1 Xantaro Application Integration Value Added & Central Services

2 Xantaro Value Added & Central Services The telecommunications industry is evolving rapidly to embrace innovative new applications and services, presenting telcos, service providers and mobile operators with a chance to expand revenue streams. Rather than doing one thing well, providers must expand their portfolios to extract maximum value from their business customers and optimise returns by adding extra services on top of underlying connectivity packages. Telecommunications companies, service providers and mobile operators alike must also embrace emerging IP based voice, data, video, messaging, collaboration and mobile technologies if they are to effectively compete with rivals - both incumbents and over the top (OTT) players which have already proved more agile in identifying and exploiting innovative applications and services. The move from circuit-switched, time division multiplex (TDM) networks to an IP orientated architecture needs careful design and planning. Xantaro works with leading vendors to provide expertise in specific technology platforms to support integrated IP voice, video, messaging and collaboration applications. A sample of Xantaro Value Added & Central Services delivered to customers: Managed Carrier Service Data Storage Cloud DNS Platform High Performance Compute Cluster VMWare Cluster Mobile Edge Compute Cloud Xantaro Monitoring Platform Xantaro IOT Cloud Xantaro Managed Carrier Service (XMCS) A customer from the city network carrier operates its own fiber optic network. Authentication and billing systems were required to connect end users. Another customer from the city network carrier operates its own fiber optic network. Telephony, authentication and management systems were required to connect end users. AAA / Radius Server Billing & CRM system with connected customer portal Customised FritzBox workflows for Almost-ZeroTouch (only a PIN) Xantaro developed, installed and hosted the entire environment as a private cloud service.

4 Xantaro High Performance Compute Cluster (XHPCC) A customer in the field of research & education operates an HPC cluster for the calculation of new materials. 128 Highscore / High Memory Compute Nodes 3 Head / Login Master Nodes 4 Fileserver, about 40TB Online Storage Xantaro operates and maintains the complete cluster; Optimisations for the special calculation programs are carried out, new versions from source are compiled and imported. CentOS Linux, various OpenSource tools, customer-specific software Xantaro High Performance VMWare Cluster (XHPVMC) A Cable Carrier customer needed a high-performance VMWare cluster for Microsoft applications. A customer in the area of research and teaching needed computing capacity in the international data centers. Integration of HP blade systems and use of Nexus 1000V Connection to Netapp Filer systems Operation on x * 10Gb Links via Nexus 5k FCoE switches VMs with up to 128GB RAM requirements and lowest latencies Xantaro developed the design, including the migration path, and provided training for decision-makers and implementing technicians. VMWare, Nexus 1000V, Netapp Filer Robust design for high utilisation of the resources Server and storage VMotion across the sites Possibilities of implementing an SDN overlay network Low latency connection, high backup availability, redundancy over data centres (VSRM) Xantaro developed the design and built the infrastructure at the customer and supervised the introduction of the platform into the daily operation. VMWare + VEEM, VSRM, Dell Server

5 Xantaro Mobile Edge Computing Cloud (XMECC) A customer from the Mobile Carrier area required computing capacities at the edge of his mobile network. Future-oriented design for an Evolved Packet Core Low-latency connection to radiostations Special requirements regarding depth and environment Xantaro developed the design and built the hardware in the testlab of the carrier. Currently, virtualised network elements (eg vepc) are qualified by the customer in order to plan a nationwide installation. VMWare + VSAN, Arista network switches, HP server Xantaro Monitoring Platform (XMON) A customer from the Mobile Carrier sector was looking for a monitoring solution for its Business CPE products.
