Project Clearwater – Overview Massively scalable SIP-based call control designed for cloud Developed on Amazon EC2 Deployed on OpenStack, VMware etc. Incubated by Metaswitch since early 2012 Released as open source in May 2013 http://projectclearwater.org Designed to meet needs of both telcos and OTT service providers Telcos: looks like a standard IMS core OTT: standalone SIP call control solution METASWITCH NETWORKS | PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL | METASWITCH.COM | © 2013 | SLIDE 2
- 3. What's Different about Project Clearwater Uses lots of open source components SIP stack – PJSIP State storage – Cassandra, memcached Processing elements do not store long-lived state They are SIP transaction-stateful but not dialog-stateful Long-lived state is stored in separate software elements Scale-out architecture with DNS-based load balancing Zero bottlenecks Scales out essentially without limits (tested to 10M users) Highly attractive economics of operation Less than 2c per subscriber per year for compute + bandwidth METASWITCH NETWORKS | PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL | METASWITCH.COM | © 2013 | SLIDE 3
