IBM WebSphere® IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector accelerates the development and deployment of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) compliant applications:
Extends the WebSphere Application Server platform for operation in an IMS architecture - delivering a fully IMS-compliant SIP application server platform
Speeds connection to the Call/Session Control Function (CSCF) in the IMS control plane with pre-built IMS Session Control (ISC) interfaces
Extends the WebSphere Application Server platform for operation in an IMS architecture by adding support for the Diameter protocol
Enables efficient implementation of secure communications with IMS-based subscriber profile management with pre-built Sh interfaces to Home Subscriber Server (HSS)
Enables off-line charging models with pre-built Rf interface to IMS Charging Collection Function (CCF)
Enables on-line charging models with pre-built Ro interface to IMS On-Line Charging Function
Reduces application programming complexity with flexible, Web services-based access for Diameter interactions
Security is enhanced with the introduction of the IMS Security Trust Association Interceptor (TAI). The TAI provides an efficient mechanism to take advantage of the authentications performed at the boundaries of the SIP and HTTP networks.
Supports WebSphere 6.1 statistical information management through the Netcool /SSM 4.0 SNMP agent and subagent.
