KEY SYSTEM running on COTS hardware.

BENEFITS All of the functional components that make up Sandvine’s PacketLogic solutions –
Perspectives, Presentation, and Actions – can be readily provisioned without purchasing
vendor-specific, single-use hardware configurations or purpose-built hardware.
• Designed to comply with the ETSI NFV
architectural framework
This provides ultimate flexibility in provisioning computing resources and PacketLogic software
• VNFs can scale easily with additional CPU licenses to provide detailed, subscriber-centric analytics and support for intelligent, real-time
and memory policy enforcement.
• Simplified high availability (HA) deployments
• Equivalent functionality to hardware-based
PacketLogic platforms
SOFTWARE-OPTIMIZED ANALYTICS AND ENFORCEMENT SOLUTIONS
PacketLogic/V platform components run as individual Virtual Network Function Components
(VNFC); part of an ESTI-defined Virtual Network Function (VNF) environment that a network
operator would need to support a PacketLogic analytics or enforcement solution.

Capabilities supported include:

• COMPLETE PACKETLOGIC PRODUCT LINE SUPPORT to enable collapsed
deployments and efficient use of off-the-shelf hardware

• FLEXIBLE NETWORK DEPLOYMENT supporting full migration capabilities to add

services wherever needed without pre-installation of PacketLogic-specific
hardware platforms

• ANALYTICS AND ENFORCEMENT capabilities sized for your needs with easy upgrades
from 1Mbps to over 150Gbps of network traffic throughput

• MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS CAN BE DEPLOYED delivering the features required for

specific services

• DESIGNED FOR TIGHT INTEGRATION with partner NFV products based on the ETSI
NFV architectural framework and ONF SDN standards

PACKETLOGIC/V™ NETWORK INTEGRATION

Network operators are turning to virtualization in order to reduce hardware dependencies,
PLATFORM optimize capital expenditures, and accelerate their ability to deploy new services and generate
revenue. It enables network operators to utilize common hardware and software platforms,
gaining economies of scale by using standard spares and reducing power consumption and
space required.

The PacketLogic/V platform is a flexible solution that can be used to enable all functions that
make up the PacketLogic software solutions, each of which can be customized to represent
a specific VNF in mobile or fixed broadband network deployments:

• PACKETLOGIC PERSPECTIVE solutions are the intelligence libraries that provide context
to network traffic. Subscriber, RAN, and Video are examples of different views that can be
provided as part of the PacketLogic solution

• PACKETLOGIC ACTIONS are the software capabilities like Congestion Management,

Policy & Charging, Mitigation, and Advanced Traffic Steering

• PACKETLOGIC INSIGHTS product families store and visualize the analytics data, enabling
network operators to see how their service offerings are performing and what changes
could be made to enhance revenues. Engineering, Customer Care, and Executive Insights
are examples of the Presentations
