Volantis software is included as part of the HP Services Delivery Platform (SDP), a modular, integrated framework that helps service providers streamline the creation and delivery of services for mobile, fixed and broadband networks. Using standards-based software and tools, carrier-grade hardware, and integration services, the HP SDP helps operators accelerate time-to-market by pre-integrating network elements and gateways, common platform functions and complex service creation and delivery processes. Also, by providing an application interface to the network, HP SDP enables non-telecom developers to create innovative service applications for an operator - without compromising the integrity of the network.
