Allot - Solutions for Carriers
Carriers
Today, applications such as VoIP, interactive gaming, streaming video news and entertainment are changing the nature of broadband services, forcing carriers and service providers to move from marketing broadband simply as a faster Internet connection to promoting broadband as the key enabler of value added services, applications, content and the digital home. As broadband moves into this second phase of market development, carriers and service providers face unprecedented challenges in managing network efficiency as they seek to deploy value added service (VAS) offerings based on Internet applications and content using their infrastructure.
DPI has a vital role to play in next-generation broadband networks, and Allot is paving the way with a carrier-grade solution that overcomes the barriers of performance, reliability, application awareness and subscriber awareness that have made it difficult for service providers to control capital and operating costs. Intelligently and efficiently managing traffic and reducing the cost and complexity of service deployment, these Allot solutions offer a new direction for DPI as an enabler of value added services in broadband networks. They combine a powerful DPI engine with an array of services, producing a fully integrated, carrier-class platform capable of identifying the traffic flows of individual subscribers and direct them to the value added services to which they have s
bscribed.
All Allot solutions are based on cutting-edge Layer-7 Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology. Looking deep into each and every packet and into packet flows traversing the network to identify and prioritize applications according to defined policies, they offering carriers with the unique combination of the following:
- Scalable Performance up to 25 Gbps to deploy the appropriate capacity and throughput required for the network.
- Network Visibility to gain the visibility to identify applications and which users are using them.
- Application Control to control and prioritize applications such as P2P in line with subscriber behavior and trends, thereby optimizing network resources and investments.
- Subscriber Management to customize services to meet specific customer needs and thereby generate more revenues through the provision of tailored, differentiated services.
- Network Protection to protect the network from connection-based attacks such as DoS, DDoS and spam through policy-based, real-time traffic behavior monitoring.
- Centralized Management to manage the entire network using a single GUI application from a central site.
