Network Architectures
IP media servers provide a common, shared IP media processing resource for many real-time voice, video, fax, and speech applications residing on softswitch or application server elements in a next-generation VoIP network.
Service Oriented Architecture is an evolution of distributed computing and modular programming for enterprise business systems allowing applications to be constructed as software services. These services are relatively small, independent units of functionality that when assembled together form applications.
Service Delivery Platforms (SDPs) are a new category of telecommunications infrastructure that enables rapid development and deployment of new converged multimedia services, from basic telephony services to complex audio- and videoconferencing.
The 3G Partnership Project (3GPP) has defined the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for supporting converged multimedia services. Convedia Media Servers deliver the Multimedia Resource Function (MRF) component of the IMS architecture.
