Alcatel-Lucent 8650 Subscriber Data Manager
( G S M / U M T S , I M S A N D L T E )
The Alcatel-Lucent 8650 Subscriber Data Manager (SDM) is an efficient, next-generation converged database product that consolidates Home Location Register/Authentication Center (HLR/AuC), Mobile Number
Portability (MNP), Equipment Identity Register (EIR), and Home Subscriber Server (HSS) data from multiple
GSM/UMTS HLRs, MNP and EIR functions, and HSSs into a single, virtual data store with centralized
administration, management and reporting.
A key component of the Alcatel-Lucent
Subscriber Data Management solution,
the 8650 SDM features data (profile)
centralization capabilities that help
service providers gain a real-time,
360 degree view of their customers.
The centralized subscriber data immediately becomes more relevant to the
service provider and can be used to
create the highly personalized services
that customers now expect. Centralized
subscriber data is also a key requirement for service delivery environment
(SDE) and service delivery platform
(SDP) strategies and for the transformation to all-IP networks and applications.
Leveraging field-proven technology,
the 8650 SDM consolidates data from
multiple HLRs, MNP and EIR functions,
and HSSs with virtually unlimited
growth because it:
• Reduces network operating expenses
by leveraging high per-node capacity
to simplify the network topology
and replace several applications with
just one
• Consolidates multiple small
databases into a single, virtual
data store with centralized
administration, management
and reporting
• Simplifies future capacity upgrades
by separating the data from the
applications, allowing capacity
increases without major network changes
• Simplifies future network evolution,
allowing application upgrades with
limited impact on the subscriber data
With the 8650 SDM, applications can
be tied to shared network and management resources to help avoid “dirty
data” issues, and enable more flexible
and agile delivery of personalized and
blended services. The 8650 SDM can
also help service providers monetize
their networks and become more
competitive by:
• Leveraging Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs
innovations to gradually increase
their differentiation and business
value with services that deliver
convenience and enhanced quality
of experience (from silos to bundled,
enhanced services, and ultimately, to
personalized and blended services)
• Delivering a consistently high-quality
end-user experience that improves
customer satisfaction and loyalty
and increases willingness to pay for
advanced services
• Providing maximum flexibility while
still providing critical safeguards for
data protection by:
¬ Enabling the easy addition of
new services and applications,
such as EIR and MNP, as well as
third-party applications, such as
authentication, authorization and
accounting (AAA); for example,
through Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP)
¬ Simplifying network expansion
and evolution through HSSs and
Subscriber Locator Function (SLF)
for IP Multimedia Subsystem
(IMS), as well as HSSs for Long
Term Evolution (LTE)
¬ Protecting subscriber data in a
fully secured database with local
and remote redundancy across
two or three sites as well as automatic or manual failover and
recovery capabilities
¬ Ensuring data coherency through
full support of Atomic, Consistency,
Isolation and Durability (ACID)
properties of the database at the
network level
¬ Supporting coherent backup and
restore at the database node level
Features
The 8650 SDM is designed with a
modular architecture to provide the
highest levels of flexibility, performance
and availability, and the broadest
ranges of scalability. Its features include:
Flexibility and performance
• A multi-tier architecture
provides centralized operations,
administration, maintenance and
provisioning (OAM&P) as well as
data repository, application and
signaling support with:
¬ Standard Common Object Request
Broker Architecture (CORBA)
services, XML bulk management,
Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) management,
access control, alarm and performance management, software
management services, Signaling
System 7 (SS7) OA&M and operator security services
