The PacketLogic Real-Time Enforcement platforms (PRE) utilize multiple hardware platforms that run the same operating software. Each of the platforms offer consistent feature richness enabled through the different PacketLogic software modules: LiveView, Filtering, Traffic Shaping, and Statistics. The PacketLogic hardware platforms offer a range of configurations from the entry-level 2RU, 2 Gbps PL7720 through the 5 Gbps PL7810 in a compact 1RU system. The mid-range PL8720 is a 2RU unit with up to 15 Gbps throughput. At the top of the line are the PL8820 with 30 Gbps and the PL8920 with 50 Gbps throughput, both appliances come in a compact 2RU form factor, and the PL10024 with capacity up to 120 Gbps and support for 10M subscribers per system.  The PL100024 is a 13/14RU modular AdvancedTCA (ATCA) chassis solution. The newest addition to the PacketLogic family is the PL20000, the industry's first 100GE capable Intelligent Policy enforcement (IPE) platform, a 14/15RU AC/DC combination system with support for up 320 Gbps of throughput in a single system, and multi-system performance scaling up to 5 Tbps.

 

 

The PacketLogic Intelligence Center (PIC) with PacketLogic Report Studio provides the visualization of the application and subscriber intelligence gathered by deployed PacketLogic systems. Leveraging the subscriber and location awareness provided by the PSM and the application intelligence provided by the PRE, the PIC is able to present a wealth of information to the network operator based on the behavior of their network. The PacketLogic Report Studio is the first Network Intelligence and Analytics solution for Intelligent Policy Enforcement systems that provides comprehensive report creation to answer the business questions network operators need answered to run their business. PacketLogic Report Studio delivers print-ready reports that can be customized to focus on complex analytics that can be used to shape investments in network infrastructure, new services marketing, and product launch decisions. The PIC gives network managers access to relevant network traffic intelligence that enables network optimization, creation of appealing services and protection against malicious behavior.

 

 

PacketLogic Subscriber Manager (PSM) integrates PacketLogic with network management and operation systems including AAA, OSS, BSS, provisioning and policy managers. This enables per-user tracking and policies, also known as user awareness, as well as knowledge of where in the network the user connects, i.e. location awareness. User awareness is required to create personalized offerings that attract new customers, minimize churn, and increase ARPU through value-add services. Location awareness makes it possible to resolve, or even avoid, congestion, enhancing the user-experience. It can also control roaming costs through automatic policy enforcement. The PacketLogic Subscriber Manager (PSM) is the focal point for integration into the Business Support Systems (BSS) and Operational Support Systems (OSS) for the PacketLogic Solutions. PSM integration provides detailed awareness that enables efficient network planning and new service creation. A network operator can use this awareness to better manage their infrastructure to deliver high quality services to their subscribers and offer more attractive services to enhance subscriber capture.
