Allot Communications has unveiled an end-to-end Allot Virtual Network Function (VNF) solution, Allot Service Gateway-Virtual Edition and its portfolio of pre-integrated services aimed at easing service deployment and accelerating time-to-revenue for service providers. Allot Service Gateway is a platform for the delivery and integration of data network services – ranging from visibility, control and security to customer engagement and monetization. The virtual edition plays the same role as the hardware-based solution, providing a virtualized framework for seamless integration and interoperability of VNFs.
Citing Tolly Performance Report, Allot verified that a single instance of an Allot Security VNF delivered performance on the brink of 200Gbps while inspecting traffic at wire speed and performing URL filtering. Tolly tested this with the virtualized service framework to certify the solution’s throughput and performance while running on COTS hardware.

Adapting the proven and popular capabilities of Allot’s Service Gateway in a new framework with pre-integrated virtualized services prearranged as a VNF, allows service providers to enjoy a smooth deployment, free their networks of physical hardware constraints and quickly achieve the cost and efficiency benefits promised by NFV.
