HOD HASHARON, Israel,
October 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Allot Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: ALLT), a leading global
supplier of service optimization and revenue generation solutions
for fixed and mobile broadband operators and cloud providers,
announced today the demonstration of a virtual Traffic Detection
Function (vTDF) as part of a virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC)
network to enable application-centric plans and advanced services.
This live proof of concept (PoC) will be demonstrated October 6-8 at SDN & NFV USA 2014 in Dallas,
TX.
Allot's vTDF provides all of the capabilities provided today by
the physical TDF including traffic detection, analytics, policy
enforcement and charging. In addition, the vTDF offers cost
savings, reduced time to market for new and complex services and
deployment flexibility advantages. The vTDF can be deployed
anywhere in the network, from the RAN to the core network, to
facilitate application-centric use cases and services.
The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) NFV
ISG (Industry Specification Group) works on Virtual Network
Functions Architecture standard. Allot is one of the key leaders of
this work. This document defines TDF as a virtualized network
function (VNF). The vTDF solution is comprised of Allot's virtual
Element Management System (vEMS), the Allot VNF Manager and Allot's
Virtual Network Function Components (VNFCs), the key one being
Allot's virtual Service Gateway (vSG). The vTDF VNFCs, which are
managed by Allot's VNF Manager, scale based on service needs and
network conditions and support high availability.
"Service providers are looking at NFV technologies to reduce
cost, achieve greater scale and flexibility and evolve network
services to meet customer demands," said Jay Klein, CTO at Allot Communications.
"With Allot's vTDF solution, service providers can build a
virtualized, responsive and standard-based policy control and
charging framework for rolling out new and enhanced services faster
and more cost-effectively."
Allot will be showcasing the vTDF solution at the SDN & NFV
Dallas, USA booth #8 and the SDN & OpenFlow World Congress,
Germany booth #61.
