Data Processors

Data Processors (DPs) are servers configured for DP functionality. These servers accept replicated subscriber data from the local DP SOAM and store it in a subscriber database. The DPs are used for processing queries from the Message Processor for destination address resolution. The DP receives database queries that include user identities such as MSISDN, IMSI, URI, and destination types and returns the resolved destination address FQDN and/or realm values.

Each Signaling Site can support up to 10 DP servers deployed in a single frame to scale query capacity. Two DP servers are supported currently.

Each DP server contains a copy of the same SDS data, configured in an active/active mode. The Message Processor is responsible for load-balancing requests across DP servers.

Each DP server runs on an HP C-Class blade. The DP server is configured in an active/active mode and is deployed at each Signaling Site on blades with n+m redundancy. Initially, n=1 and m=1.

A GUI is not available for DP servers. A GUI can be connected to the DP SOAM VIP address to view or query provisioning data, alarms, and measurements.
