CloudShield’s CS-2000 Enables Korea Telecom Freetel to Improve Billing System

Upgrades to in-line network management and billing solution

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - May 18, 2009

CloudShield Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of service management and infrastructure security solutions, and its system integration partner, NGEN have successfully migrated Korea Telecom Freetel (KTF) to a new billing system, utilizing CloudShield’s CS-2000 as the underlying platform.

KTF is now able to efficiently collect subscriber data and analyze protocols in order to properly manage its session-based billing and provide the best customer experience possible. With the solution in place, KTF has improved the functionality of its Account Charging System (ACS) Call Flow, One Day Pass for Pre-Paid Subscribers and Free Visitor Portal.

CloudShield is the only DPI vendor that enables ISVs, SIs and customers to write applications on its hardware solutions platform. Applications are developed for the CS-2000 and the IBM BladeCenter PN41 using packetC™, CloudShield’s network processing language, and the first open programming language designed for secure, scalable high-performance parallel network processing.

Executive quote

“In order to provide new services to its rapidly growing subscriber base, KTF needed to upgrade its billing solution,” said Peder Jungck, founder and CTO of CloudShield. “The CS-2000 has the ability to look at granular traffic levels, which allows providers to improve a wide range of services, including billing. Utilizing this technology, NGEN wrote the new application to give KTF a scalable model that will be able to accurately manage session-based billing.”

“Helping the world’s leading ICET (Information, Communications, Entertainment, and Transaction) provider enhance its billing capabilities in order to meet new subscriber services offerings is a solutions success engagement for CloudShield,” said Matt Jones, CEO of CloudShield. “This is a great example of how CloudShield’s flexible software development environment allows world class partners like NGEN to rapidly develop applications that address large telecommunications customer requirements and drive a compelling ROI.”

Customer quote

“There are many non-standardized requirements for customers in Korea that cannot be fulfilled by off-the shelf products. Meeting these requirements was the major reason behind the development of the KTF ACS billing system,” said Myeongkuk Son, director of research & development center at NGEN. “The flexibility of the CS-2000 enabled us to address these issues and offer a billing system that was a major improvement upon KTF’s legacy solution.”
