Clearwater IMS Core

Clearwater Core is Metaswitch’s implementation of IMS built exclusively using web development methods to provide voice, video and messaging services to millions of users or IoT endpoints. Architected from the ground up for massively scalable deployments within virtualized public, private or hybrid elastic compute clouds, Clearwater Core combines the economics of over-the-top (OTT) style service platforms with the standards compliance and reliability expected of telco-grade network solutions.

The web services-oriented design, along with the component-centric micro services philosophies adopted when architecting Clearwater Core, makes it ideal for instantiation within either hardware VM-based hypervisor infrastructures or emerging OS container-based (Docker) environments with (Swarm or Kubernetes) Cluster management.
