OpenCloud Rhino Application Server is used by leading SDP vendors to provide the real-time, highly available, high performance execution environment for telecommunications services. Rhino Application Server delivers classic "carrier-grade" characteristics whilst utilising the price/performance benefits provided by commodity off-the-shelf hardware and software. A Rhino SDP provides flexibility and ease of service innovation for both TDM SS7 and IP networks.

Rhino SDP leverages existing network assets to provide enhanced service revenues from the more traditional person-to-person services, which make up the bulk of operator revenue. Simultaneously, operators have the capability to drive more features and intelligence to create innovative telecoms services, using data, multimedia and meshed services, faster and at a dramatically lower price-point.

Using OpenCloud Rhino Application Server in your SDP to deliver new person-to-person telecoms services provides the following benefits:

  • Open Standards-based systems with support for vendor-specific telecoms protocols fosters competitive supply, innovation and eliminates legacy lock-in
  • A thriving telecoms service developer community that drives innovation and provides competitive supply and price competition
  • Service agility ― services can be created, trialled, adapted and launched in very short timescales and at a dramatically lower price-point.
  • Service innovation via the internet "perpetual beta" model
  • Open Service Creation Environment (SCE) ― avoid implementing "next generation legacy systems" with the associated vendor lock-in using an open SCE that delivers genuinely portable, adaptable services
  • Carrier-Grade performance at an IT price-point ― harness Moore's law to deliver next generation telecoms services at an IT price-point.

Rhino SDP provides an environment for the reliable delivery of classic and Telco 2.0 telecommunication services. This is illustrated below.
