Real-time
Telecom Application Server

At the heart of the Rhino platform is the real-time Telecom Application Server (TAS) which is designed and optimised for event driven (i.e. asynchronous) communications applications. The Rhino real-time TAS (also commonly referred to as a JSLEE Container) is a standards compliant platform that supports, manages and executes portable, carrier grade telecommunication services.

The Rhino Application Server is compliant with the JAIN SLEE 1.1 standard and implements all features of the JAIN SLEE 1.1 specification (including those features listed as optional). Rhino has been designed from first principles to support the requirements of the most demanding carrier grade solutions, regardless of the underlying network protocols.

Just as J2EE provides a run-time container with capabilities suited to enterprise applications, so JSLEE provides a run-time environment explicitly designed to meet the exacting needs of telecoms applications.

The Rhino Platform

Product Overview Elements of the Rhino Core Platform
  • Services – Java-based JSLEE services are deployed in the Rhino Application Server
  • Rhino JAIN SLEE Service Runtime Environment – A low-latency, high throughput execution environment for event and session-based services. Rhino provides an in-memory database for low-latency read/write access to data.
  • Rhino Service Interaction Layer – A service composition and interaction environment for building new and variant services from existing services using a graphical user interface (GUI).
  • Resource Adapter Architecture – An extensible plug-in architecture that provides for multiple network, protocol and enterprise technologies to be "plugged into" the platform.
  • Savanna Carrier-grade framework – this provides the “5 x 9”s capability of the platform, including service and platform fail-over, on-line upgrade, scalability and availability by clustering, distributed memory management, lock management etc.
  • Operations & Management Interfaces – Easily integrates the platform into an operators OSS environment.

Supports IP and SS7 network protocols

Unlike many other technologies, OpenCloud Rhino provides an “in-call” application server environment for both SS7 and SIP-based networks.
