RapidFLEX™ Application Server
The RapidFLEX Application Server represents an entirely new approach to deploying enhanced services in converged TDM/IP and VoIP networks. Its open architecture and use of next-generation network standards-including SIP, VoiceXML, MGCP, and XML-provide a multi-service platform with tremendous flexibility and scalability. Instead of costly circuit-switched, single-application platforms, carriers can deliver multiple SIP-based services starting with a single RapidFLEX Application Server-and then rapidly add or modify services as needed, with no service interruption.

RapidFLEX Application Server advantages include:

High Capacity, Carrier-Ready — Handles up to 4,000 concurrent call sessions on a single server, or scales to extremely large capacities by configuring multiple RapidFLEX Application Servers.

Flexible IP Integration with SIP — Enabled media gateways, IP phones and SIP user agents, and control IP media servers using SIP/VoiceXML or MGCP protocols.

Distributed Call Processing and Load Balancing — Allows distribution of call processing across many Application Servers in a high-availability cluster, co-located or across an IP network. For load balancing, an integrated SIP proxy server directs calls to the least busy Application Server in the cluster-enabling a single service access point to scale up to well over 50,000 simultaneous calls.

High Availability — The RapidFLEX Application Server can be configured in an N+1 configuration within a cluster, enabling failover to a hot standby. It will also recover from critical software failures that could lead to a component-level failover event.

Extensible, Plug-in Architecture — New application features are easily enabled using the Pactolus Software Development Kit (SDK) that defines a lightweight, software component framework for "plugging in" new software modules.

Centralized System Management — Service providers can monitor and manage their RapidFLEX Application Servers and their associated media servers using the RapidFLEX System Management Console.

Web-based Applications Configuration — The RapidFLEX Applications Configuration Environment (ACE) enables service providers to provision service offerings via the Web.
