RateIntegration Announces PriceMaker Rating Grid
1 | 2 All »
CHICAGO, April 25 -- RateIntegration, the leading
provider of Revenue Lifecycle Management solutions, and IBRIX, the
leader in scalable file serving solutions, today announced the general
availability of the PriceMaker Rating Grid. Delivering sustained
throughput for rating and discounting of over 1.1 million events per
second, the PriceMaker Rating Grid helps telecommunications service
providers model the profitability of competitive pricing plans at a
minimum 10x price/performance over existing solutions.
The PriceMaker Rating Grid is a highly scalable rating solution
based on RateIntegration's PriceMaker Enterprise Pricing Server 8.0 and
the IBRIX Fusion scalable file serving solution. Rating Grid
Scalability performance benchmarks conducted at Yale University using
real-world rating and discounting scenarios used by Tier I service
providers yielded an observed aggregate throughput in excess of 1.1
million Call Detail Records (CDRs) per second or 4 billion events
per hour. The PriceMaker Rating Grid was loaded with over 2 billion
CDRs, as well as 4 million subscribers and real-world "re-price"
scenarios typically used for modeling new services or competitive
analyses.
"Showing that PriceMaker can cost effectively scale to over 1
million transactions per second is an outstanding benchmark result,"
said Thomas Thekkethala, CEO of RateIntegration. "More impressive is
the fact that the overall benchmark included complex rating and
discounting scenarios, which truly makes price modeling, re-pricing,
invoice-level revenue assurance and cost audit and profitability
analytics accessible to service providers at very reasonable price
points."
PriceMaker Enterprise Pricing Server is the engine that powers
RateIntegration's complete Revenue Lifecycle Management (RLM) solutions
which are in use today by some of the largest service providers in the
world. These solutions, powered by the IBRIX Fusion segmented file
system technology, provide service providers with the data and analysis
required to conduct profitability analytics for all services in the
multiple markets they serve.
"IBRIX Fusion significantly increases application performance by
improving data delivery to computing elements," said Shaji John, CEO of
IBRIX. "This benchmark clearly illustrates IBRIX's scalable file
serving solution is the clear choice for carriers that require high
throughput and scalability." The PriceMaker Rating Grid is available
from RateIntegration and its partners and is delivered as a turnkey
solution for service providers worldwide. The entry-level solution
includes 16 nodes capable of processing 350,000 CDRs per second.
Advanced offerings can be scaled to support larger configurations
capable of processing multiple millions of CDRs per second.
RateIntegration and IBRIX will showcase the PriceMaker Rating
Grid at the TeleStrategies Billing and OSS World Conference, April
25-27 in Chicago. The demonstration, including
the scalability performance benchmark, will be hosted at the
RateIntegration booth. A scalability white paper detailing this
effort, along with a discussion of the results, will be available at the conference, as well as at RateIntegration's Web site.
