Modernize Critical Telecom Infrastructure While Keeping Your Network, Billing & Operations Running Unchanged at Lower Costs & Zero Downtime.
Improvement in efficiency
*Based on real customer deployment
Legacy systems are the outdated infrastructure that has been running critical operations for decades. Built on legacy platforms like IBM mainframes, Sun Solaris, and proprietary UNIX systems. They were once the foundation of telecom excellence, but have become today’s operational burden.
These legacy systems are built on outdated technologies. It makes integrating with modern technologies nearly impossible.
HP PA-RISC and SPARC processors have aged significantly and are more susceptible to cyberattacks as they lack modern security measures.
Legacy systems have limited scalability. They are unable to handle exponential data growth from 5G, IoT, and streaming services that modern networks demand.
Maintaining aging infrastructure consumes more than 50% of IT budgets, leaving a few resources for innovation (5G, IoT) and growth.
Aging legacy infrastructure is prone to hardware failure. The operational disruption can bring communication to a halt impacting ROI and causing poor customer experience.
Legacy systems cannot meet evolving telecommunications requirements, endangering customer data, resulting in non-compliance.
The numbers tell a compelling story about the risks and true costs of legacy systems in the telecom industry:
Server downtime costs $301K-$400K per hour. It makes legacy outages a critical revenue loss. (Trilio)
A telecom outage in 2022 resulted in 12 million customers without internet and phone services for nearly 24 hours. It was later traced back to an outdated core infrastructure failure. (Litcom)
Telecom operators face five outages annually, with over 60% costing $100K and 16% exceeding $1M in losses. (VC4)
Telecom providers still operate on PA-RISC hardware, SPARC processors, IBM mainframes, and Tandem NonStop for their network management and transaction processes. Stromasys offers legacy modernization solutions for telecom providers without any changes. The Charon solution emulates these legacy systems on a modern platform (x86 servers, or cloud environments like AWS, Azure, VMWare, OCI, or Google Clouds). It uses the lift-and-shift migration approach to move critical applications to modern servers without disruptions.
Eliminates any hardware failure risks by moving to a modern platform and delivers higher performance, better reliability, improved scalability, and cuts down on operational costs.
Charon helps in preserving call flows, securing customer information, and routing with secure backup without disruptions and expensive rewrites or recertification.
Legacy systems do not support modern technologies. Moving to modern hosts allows for the integration of 5G, IoT, edge strategies, or AI/ML and analytics using APIs and middleware.
It eliminates ongoing maintenance costs by removing outdated hardware. It minimizes power consumption and optimizes resource management.
