Allot (News - Alert) Communications has been on something of a roll lately, and it appears the company’s momentum is nearly unstoppable.
Back in early April, the health department of a major Western European nation selected Allot solutions from the company. The IT department at the unnamed entity (at their request) selected Redundant Allot NetEnforcer AC-3000 bandwidth management devices for use at the data center access link, and Allot NetEnforcer AC-1440 units for each of 28 hospitals. Allot NetXplorer was selected to manage the entire installation.
Later in April, the company announced the launch of its new Allot Service Gateway (News - Alert) Tera. According to Allot, the product is a high-performance DPI-based platform built to power the deployment of Digital Workstyle Services in fixed and mobile data networks, on the path to software-defined networking and cloud-based network services. The company soon reported that it had received multimillion-dollar orders from four different mobile and fixed-line operators, worldwide. Among those orders are a four million dollar deal announced earlier this year, and a more recent six million dollar deal.
“Our modular platform architecture is specially designed for the ‘Tera Era,’ allowing service providers to expand connectivity, throughput and capacity on demand in a pay-as-you-grow model,” said Andrei Elefant, VP of product management and marketing at Allot Communications (News - Alert). “This reduces the initial capital investment and offers service providers a smooth migration path toward SDN and virtualization.”
Now Allot has just announced it has received another new order from a Tier-1 cable operator for an Intelligent Traffic Management solution addressing congestion on its Cable Access Network. This phase one deployment comes as a first-time order for Allot from this leading carrier. The $3M (News - Alert) deal closed in Q2 of 2014.
The Allot solution being used in this deployment provides deep visibility into network traffic and enables pinpointing of congestion in high granularity to deliver crucial insight into the nature of the congestion. The solution then allows the operator to apply selective traffic shaping policies in order to avoid congestion and ensure quality of experience for real-time applications as well as fair distribution of resources between subscribers.
So it would seem that whatever Allot is doing, they’re doing it right … and frequently. As this year isn’t even half over, this bodes very well for this a leading supplier of service optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and mobile broadband operators and cloud providers.
