Ocient Data Retention and Disclosure System Overview

This case study outlines the Ocient Data Retention and Disclosure System, which is designed to assist communications services providers (CSPs) in managing lawful disclosure of network data in compliance with regulations such as CALEA and IPA. The document details the challenges faced by a large telecommunications company that struggled with legacy systems unable to handle the growing complexity and volume of call detail records (CDR) and IP datasets. The Ocient solution enables the telco to ingest, analyze, and store significant amounts of data, achieving compliance with service level agreements (SLAs) while optimizing storage and energy usage. Key results include the ability to analyze 30 terabits per second of network traffic and retain one year of data for querying in minutes. The system is modular, allowing for flexible deployment options, and includes components such as a disclosure portal and API to facilitate the disclosure request lifecycle. Overall, the Ocient system aims to reduce costs while enhancing performance for CSPs.
