The main principles of the company in its products development are Security, Reliability, Productivity. One of the leading tendencies on the Intervale’s activities is to create bank informational and payment systems (Mobile Bank System, Internet payment System) and so consequently there are special requirements for these characteristics. So the company used all its experience while developing the Platform. The Platform is ported for a number of hardware-software platforms, including HP NonStop. HP NonStop is a hardware-software architecture which was to comply with four important conditions:

  1. Availability. The platform provides minimal unavailable time in case of planned/unplanned halts/failures due to the specialized hardware platform with a complete duplication of components, and also specially developed software.
  2. Data Integrity. There is a total control over the data integrity both on the low-level control over the RAM and hard disk (using checksums) and control over the integrity of the file systems and database contents.
  3. Performance and Scalability. Unique opportunities of HP NonStop hardware architecture allow to replace or extend any hardware components, including processors, RAM, hard disks, input/output controllers, without stopping the whole system.
  4. Compatibility and Flexibility. HP NonStop provides constant compatibility of its new versions with the released versions both at hardware and software levels.

The platform works in 24x7 mode. The productivity of work is limited only by the network channel traffic with the Operator and peculiarities of work with SMSC. For all this, with the increase of SMS traffic there is no need in additional expenditure to another developer in comparison to the bought systems of such developers. Close interaction with the Operators guarantees quick solution of the channel and SMSC problems for infrastructure capability increase.

Maximum number of SMS which can be sent via link channel with the traffic capacity of 512 kb/s may be calculated approximately. SMS size is 160 symbols (bytes). Data transmission from the content providers to operator’s SMSC is performed over SMPP protocol. Considering headers and service fields of this protocol SMS length is 200 bytes so the maximum possible speed of transmission is 256 SMS/s over the channel with 512 Kbit/s traffic capacity.

Also the SMS queue to the SMSC of the Operator influences the speed of SMS transmission. All the incoming SMS from the content provider appear in the queue to SMSC. The size of this queue is usually restricted to 10-20 SMS. When overfilled, the SMSC stops to accept SMS from the content providers until the queue is empty. The speed of message processing by the operator depends on many factors and so consequently may decrease the speed of transmission.

The platform guarantees data transmission speed of 2000 SMS/s for receiving and transmitting without regard for the outer factors.
