Availability
Access services in continuous use by the operator’s subscribers.
ORANGE · CÔTE D’IVOIRE
AVISO: the internet platform,
open source and operated by Synelia.
ADSL, fibre and hotspot subscriber authentication, email, web hosting: Orange Côte d’Ivoire’s internet services platform, built entirely from open-source components and run day to day by our teams.
THE CONTEXT
Critical internet services, with no vendor lock-in.
Every internet subscriber connection goes through authentication; every message, through the email service. These services must run continuously, absorb subscriber growth and remain under the operator’s control.
Synelia designed and deployed the AVISO platform using open-source components only, then took over its operations: monitoring, maintenance, security, enhancements and server modernisation.
THE CHALLENGES
Three objectives
to deliver together.
Control
No vendor licences: open, documented, replaceable components.
Operability
Monitor, log, back up and evolve without interruption.
OUR RESPONSE
What we
built.
Subscriber authentication
Radius for ADSL, fibre and hotspot, on a replicated database behind load balancers.
Messaging
Receiving, sending and reading subscribers’ messages.
Web hosting
Websites and portals hosted on the platform.
Monitoring
Centreon: distributed pollers, reporting and service mapping.
Centralised logs
Log collection, indexing and search, for fast diagnosis.
Backup & automation
Scheduled, verified backups; automated deployments and configurations.
