Tango Telecom sets new performance benchmark for policy server

By Telecom
Lead Team:
Tango Telecom, a provider of policy control, real-time charging and
advanced messaging solutions, announced that its iAX Data Policy Server
achieved a sustained performance of over 12,000 PDP contexts per second per
blade with scalability to over 192,000 contexts per second from a single blade
server chassis.


This
benchmark study included the querying of an external Tango Telecom Subscriber
Profile Repository.


Data usage
in mobile networks is growing exponentially and policy is the key component in
controlling and monetizing network utilization while maintaining subscriber
satisfaction. The next wave of policy solutions must not only support
innovative use cases such as load-aware policy and dynamic pricing for data,
but must also be capable of scaling and performing to meet these aggressive
growth demands.


To put this
benchmark in context, from a fully equipped blade chassis, our iAXData Policy
Server can establish data sessions for over 11m subscribers in one minute. As
networks move towards LTE deployments, we have shown that we are genuinely LTE
ready, not just with sophisticated new features, but with best in class
performance and massive scalability,” said Kieran Kelly, CTO of Tango Telecom
.
