DigitalRoute Extends Technology Lead and Puts Users in Position to Tap 4G Opportunities with New MediationZone Release

STOCKHOLM, December 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Upgraded performance characteristics and new functionality combine to redefine how enterprises address data management challenges and tap new revenue opportunities

DigitalRoute, a leading provider of mediation and data integration solutions for the communications industry, today announced the general availability of MediationZone 6.0. The product's new features and enhanced operational capabilities will help DigitalRoute's customers to further optimize their data infrastructures as well as to identify new opportunities for revenue generation. This is particularly relevant for Communications Service Providers, with 4^th Generation mobile networks set to proliferate in 2013.

Chief among version 6.0's advances is DigitalRoute's Workflow Bridge. This feature enables scaling on heretofore unseen levels. The Workflow Bridge has been observed to bring a tenfold increase in performance, a feat that is particularly interesting for service providers and vendors that are investing in service assurance applications, which require granular data from access networks. Furthermore, it allows real-time features to become available in batch environments, which has historically been difficult because batch processing is single-threaded and real-time is multi-threaded. Now, DigitalRoute has designed an automatic way of scaling on multi-core CPU architectures that allows batch-based processes to be transferred to real-time, even for a limited portion of a processing task.

Also significant is MediationZone's enhanced Usage Management functionality that supports not only hybrid and batch counting in one environment, but also dynamic bucket creation with unlimited hierarchies for multiple services and in multiple vertical industries. In total, MediationZone Release 6.0 takes the product's already impressive performance characteristics to an entirely new level. At the same time, new functionality that further increases the strategic value of MediationZone is introduced. Other highlights of the new release include:

• Tools to increase efficiency for development, especially for teams
• Enhanced operations handling
• New GUI providing a more efficient way of working
• Self-sufficiency with one-click upgrades
• New configuration options, radically increasing performance
• New functionality to reduce load and complexity in BSS and OSS architectures

With Release 6.0, all MediationZone users will quickly benefit from a combination of improved performance allied to cost-efficient scaling, significantly increased processing speed for complex processing scenarios and new functionality to reduce load and complexity in BSS and OSS architectures.

"MediationZone 6.0 enhances the product that is already the first choice data management solution for over 260 Communications Service Providers around the globe today," said Thomas Vasen, Vice President-Product Management, DigitalRoute. "The new release will enable users to continue reducing costs and improving their company's ability to move data between systems, whilst quickly being able to identify and exploit new commercial opportunities."
