Allot (News - Alert) Communications and PeerApp have announced a joint solution that is expected to enable Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to manage network bandwidth costs, increase subscriber loyalty, and create new revenue-generating services.
Integrating Allot Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) devices with PeerApp’s intelligent media caching solutions, this new solution optimizes the delivery of video content over the Internet.
The joint solution “dramatically improves” the subscriber experience with Internet video content by reducing the delays caused by multimedia content buffering, according to the companies.
Officials said that when PeerApp UltraBand Intelligent media caching solution is deployed with the Allot NetEnforcer or Service Gateway (News - Alert), Allot's DPI engine identifies Internet Video streams and redirects them to the UltraBand platform.
The Ultraband uses caching technology to free up bandwidth, which speeds up the download process, said officials.
Moreover, officials pointed out that Allot’s Service Gateway or NetEnforcer can also be used to prioritize the video application traffic to all or premium-plan subscribers, which enables ISPs to create new, revenue-generating services from Internet video.
Allot Communications is a provider of intelligent IP
service optimization solutions. The company’s solutions apply deep packet inspection (DPI) technology to transform broadband pipes into smart networks.
“The partnership with PeerApp furthers our vision of leveraging DPI as a platform to generate revenues and optimize our customers' networks,” said Azi Ronen, executive vice president of corporate development at Allot.
He expects that this solution will help service providers handle over-the-top video—the fastest growing segment of network traffic traversing the Internet today—“intelligently, cost effectively and immediately.”
PeerApp, a provider of solutions, helps ISPs manage P2P and HTTP
video traffic to improve network efficiency. Based on patented P2P caching and acceleration technology, PeerApp solutions help ISPs build new revenue streams from broadband media delivery.
Frank Childs, vice president of business development at PeerApp, said, “Allot’s superior application identification capabilities, coupled with our intelligent media caching technology, give ISPs what they need not only to overcome today’s service challenges, but also to participate economically in the Internet video revolution by managing video traffic locally and intelligently.”
