What is TGDS?
The TGDS is a platform based on HP NonStopTM Server, for
the provision of value-added services on mobile and wireline
networks, through the use of standard protocols:
SIGTRAN/SS7, M3UA, DIAMETER, SIP and IP in general.
It is developed and engineered in TIM, Milan, Italy

It plays a set of application capabilities that support

various services and business processes.

TGDS is built on NonStop
™
The TGDS is based on the
reliability of hardware and
software of HPE NonStop
™
servers, that ensure fault
tolerance and which allows to
reach high levels of business
continuity, proven over time and
recognized as a prerequisite for
the delivery of mission-critical
services, with high added value.
