System Design for Telecommunication Gateways provides athorough review of designing telecommunication network equipmentbased on the latest hardware designs and software methods availableon the market. Focusing on high-end efficient designs thatchallenge all aspects of the system architecture, this book helpsreaders to understand a broader view of the system design, analyzeall its most critical components, and select the parts that bestfit a particular application. In many cases new technology trends,potential future developments, system flexibility and capabilityextensions are outlined in preparation for the longevity typicalfor products in the industry.
Key features:
* Combines software and hardware aspects of the systemdesign.
* Defines components and services supported by open-source andcommercial basic and extended software platforms, includingoperating systems, middleware, security, routing, management layerand more.
* Focuses on disruptive technologies.
* Provides guidelines for developing software architectures basedon multi-threaded, multi-process, multi-instance, multi-core,multi-chip, multi-blade and multi-chassis designs.
* Covers a number of advanced high-speed interconnect and fabricinterface technologies and their commercial implementations.
* Presents different system form factors from compact pizza-boxstyles to medium and large bladed systems, including IBMBladeCenter, ATCA and microTCA-based chassis. Describes differentmezzanine cards, such as PMC, PrPMC, XMC, AMC and others.

Über Autor(innen)

ALEX BACHMUTSKY has broad experience of almost 30 years in various areas of software development, software, hardware and system architecture, technology selection and evaluation, including wireless infrastructure, security, packet processing technologies, pattern recognition, networking, high availability and multimedia. At Nokia and later at Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), Alex has been a Chief Architect for state-of-the-art high performance telecommunication gateways, from multi-chassis and multi-blade systems to pizza-box type devices integrating the latest available packet processing and system architectures. As a part of the Research and Technology Platform organization at NSN, he is continuously scouting for the newest and most promising hardware and software technologies, while actively influencing the next generation development of components and sub-systems in the area of high performance and highly scalable carrier grade data and control plane processing. The knowledge collected during this technology intelligence and evaluation work, together with extensive system design experience, became a foundation for this book.
