For those of you who were not on Mike Hanson’s Harris Co. review a question came up on the physical configuration of the OSS-RC.

The current configuration is based on Sun platforms:

SunFire X4170M2

SunFire X4270M2

Sun Enterprise M3000

Storage Tech SL24 Tape Autoloader

Extreme Switch (not sure of the model number)

There are multiple of the above servers in a 7’ frame/rack. The number of servers are determined by E// based on system capacity.

In the fall, the OSS-RC will be hosted on an HP C7000 blade server running Sun Solaris.  This platform also includes an EMC 120 CLARiiON Disk Array.

Finally, in the current LTE configurator the price of the OSS-RC is $536,400.00 and is based on the Sun platforms and supports up to 16,000 eNBs. Trying to find out what the physical configuration is, but, no luck yet. I have been told that we are very near to having the BOM entered into COF for ordering.  This should be complete for LTE products in April.
