Design Characteristics Fulfillment Provisioning provides reliable, high-throughput provisioning and activation while supporting the widest possible range of service management applications and underlying service elements. This design is driven by the fact that as networks continue to converge and the drivers for service creation grow, fast deployment of new services provides a critical, competitive advantage. The characteristics that support rapid deployment of new services include the following: • Effective connectivity to service applications and network elements based on the Kabira Adapter Factory and Kabira Infrastructure Server interfacing capabilities. • Extensive configurability that minimizes the need for custom development. • Rapid development with the Kabira Infrastructure Server when custom development is required. • Graphical specifications based on industry standards for provisioning and activation processes. • Optimized response time and throughput based on a multi-threaded optimized implementation. • Linear scaling across processors provided by the Fulfillment Provisioning Infrastructure Server (Fulfillment Provisioning software platform). • Web-enabled GUI that is extended and fully supported by the Fulfillment Provisioning Infrastructure Server (Fulfillment Provisioning software platform).
