Allot Service Gateway Tera
Delivering the Digital Experience

Features:

Extreme Performance

Allot Service Gateway Tera (SG-Tera) provides the extreme performance and rich functionality that is needed to deliver digital lifestyle services in fixed, mobile and converged data networks operating in traditional, software-defined, and virtualized network environments. With 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and terabits-per-second of throughput, this carriergrade platform helps service providers satisfy the ever-growing demand for Internet services and bandwidth.

Future-Proof Scalability

Modular platform architecture is designed for the tera era. Allot SG-Tera lets you start small and expand up (connectivity, throughput) and out (capacity) seamlessly. Pay-as-you-grow deployment reduces initial capital outlay and allows operators to respond quickly to market changes.

• Capacity: supports up to 15 million active subscribers (concurrently attached and active), and 360 million concurrent IP flows
• Connectivity: up to 8 x 100GE ports or 96 x 10GE ports
• Throughput: up to 500 Gbps in a single platform
• Clustering: supports up to 8 Allot SG-Tera platforms in a seamless cluster configuration, providing aggregate throughput of up to 4 Tbps
• Management: centrally configured and managed by Allot NetXplorer Management system, including full integration with Allot Subscriber Management Platform (SMP)

Asymmetric Traffic Handling

Allot SG-Tera maintains accurate Layer-7 identification of applications when asymmetric upstream and/or downstream IP flows are processed by two or more platforms.

High Availability

The platform is compliant with NEBS Level 3 and provides 1+1 redundancy at the system level, and N+1 blade-level redundancy mechanisms to ensure service continuity with no downtime due to component failure.

Open, Carrier-Grade Architecture

Engineered to AdvancedTCA® standards for off-the-shelf, carriergrade hardware, while standard software interfaces, protocols, and APIs facilitate rapid integration of third-party value-added services.

Intelligent PCEF/TDF

Compliance with 3GPP standards enables Allot SG-Tera to provide intelligent Traffic Detection Function (TDF) and Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) in 3G/4G mobile data networks. This allows operators to leverage superior traffic identification and classification to enrich the policy decisions of PCRF elements, and to enhance the charging capabilities of online and offline charging systems (OCS, OFCS).

Single Point of VAS Integration

Allot SG-Tera offers a growing portfolio of value-added services hosted in the platform as well as real-time traffic steering to external and third-party VAS systems. As a single point of integration for these services, Allot SG-Tera facilitates fast and cost-effective roll-out and accelerated ROI. Fully integrated VAS currently include Allot WebSafe (URL filtering), Allot WebSafe Personal (parental control, anti-malware), Allot ServiceProtector (anti-DDoS, anti-bot), and Allot VideoClass (video optimization).

High-Resolution Data Records

From its vantage point in the network, Allot SG-Tera monitors and collects a rich variety of high-resolution usage data, including real-time transactions per user, per application, per device, per video session, per VoIP and Instant Messaging session, per Web session, and more. These flexible data records may be exported in standard formats to business intelligence systems and other operator systems for further manipulation and analysis. Frequency and triggers for data record export are configurable parameters, giving operators ready access to usage data that is critical to their business.
