VIRTUAL ALIS

A Transition Path for Lawful Interception in Network Functions Virtualization

The AQSACOM Lawful Interception System (ALIS), is globally recognized as a premier solution managing Lawful Interception for voice and data networks, covering PSTN, GSM, GPRS, LTE, CDMA, WCDMA, VoIP, xDSL, Satellite, E-Mail, and more. To address the industry trend towards Network Functions Virtualization, AQSACOM has developed a virtual ALIS solution (vALIS) operating as a Virtual Network Function (VNF) over virtual machines running on commodity server hardware. Thus, carriers worldwide can take advantage of their server farms and virtualized computing and networking environments to operate Lawful Interception in a highly secure and scalable manner.  The vALIS solution is comprised of the following features:

However, this is only a step towards true Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). AQSACOM is now working as an active player in the ETSI NFV Security Industry Specifications Group to iron out the steps and industry practices that will enable Lawful Interception to operate as a virtualized function over partially and fully virtualized networks.
