SDS 3000 TM

Datasheet

The Subscriber Data Server 3000™ is the industry’s most flexible and scalable distributed subscriber
database for telecom operators. The SDS 3000™ is the ideal back-end database for front-end applications
such as HLR, HSS, AAA servers, application servers, IN platforms and many more telecom and web servers
that require access to an integrated subscriber profile repository. The SDS 3000™ helps improve
time-to-market for new services across any access network, reduces operational costs and complexity of
managing subscriber data in silos, while truly enabling the subscriber-centric personalized experience.
Customizable Subscriber Data Model
