Allot Communications Ltd (NASDAQ:ALLT), the network intelligence and security provider, announced Thursday that it would provide network traffic management services to KPN, a leading Dutch landline and mobile telecommunications company.
The Dutch company has chosen the Allot Secure Service Gateway to manage its traffic, calibrate its data center’s high-rate bandwidth across multiple IP addresses, while simultaneously identifying bandwidth anomalies, and reducing network congestion.
KPN serves millions of fixed, mobile and Internet subscribers throughout the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, and Spain with business network services and data transport throughout Europe.
"KPN came to us seeking a solution that offered simplicity without increasing operation expenditures, as well as the ability to adequately plan for network capacity on an ongoing basis. After evaluating several vendors, they found that the Allot Service Gateway provided the scalability currently needed with room to expand in the future," said Tomer Egozi, vice president sales, Global Enterprise, at Allot Communications. "After deployment, the operations team is empowered to troubleshoot degradations, identify service level forming breaches in real-time, and forecast growing demands — all of which are important when making conscious expansion decisions.

Allot's Secure Service Gateway is designed to maximize network performance, monitor traffic, pinpoint problems and filter out potential security threats before they have an effect on service, lowering operating costs through a one-stop shop solution.
"Before choosing Allot, we faced several operational challenges including frequent network outages due to poor performance and the inability to run supported cluster and custom advanced reports,” said Gert Heyblom, technical product manager at KPN. “The solution we were using had reached its maximum capacity and this caused scalability issues and negatively impacted customer Quality of Experience (QoE). With the Allot Service Gateway, we will improve overall customer QoE by more easily troubleshooting network and application performance in real time,” he added.
Allot shares were trading flat at $6.43 before the opening bell.
