Ocient, the leading data analytics software solutions company, today announced the launch of the Ocient Data Retention and Disclosure System, a high-performance, modular solution for telecommunications and communications service providers (CSPs). The system provides enhanced data ingestion, retention, and analysis capabilities for network analytics and compliance in a more cost-, storage-, and energy-efficient footprint. With Ocient’s new solution, telcos and CSPs can scale their data collection, retention, and analysis capabilities meeting the needs of growing network metadata stores while enabling rapid search and retrieval of records within seconds.
As the volume of data generated from fixed line, mobile, Internet, and 5G networks continues to grow, the near-real time ingestion, retention, and analysis of that data has become technically challenging and cost prohibitive. By leveraging Ocient, telcos and CSPs can enhance their network analytics infrastructure and meet regulatory compliance needs; reducing the cost of their technical stack and avoiding costly fines/penalties incurred from non-compliance with regulations, such as the Communications and Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) and Investigatory Powers Act (IPA).
The Ocient Data Retention and Disclosure System is currently leveraged by global Tier 1 telecommunications providers, demonstrating its ability to efficiently manage complex network data challenges and achieve industry compliance.
“Given the increasing costs and technical complexities associated with expanding data workloads, providing customers with solutions for improved data ingestion, retention, and analysis is crucial,” stated Jeremy Miller, founder and CEO of Coravant. “Ocient’s latest system for data retention and disclosure delivers powerful technical capabilities to telcos and CSPs, tackling their most pressing data challenges while emphasizing energy and space efficiency on a large scale.”
Powered by the Ocient Hyperscale Data Warehouse™, the Ocient Data Retention and Disclosure System is designed to support a variety of network data types, including call detail records, Internet protocol data records, and subscriber metadata with configurable modules including:
- A Disclosure Portal to manage disclosure requests and fulfillment with management reporting and fully auditable disclosure logs
- A Disclosure API to securely process disclosure workflows and customizable to meet the needs of different regions
- An Ocient IPFIX Collector to collect unbuffered UDP streams and reliably load IPFIX data into the system
- Certified Integrations to work with common industry data formats and to collect data from network probe partners or network appliances
By leveraging the Ocient Hyperscale Data Warehouse™ to retain, store, and search through high-volume network data, the Ocient Data Retention and Disclosure System includes a full analytics suite with powerful data ingest and analytics capabilities, including:
- Always-on data ingest with rapid time to query: ingest millions of records per second continuously with data available for query in seconds
- A multi-petabyte data repository: leveraging Ocient’s Compute Adjacent Storage Architecture™ (CASA) to efficiently store trillions of network records for rapid search and retrieval
- Network data types and secondary indexing: support for specialized data types and indexes for IP addresses and domain names to accelerate queries for network analysis and search
- High-concurrency performance: supporting more than tens of thousands of queries per day with minimal latency
- Native support for predictive AI and spatiotemporal analytics: leveraging OcientML™ and OcientGeo™ to enrich and expand insights
- Cost-effective storage and energy-efficient data center footprint: lowering the number of servers and cloud instances required to deploy and manage a network data repository and analytics solution by up to 90% over legacy data management solutions and cloud data warehouses
- On-premises and cloud deployment with management services: providing users the flexibility to host their solution in their data center on industry-standard hardware or in the cloud with 24/7 monitoring and support
“Telcos and CSPs have historically been challenged to effectively retain, search, and analyze their growing and often overwhelming volume of network and communications data,” said Chris Gladwin, CEO of Ocient. “With Ocient’s Data Retention and Disclosure System, we’re equipping customers with the capabilities they need to address the technical burden posed by this data, while helping them avoid fines and penalties associated with not analyzing this data fast enough. Further, Ocient enables these organizations to reduce the cost, size, and energy consumption of these high-volume network data repositories.”
