SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 07/02/08 --
Kabira Technologies, a leader in extreme
transaction processing software for global enterprises, today announced the
release of the 3.4 version of its widely deployed Kabira Provisioning and
Service Activation™ product (KPSA). The new version is designed to enable
faster service provisioning, easier monitoring and greater flexibility by
simplifying how complex product offerings and services are handled. With
the new 3.4 release, Kabira demonstrates its responsiveness to the need for
service providers to both better integrate with their legacy systems and to
provide greater support for new developments in customer self- and
auto-provisioning.
The new enhancements build upon well-established KPSA advantages in general
service activation and in the provisioning of wire line, wireless and
multi-play packages -- including those comprised of high speed data, VoIP,
TV and wireless content offerings. KPSA is deployed on 2G to 3G+ and
broadband networks (DSL, optical fiber, and WiFi) worldwide, and is
currently in development phase for IMS and WiMAX.
Stephane Beauvais, KPSA product manager at Kabira, comments, "Naturally, as
a leader in extreme transaction processing solutions, we have been at the
forefront of helping Tier One telecom and broadband service providers, as
well as emerging service providers attain their extremely demanding service
delivery goals." Beauvais continued, "As new services become increasingly
more complex, today's intensely competitive marketplaces require ever more
rapid and exacting new service provisioning and activation. With its 3.4
release, Kabira's service fulfillment offering demonstrates our ability and
commitment to drive service delivery innovation to the next level."
Changes in how KPSA communicates asynchronously with legacy network
elements, provisioning systems and enterprise middleware enables service
providers to more swiftly introduce new services for a larger number of end
users. At the same time, Kabira has improved KPSA responsiveness for
synchronous service provisioning. Increases in system throughput and
reduction in processing latency contribute to accelerating internal
handling of synchronous processing requests associated with
self-provisioning applications. Today KPSA has been shown to be able to
provision up to 210 service orders per second on Linux-based, 2 x 2Ghz dual
core Opteron systems with a latency of under 200 milliseconds.
With this release, KPSA now includes a fully integrated alarm forwarding
capability for SNMP network managers. Alarms can be predefined within KPSA
and are logged into a dedicated file. These changes make it easier for
service providers' operational staff to see, identify and resolve
provisioning issues. Additionally, this release improves how the KPSA
service catalogue helps service providers provision and activate complex
service offerings -- enabling higher-quality service design, maintenance
and re-usability across various technologies. New service catalogue
capabilities include extended mapping between customer and resource facing
service orders and scripting enhancements for a clean delineation between
market level service offerings and network level service renderings.
The new 3.4 version of KPSA is available on Solaris 10.x, Linux x86 and
Redhat 5. For more information about KPSA, please visit www.kabira.com.
