Systems and methods of provisioning data storage and runtime configuration in telecommunications systems and devices

Abstract

Systems and methods of provisioning data storage and runtime configuration in telecommunications systems and devices. The systems and methods employ at least one decentralized revision control system as a data repository for storing data, such as configuration data, and at least one data provisioning component as an interface for accessing the configuration data stored in the data repository. By employing the decentralized revision control system in conjunction with the data provisioning component, the systems and methods can provide a data storage and runtime configuration provisioning framework that is data agnostic, application agnostic, and user agnostic, while further providing at least the capability of tracking and maintaining the version history of the configuration data.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicableSTATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not applicableFIELD OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present application relates generally to telecommunications systems and devices, and more specifically to systems and methods of provisioning data storage and runtime configuration in telecommunications systems and devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]Telecommunications systems and devices, such as access systems, network management systems, media switching centers, cross-connects, session border controllers, etc., can be adapted via configuration data to provide specific functionality for a target application. Based on such configuration data, control software within the telecommunications systems and devices can control the respective systems and devices to satisfy the requirements of the target application. For example, such configuration data can be specified for a session border controller to satisfy th...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent application describes improved systems and methods for storing and configuring data in telecommunication systems and devices. The systems use a decentralized revision control system as a data repository and a data provisioning component for accessing the data. This approach provides a data storage and configuration system that is data-agnostic, application-agnostic, and user-agnostic. The system also allows for tracking and maintaining the version history of the data. The use of peer systems with a predetermined version control communication protocol ensures synchronization of any changes to data objects, reducing the risk of data loss in case of failure.

Problems solved by technology

However, prior attempts to provide such functionality in telecommunications systems and devices have generally not been suited for use in real-time applications that require fast, dynamic access to configuration data.
