Amdahl Introduces Nationwide Calling Name Delivery Service for the Amdahl INSPIRE Platform.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1998-- -- New opportunity for carrier differentiation and service profitability. -- The first system with the scaleability and performance to support a nationwide database. The Intelligent Network Systems Group of Amdahl Corporation (company) Amdahl Corporation - A US computer manufacturer. Amdahl is a major supplier of large mainframes, UNIX and Open Systems software and servers, data storage subsystems, data communications products, applications development software, and a variety of educational and , a Fujitsu company, today announced the availability of Nationwide Calling Name Delivery Service (N-CNAM) for the Amdahl INSPIRE(tm) offering. The Amdahl INSPIRE N-CNAM solution offers wireline and wireless carriers a new alternative for greater service differentiation and improved service profitability. Amdahl INSPIRE is a robust, open, highly scaleable platform built from network-deployed, proven components. It is based upon Sun SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill (R) servers, Sun's Solaris(tm) operating environment In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. , an object DBMS, Signalware(tm) technology from DGM&S Telecom, and Amdahl-developed applications. "With Amdahl's N-CNAM solution, a carrier can differentiate its service by delivering names of both subscribers and non-subscribers while eliminating the cost of remote database query and transport," said Rick Carter, vice president and general manager, Intelligent Network Systems Group, Amdahl Corporation. "This can increase the value of the service to the user and dramatically improve the profitability of the service to the carrier." In traditional implementations of CNAM (Calling NAMe) An IN (Intelligent Network) service that displays the caller's name on the calling party's digital readout. This is similar to caller ID except that the calling party's name is displayed along with the calling number or instead of the calling number. See caller ID. , carriers who want to deliver the names of calling parties not in their subscriber database are forced to pay remote database query and transport charges for delivery of these names. Depending on the number of these remote queries, the carrier's service profitability can be severely reduced. The Amdahl INSPIRE N-CNAM solution provides a cost-effective alternative for these carriers. This is yet another example of the Amdahl tradition of bringing robust enterprise-class technology solutions and services to its customers. Amdahl continues to raise the bar by providing products and services that help customers gain a competitive advantage in their industries. As an end-to-end systems integrator, Amdahl provides a single point of contact for support and service for all components of the Amdahl INSPIRE solution. Amdahl also provides a suite of services ranging from business planning, to implementation planning, to operations support integration, to service deployment and operations.
