Benefits

Flexible and extensible data model with multi-tenancy

OVOOcado OCS was designed to provide multiple levels of data flexibility. The product is inherently multi-tenanted and also widely adopted by various Mobile Virtual Network Enablers (MVNEs) delivering segmented services and second brands from a single instance.

Data is segmented into provider/tenant – reseller structure. Each reseller can define own: events, services, tariffs, commercial offers, account types and groups supporting multiple bundles with account hierarchy.

Last but not least, the rating rules can be selected as a simple rule or as a script with multiple levels of freedom.

Modular architecture and Microservice

We are learning from the market leaders as PayPal, Netflix, and Walmart who shown the way to achieve a rapid digital transformation of legacy systems.
Our product was designed in modular with microservice architecture pattern to achieve high resilient, flexible, scalability, low impact on other services/modules.

OVOOcado OCS was divided into subsystems. Each subsystem is the independent component which can be deployed and scaled independently from each other. We can identify following substems: API Gateway, GUI, Provisioning, Alar, CDR, data, charging engine, charging interface etc.

Integration via open standard interfaces

OVOOcado OCS is fully manageable via open standard RESTFul API provided 100% coverage. It means that everything can be accessed and configured via this API.

Moreover, it is compliant with Telco 3GPP standards DIAMETER Ro and Gy. Provide full coverage of DIAMETER interface with features like load-sharing, multihoming, failover. The DIAMETER interface is extensible and can be configured to support new AVPs which are required by the Network Elements.

DevOps ready

Ready for DevOps when you are. Over the past few years, CSPs are increasingly turning to DevOps to deliver software and security on a rapid scale. OVOOcado OCS was designed and developed in DevOps environment which means that our product is following latest cloud and development trends as a combination of design for the telco-cloud, advanced automated test capabilities and support for microservices based deployment enables our products to support continuous integration and deployment. This delivers the agility that digital service providers need.

Built-in five-nine SLA

You can rely on us and concentrate on your business without any fear of data or traffic loss. OVOOcado OCS is a Carrier-grade with built-in Fault Tolerance, High Availability, and Load Balancing features. The OCS session replication architecture benefits from the Hazelcast in-memory database which provides multi-node replication with rapid data access.

BSS & OSS integration

Provisioning, Alarm, CDR subsystem for BSS and OSS integration.

The OVOOcado OCS is pre-integrated with Logstash, Elasticsearch and Kibana for data mining, operation & maintenance tasks and big data analytics,
