3.2 Proposed Hardware
Front-End IP Server
As seen in the system
diagram shown in the previous sections, there will be several
IP server interface with CMCC M-GMSC. The IP server itself
shall serve for 2 major functions: -
1. Interface with CMCC
Mobile Network
2. Perform standard ISUP Message Signal Handling
3. Ringring Playback
4. Various Ringring IVR functions (User Administration, etc.)
Each of the IP Server
will be equipped with: -
1. E1 Interface (with IVR Capabilities)
2. SS7 Controller Card (to enable the SS7 ISUP Capability)
As per site, all the IP
Server shall be running in load sharing mode, where it is
assumed that CMCC network will evenly distribute all the Ringring
related traffic to various IP servers.
Subscriber Profile Database
Server
As shown in the diagrams
(Figure 3.1-3.9), each of the installation sites shall have
their own subscriber profile database, whereas these database
shall be used for Ringring Subscriber profile database purpose.
Each site's database shall only store their own city's Ringring
Subscriber Profile information.
For Database Redundancy
purpose, CRF (Continuous Roll Forward) Mechanism has been
used for data redundancy purpose between the active and standby
database server.
Web Server
Multiple web servers will
only be installed at GuangZhou Ringring Platform. It is assumed
that all the web traffic for Ringring will be centralized
and redirected into these GZ web servers.
The web server's role
is to hold various web pages for: -
1. Ringring Subscriber
Profile Management Web Console (used by Ringring Service Subscribers)
2. Ringring SP System Operation and Management Web Console
(Used by SP)
3. Ringring Content Management Console (Used by Content Provided
and SP)
Both Ringring Service
Subscribers and Ringring SP system administrator can maintain
their own Ringring service profile and the system configuration
via the above consoles.
The web servers shall
be running in load sharing mode. A Level 4 Switch (Load Balancer)
will be put in front of the web servers for distributing the
incoming web traffic between the all web servers. In case
of hardware failure at one of the web servers, the Level 4
switch is also capable of re-directing all web traffic to
the active running web servers.
Firewall Server has also
been included in the proposed solution for higher IP security
purpose.
Centralized O&M Terminal
A centralized O&M
Terminal will be provided centralized operational and maintenance
of the GuangDong Ringring System purpose.
Audio Bank
The audio bank itself
serves as a centralized storage for all Ringring voice and
ringback tone file, there will be two different ways to maintain
the RINGRING voice files: -
1. Centralized Voice File Access – where all devices (IP
Server, Web Server, etc.) will obtain voice and ringback tone
file directly from the audio bank
2. Centralized File Distribution – the audio bank will serve
as a focal point for voice file update where system administration
will update and upload new voice file to this audio bank first.
And the audio bank will perform file synchronization with
various devices periodically.
No. of ringtones which
can be stored on the audio bank shall be depending on the
hard disk space storage available at the audio bank.
The average file size
of each individual ringtone is ~120K (15 sec long ringtone).
Assuming that one single audio bank system will have a usable
storage size of 500Gb. Therefore, the possible number of file
to be stored on the audio bank is ~4000000 voice/ringback
tone files.
In order to ensure high
access performance of audio bank system, for Ringring DIY
feature, it is recommended to limit the duration of each personal
announcement to a duration of 15 seconds. Also, it is recommended
to limit each subscriber to have only 1 personal announcement.
For the detail calculation
of Audio Bank, please refer to appendix 1.
Misc. Accessories
Various miscellaneous
equipments have also been included in the proposed solution:
-
Housing Equipments: Equipment
Cabinet
System Accessories: Keyboard, LCD Video Monitor, Mouse, and
KVM Switch
Network Accessories: Ethernet Hubs, Ethernet Switches (Supporting
Gigabit Ethernet Interface)
For detail hardware information,
please refer to the next two sections (Section 3.2.1 &
Section 3.2.2).
