Primary Provisioning Site

The Primary Provisioning Site is used for SDS OAM. All provisioning is done using a Web GUI or from the customer provisioning system, using a SOAP and/or XML interface.

The Primary Provisioning Site uses three rack mount servers:

• Active SDS server
• Standby SDS server
• Query server

Each server has the identical software but a different role. Only the SDS server runs the XML Data Server (XDS) and SOAP server applications. These applications run within the same process referred to as XDS.
