This post is part of the Why Alianza series, highlighting the six key differentiators that make Alianza the leading choice for next-generation cloud communications.
Cloud architecture is becoming increasingly popular as traditional, purpose-built network technology does not meet the demanding service levels expected by today’s carriers. However, not all cloud architecture is created equal. While some more traditional telecommunication solutions often involve deploying standard hardware in a data center, hosting the same software stack, and labeling it as a “cloud”, Alianza’s fully cloud-native approach offers a depth of redundancy, allowing us to provide unparalleled levels of availability and scalability, while setting a new standard in the industry.
Carrier-grade reliability is a non-negotiable aspect of telecommunications cloud infrastructure. Being able to pick up a phone and hear a dial tone is the foundation of what end users are looking for and expect. Unlike other providers who run their data centers in a less resilient fashion, Alianza’s cloud-based system runs multiple active data centers with multiple zones in multiple regions all in parallel. This ensures that there is always a place for providers’ traffic to terminate and there’s always a dial tone at the other end. This establishes levels of redundancy from top to bottom and guarantees that if an issue occurs within one region, any connected devices would be rerouted to another active platform, often without the user even knowing they’ve been switched. Each of these zones and regions are also continually syncing so they always operate with parity.
By employing layers of redundancy and running services across multiple data centers within each region, Alianza provides safeguard after safeguard to ensure our platform is consistently available to the end user. Even in the face of a data center failure, Alianza is designed to keep running, ensuring that service providers can meet and exceed their reliability commitments. Additionally, ensuring this availability fosters innovation; when there are safeguards and redundancy, service providers have a landing zone and reliability baked into the cloud that enables them to experiment more without being worried about failure.
As the telecommunications industry changes, service providers are under pressure to evolve their services at an increasingly accelerated pace. Not only does the cloud offer massive scale at numerous levels, but Alianza has designed every single service in our next-gen platform to scale both horizontally and vertically. Alianza’s next-gen cloud architecture is at the forefront of the telecommunications industry, offering unmatched levels of availability and scalability. This innovative approach ensures that service providers can meet the rigorous demands of today’s carriers, setting a new benchmark for reliability and flexibility for the industry.
