13 The Analyst View the technology and the market Gartner March 2006 Gartner expects their (EDAS) adoption will grow during the next five years as demand for high-performance software platforms supporting "extreme" requirements for performance, scalability and availability manifests in industry sectors, such as financial services, telecommunications, defense, retail, transportation, e- commerce and online gambling. ABI Research August 2006 Over the next five years, mobile network operators will invest $4 billion in SDP (service delivery platform). The result proves reduction of operating expenses and new revenue from offering IP-based services. This is a time of change for telecom networks as they shift towards SOA (service-oriented architecture) while applying IT systems on open standards. This brings with it all the advantages of a vast range of new data services, beginning with click-to-dial but rapidly moving to rich voice sessions, all under the control of next generation service delivery platforms Copyright Open Cloud

14 What is a 'SLEE' Service Logic Execution Environment it is not a new idea at all software and/or libraries that provide behaviour common to all services E.g. generating traces and alarms, managing resources, generating usage statistics etc. Common behaviour is not re-developed for each and every service 'Systems level' not the 'service level' Advantages of using a SLEE Services can be developed quickly by extending/using the 'common core' Services are more robust because the common core is already extensively tested and deployed Good idea but... existing SLEEs have been proprietary and incompatible with other SLEEs (and often the SLEE is 'invisible') Services and features are not portable between SLEEs Services and features in different SLEEs cannot interact because the SLEEs do not support interoperability There have been no applicable standards in place Copyright Open Cloud 14

15 JAIN SLEE The Church (Religion) Copyright Open Cloud 15

16 JAIN SLEE Services Service Runtime Facilities Integration Architecture JAIN Service Logic Execution Environment External Systems & Applications s Only SLEE Standard. Defines the requirements of a Java SLEE 'server' Contract between services and the SLEE and how services are built Facilities services need How the SLEE can be extended and how the SLEE and services may be managed Aim: Portable Services, Independence, Extensible Platform Aim: Many SLEE vendors, many service vendors Copyright Open Cloud 16

17 Why JAIN SLEE is Useful Industry standard Specified via the JCP, allowing multiple companies and individuals to collaborate in developing the technology Standards have the potential to attract more developers than proprietary environments Application developer not tied to any particular JAIN SLEE implementation Independence Programming model independent of any particular network protocol, API, or network topology Multiple network technologies can be integrated with JAIN SLEE Services future-proofed as they may evolve as the underlying network technology evolves Converged Services Services combining multiple network technologies Offer significant revenue growth opportunities Improved revenue yield through tighter relationship between call processing and OSS/BSS functions Copyright Open Cloud 17

18 Why JAIN SLEE is Useful Global Services Global service providers typically have multiple disparate proprietary service platforms JAIN SLEE compliant products can be used as a single platform across disparate networks thereby supporting cost-effective global services Robust JAIN SLEE programming model eliminates many common programming errors Strong data typing SLEE manages 'call' or 'session' related state used by the application Reliable JAIN SLEE enforces a transactional programming model Well-defined failure model Integrated with both synchronous and asynchoronous application invocations Standard Object-Oriented Component Architecture Application logic structured as a collection of reusable object-oriented components Components can be composed into higher level, richer services Defined contract between components and component container Copyright Open Cloud 18

19 Why JAIN SLEE is Useful Simple Application Development JAIN SLEE implementation responsible for system level features State replication Checkpointing Process restarts Transaction management Clustering infrastructure Application developer free from requiring understanding of: Low-level transaction and state management details Multi-threading Connection pooling Other low-level APIs Application developer responsible for application logic only Asynchronous event processing Synchronous invocations from other service components Reduced complexity, simpler to develop, less development time, increased reliability Copyright Open Cloud 19

20 Why JAIN SLEE is Useful Supports Write Once, Run Anywhere Philosophy of the Java programming language JAIN SLEE application components can be developed once then deployed in multiple platforms or SLEE implementations without recompilation or source code modification Supports complex applications JAIN SLEE applications can Have state Be composed from other components Create and remove other application components Invoke other application components both synchronously and asynchronously Interact with network elements via resource adaptors Supports integration with existing management systems JAIN SLEE management API allows a SLEE implementation to be controlled by an external management system Deployment and management of services Management of provisioned (subscriber, operator, service, etc) data Management of the SLEE implementation itself Copyright Open Cloud 20
