The rapidly emerging information and communication society affects the structures of related businesses. In particular, the rapidly growing Internet and IP-based network infrastructure requires carriers to deploy new services more efficiently with minimum cost. The operations support system (OSS) plays the central role in doing this. Hitachi's OSS solutions help carriers improve their competitive power by enabling them to quickly deploy new services at lower cost. The open platform nature of the middleware enables the integration of recently developed technologies, e.g., Hitachi's policy server, Hitachi's VPN server, and management software developed by other software vendors. Management software provided by Hewlett-Packard based on our alliance is an important component of Hitachi's OSS. The key concepts of Hitachi's OSS include "faster deployment of new services on a network infrastructure," "service level management by IP/service measurement for individual users," and "Usage- and QoS-based billing." Hitachi also fully utilizes its recent IP hardware technologies to supply solutions that integrate everything from network hardware to application software.
