Problem: Costly Links and Charges, Frequent Upgrades
About 60% of residentially generated Internet traffic is Peer-to-Peer (P2P) traffic. Most of it doesn't generate revenue, yet consumes lion's share of service providers' network resources. In the process, it increases transit costs, disrupts revenue generating traffic such as VoIP, and forces premature network infrastructure build outs.
Costs are increased when service providers are hit with excess transit network charges or higher bandwidth charges by their backbone providers. Service providers also forgo performance related revenue when P2P traffic causes Service Level Agreement (SLA) misses. Uncontrolled P2P traffic forces providers to prematurely build out their network infrastructure which increases capital expenditures.
Solution:
The CloudShield services management solution enables service providers to reduce operating costs, improve customer satisfaction and reduce capital expenditures as described below.
- Reduces operating costs: Gaining policy control over subscriber traffic means providers can regulate traffic to comply with current bandwidth agreements for all. The CloudShield subscriber services manager enables service providers to reduce their monthly fees paid to backbone providers, eliminate excess transit network charges and reduce bulk transport expenses, saving providers' money.
- Improves customer satisfaction: The CloudShield subscriber services manager enables service providers to better understand and control traffic on their networks so as to more reliably meet customer Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Managing subscriber-level traffic will no longer crowd out revenue generating traffic and help maintain customer satisfaction.
- Defers and limits capital expenditures: By shaping traffic at the subscriber-level, bandwidth is made available for new revenue generating services. Rate limiting traffic allows network infrastructure build-out to be deferred, thereby reducing capital expenditures.
This solution is enabled by CloudShield's CS-2000 Carrier Class, Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) platform. Only this highly scalable platform with its multi-threaded architecture can support sophisticated policy driven subscriber-level controls at wire speed.
