HOD HASHARON, Israel,
Oct. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Allot
Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: ALLT), a leading global provider
of intelligent broadband solutions that empower communication
service providers to optimize and monetize their networks,
enterprises to enhance productivity and consumers to improve their
digital lifestyle, announced today the Allot Service
Gateway-Virtual Edition and its portfolio of pre-integrated
services. Together, they comprise a complete Allot Virtual Network
Function (VNF) solution underpinning the company's network
functions virtualization (NFV) strategy aimed at easing service
deployment and accelerating time-to-revenue for service providers.
To that end, a Tolly Performance Report published today verified
that a single instance of an Allot Security VNF delivered
performance on the brink of 200Gbps while inspecting traffic at
wire speed and performing URL filtering.
Communication service providers and cloud networks are embracing
NFV as the new architecture for service delivery and operation.
However, a number of challenges such as interoperability, service
management and system integration have inhibited adoption
potential. Allot is now helping its customers benefit from the NFV
architecture and tackle these challenges by delivering a
comprehensive VNF including pre-integrated services purposely
designed for quick and seamless deployment in large-scale
virtualized networks.
Allot Service Gateway-Virtual Edition
Introduced to the market eight years ago, the Allot Service
Gateway is a platform for the delivery and integration of data
network services – ranging from visibility, control and security to
customer engagement and monetization. Allot Service Gateway –
Virtual Edition plays the same role in NFV environments,
providing a virtualized framework for seamless integration and
interoperability of VNFs.
Pre-Integrated Virtualized Services
The Allot Service Gateway Virtual Edition's underlying framework
provides service enablement capabilities including application
awareness, big data collection and mediation, multi-tenancy,
anomaly detection, network integration and control plane
integration. The services operating in conjunction with the
framework fall into the following three categories: customer
visibility, customer experience and customer protection. Each
virtualized service is a standalone VNF which includes the
respective services and the underlying framework with all
aforementioned capabilities.
"The Allot Service Gateway is all about best-of-breed service
agility and efficiency from day one, providing service providers
effective monetization opportunities," said Jay Klein, CTO, Allot Communications. "Adapting
the proven and popular capabilities of Allot's Service Gateway in a
new framework with pre-integrated virtualized services prearranged
as a VNF, allows service providers to enjoy a smooth deployment,
free their networks of physical hardware constraints and quickly
achieve the cost and efficiency benefits promised by
NFV."
Allot Continues NFV Innovation and Validation
Today, Allot also announces that Tolly has certified the
performance of an Allot Security VNF operating at 200 Gbps
using Allot Service Gateway Virtual Edition. Tolly tested a
single instance of an Allot virtualized security service together
with the virtualized service framework to certify the solution's
throughput and performance while running on COTS hardware. The
hardware used was HP DL 380 Gen9 server outfitted with two Intel
Xeon E5 v3processors and the hypervisor used was KVM. The tests
included processing high volume traffic by the Allot VNF while
performing layer 4-7 inspection and URL filtering. The results
validate the product's ability to create a virtualized service
framework that supports virtualized services that are
pre-integrated for seamless deployment in NFV environments.
Allot's track record of NFV innovation started in early 2013,
with the deployment of a virtualized parental control service in a
tier-1 mobile operator. Earlier this year, Allot also announced its
participation in the HP OpenNFV Partner Program, offering Allot's
Virtual Traffic Detection Function and a host of pre-integrated
services that run seamlessly on the HP OpenNFV platform. To date,
Allot and HP have verified interoperability of Allot's security
services, with more to come. Allot is also a member of
the Intel® Network Builders program, which is a focused
development ecosystem focused on accelerating the adoption of NFV
and SDN-based solutions in telco networks.
