Netcracker Technology, Wednesday unveiled its Cloud-Based Online Charging System (OCS), a next-generation offering that has been optimized to meet the requirements of the digital world.
The Company claims the new cloud-based OCS as the industry's first always-active OCS platform and it addresses all of the key pain points associated with legacy, hardware-based charging systems.
According to Netcracker, software-based approach to its Cloud OCS reduces hardware dependency, keeps costs down and delivers unparalleled availability and real-time functionality. Netcracker's Cloud-Based OCS supports horizontal and vertical scalability across all layers.
Netcracker's Cloud-Based OCS enables and supports converged revenue management capabilities across all business lines, including pre-paid and post-paid models for all types of services. It also centralizes storage for all rating, charging, subscriber and policy information onto a single product to support a wide range of products, including support for VoLTE, virtualized, 5G and IoT services. Its faster speeds and extremely low latency, creates the ideal platform for service providers to monetize real-time interactive multimedia offerings, such as augmented reality, virtual reality and real-time online games, claims the company.
Netcracker's Cloud-Based OCS' architecture is designed to be deployed and operated in any environment, including physical, any type of cloud (private, public or hybrid) and virtualized infrastructure.
