Telecom

The Telecom sector traditionally has done significant investments in IT infrastructures. Similar to other compute intensive environments, grid solutions may help improve IT efficiency. Potential areas include customer care and billing, clearing and settlement and fraud detection.

However, compute resources form only a fraction of a Telecom's overall assets; the majority is formed by the investments in network capacity. Likewise, Telecom operators continuously search for ways to optimise the return on these assets.

Engage is currently investigating with several Telecom Operators how grid can be explored for the measurement, management and optimisation of network capacity by controlling active network components such as switches and multiplexers.
