops that shouldn’t be happening if the capacity demand explosion that analysts say accompanies server virtualization is to be believed.

Real-Time Storage Tiering for Real-World Workloads
Dot Hill Systems White Paper Real-Time Storage Tiering for Real-World Workloads Dot Hill Systems | Introduction 1 Dot Hill Systems White Paper INTRODUCTION The performance of many of today’s server-based applications is limited by the relatively slow input and output (I/O) to disk storage. A common way to mitigate this limitation and improve performance is to replicate active data from disks to higher-speed memory in a cache in servers and storage area networks (SANs). While caching content does help, it too has limitations, however. Caching primarily accelerates reads, and the size of the cache is normally only a small fraction of the disk capacity available. This makes it necessary to change the content constantly, and the algorithms employed to determine which content to cache may fail to deliver meaningful performance gains for critical applications. Advances in technologies have created a new layer or tier of storage between cache memory and traditional hard disk drives: the solid-state drive or SSD. SSDs use high-speed flash memory and offer capacities on a par with those of hard disk drives (HDDs). SSDs can be used either to create a very large cache (that substantially improves “hit” rates) or a very fast and full tier of disk storage. Either way, the performance gains can be significant for many applications. The purpose of this white paper, intended for both business and technical decision-makers, is to describe the use of flash memory in SANs, in general, and how Dot Hill Systems has implemented SSDs in its next-generation SAN.
