VM types

A TAS Storage Node (TSN) is a VM that runs two Cassandra databases and provides these databases' services to the other node types in a Rhino VoLTE TAS deployment. TSNs run in a cluster with between 3 and 30 nodes per cluster depending on deployment size; load-balancing is performed automatically.

A Mobile Control Point (MCP) node is a VM that runs the Rhino MCP application. It is an application server that streamlines integration between the mobile network and Microsoft Teams, delivering optimized voice quality and network reliability to Teams communications. The MCP node queries Microsoft Teams to determine whether a given call involves a subscriber, and if it does it updates the call signaling to instruct the core network to route the call to the Microsoft Phone System. The MCP node optionally includes Forced Routing functionality too, which allows the operator to route calls to other third party services by modifying the call signaling without involving Microsoft Teams. MCP nodes run in a 3 node cluster.
