The OpenCloud Rhino product suite comprises:
- Rhino Telecom Application Server™
- Rhino Service Interaction Server™
- Rhino Sentinel™
- Rhino Visual Service Architect - and related developer tools
Rhino Telecom Application Server™
OpenCloud Rhino Telecom Application Server™ is the world-leading carrier-grade Telecom Application Server (TAS) for cost-effective, agile delivery of Java-based telecommunications services. Rhino Telecoms Application Server complies with the Java standard – JAIN SLEE (JSLEE) – for network and protocol-independent application servers to provide an asynchronous container for communication applications. The Rhino TAS is the foundation product in the OpenCloud Rhino suite. [more]
Rhino Service Interaction Server™
Rhino Service Interaction Server™ is a fully Convergent Telecom Service Broker. Rhino SIS provides service composition and interaction capabilities for SS7 and IP networks. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to allow new telecoms services to be created by combining them together and inserting additional logic. [more]
Rhino Sentinel™
Rhino Sentinel™ provides telecoms call and session control on the carrier-grade Rhino platform. It provides “in call” session control in cooperation with an Online Charging System (OCS). This involves authorising the session set-up, metering the session and if necessary, playing announcements and terminating the session when the credit expires.
Rhino Sentinel™ allows a single real-time rating and billing system to be used as the OCS, regardless of whether the subscribers are charged in a pre or post-paid manner. [more]
Rhino Visual Service Architect and other tools
The OpenCloud Rhino suite of platforms are all based on the powerful and flexible JAIN SLEE standard. To support independent development of applications and services on these platforms, OpenCloud provides an array of information and tools for developers.
Rhino Visual Service Architect (VSA) enables developers to create and modify services visually - providing a simply and intuitive view of the whole application without needing to read thousands of lines of code - helping developers work more productively and with fewer errors. [more]
JSLEE summary
The JSLEE standard was originally conceived to meet the specific and exacting needs of an application server operating in the service layer of telecommunication networks. The network service layer has extreme transaction processing requirements in terms of latency, throughput, availability and management, commonly referred to as carrier-grade requirements.
JSLEE specifies an asynchronous run-time environment which allows telecommunication systems to be modelled as Finite State Machines (FSM) connecting to a number of external systems by asynchronous signalling protocols.
