IntegRate was a Software product written in C++ based on a pipe-lined high performance architecture for handling batch rating of telecommunications Call Data Records (CDR), developed by the German software company "Solution 42". The product represented one of the first Massively parallel (computing) applications in it area. It allowed to process and charge thousands of events per second on commodity hardware in parallel in a multi core and multi computer environment. The software was able to run on the following operating systems: Windows, Unix/Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX. It contained highly optimized algorithms for ultra-fast Regular expression matching using an Finite-state machine as well as one of the first self-developed in-memory databases (IMDB). The IntegRate platform is known as a conceptual structure for performing the complex task of Telco rating and price modeling. The "Framework" contains "Pipelines", each of which consists of "Plug-ins", which can be freely combined to perform the task at hand. The standard plug-ins cover a wide range of rating tasks (e.g. zoning, service determination) and the overall rating process can be customized by using the IntegRate script languages "iScript" and "iRule". This open architecture allows to configure the plug-in modules to prepare or post-process CDR-information. Solution42 (a name taken from Douglas Adams's "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" cult series), originally based in Quickborn, Germany, was purchased by Portal Software in 2000.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2000/11/04/business/company-news-portal-software-in-deal-to-acquire-solution-42.html〕 Since the purchase of Solution42, the IntegRate architecture has been integrated into the so-called "Portal Infranet〔http://www.softscout.com/software/Accounting-and-Finance/Bill-and-Invoice-Generation/Infranet.html〕" telecommications billing platform, now being called the BRE (Batch Rating Engine). A few years later in 2006 Oracle acquired Portal Software,〔http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/Acquisitions/portalsoftware/index.html〕 as a leading global provider of billing and revenue management solutions for the communications and media industry. As such IntegRate (thus renamed) became the central rating and mediation engine with Oracle's CBRM System.〔http://www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/communications/billing-revenue-management/overview/index.html〕 In 2003 the core engineers and lead architects of former Solution42 founded ENTEREST〔http://www.enterest.eu/〕 to build the successor product "EDR Workbench" - a usage data management solution for Complex Event Processing in the Big Data domain. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「InteGrate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
