Allot Service Gateway
Leveraging DPI to Meet Next-Generation Service Needs
The Service Gateway approach combines Allot's powerful DPI engine with an array of services into a fully integrated, carrier-class platform. Within the Service Gateway, the application and subscriber information for each traffic flow is identified by a single DPI process that can then dispatch the flow to an array of additional services and actions.
These actions include Quality of Service (QoS), reporting, monitoring and enabling of other applications such as filtering (including parental control), blocking security threats (Clean Line and Denial of Service prevention), and collecting records for real-time charging or offline usage-based charging.
This approach greatly reduces the complexity and cost of new service deployment and increases operational efficiency in a number of ways:
Enables the deployment of a single multi-purpose platform versus multiple, single purpose appliances
Manages all services by the same policy control rules and the same management applications
Reduces the number of packets handled by each application to a minimum through the single DPI process leveraged by all services in the platform
The Allot Service Gateway Omega Series also leverages Allot's powerful NetXplorer centralized management software and is fully integrated with the Allot Subscriber Management Platform.
