Messages are also synchronized between the local message storage in the user's device and messages stored in the PMC. PMC leverages the carrier authentication process to ensure security and also functions across all infrastructures, including Wi-Fi, IMS and non-IMS.
PMC is based on a cloud application platform with a large-scale intelligent storage solution designed to accommodate millions of subscribers. The platform allows servers to be added, removed, updated and brought online without any service disruption. PMC can also be used to replicate data across geographic sites for disaster recovery.
