Many communications service providers have started to think about network function virtualization (NFV) and virtualizing BSS stack. Convergent charging is a particularly powerful starting point for that NFV journey and by virtualizing charging, communications service providers can significantly benefit – operational ease, cost reduction and quicker innovation are just a few benefits.
A new whitepaper by Amdocs is looking into virtualizing the charging system, specifically focusing on the real-time aspects of charging, which are harder to virtualize due to the required performance goals.
