MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 20, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Allot Communications (Nasdaq:ALLT), a leading provider of deep packet inspection (DPI) technology for service optimization, today announced that Capinfo Limited Company is using Allot NetEnforcer broadband management devices to enforce service level agreements (SLA) and assist in capacity planning for its growing service network.
Serving as a "private broadband carrier" to the Beijing municipal government, Capinfo operates an online business environment that hosts network applications and digital communications for numerous Beijing service systems and government projects, including Capital Public Information Platform (CPIP), Beijing Social Security Information System, Beijing E-Government Private Network, Beijing Citizen Card Project, E-Commerce and Payment System and others.
"We provide service to critical government systems that demand reliable network service for extremely high volumes of traffic," explained Shao Jianping, vice president of Capinfo. "Allot NetEnforcer gives us usage reporting and analysis for accurate capacity planning, plus the policy-based control we need to guarantee our service level agreements."
The NetEnforcer deployed by Capinfo is from Allot's line of carrier-class devices. From its position in the network, NetEnforcer monitors network traffic and provides usage reports that help Capinfo analyze traffic patterns and predict bandwidth requirements. Via the NetEnforcer, Capinfo has enacted quality of service (QoS) policies that guarantee minimum bandwidth to critical customers and applications. They also limit the bandwidth for FTP downloads and peer-to-peer file-sharing during peak usage hours. Plans are on the drawing-board to support video-conferencing services for hundreds of customers which will also require end-to-end QoS capability.
One of the main benefits resulting from the NetEnforcer deployment has been the ability to reduce bandwidth costs through better bandwidth management and capacity planning. "We realized a return on our NetEnforcer investment in only nine months," declared Jianping.
Allot President and CEO, Rami Hadar said, "Capinfo's need to support increasing volumes and types of network traffic, guarantee SLAs, and hold the line on bandwidth costs typifies what we are seeing among broadband service providers today. Allot answers this need by providing a complete portfolio of solutions for Intelligent IP Service Optimization."
