Retentia FAQ's
Why Retentia now?
In response to the New York City terrorist attacks of 9-11 and the London and Madrid train bombings- many countries around the world are passing legislation that will require Telco's and ISP's to upgrade their existing infrastructures to capture, retain and manage telephone and internet surfing records. The aim of these directives is to enable Law Enforcement Agencies to quickly investigate and prosecute terrorists and serious crime activity.
In order to meet these new and stringent requirements Telco's and ISP's must:
- Keep a record of each phone call
- Keep a record of each website visited
- Guarantee immediate access to law enforcement of each customer record
- Guarantee timely and useful call and message analysis
- Retain these records for a minimum of 6 months and not more than 2 years
Retentia does all this and more for a lot less money than competing solutions.
Why is Retentia better than competing solutions?
Traditional Solutions:
- Rely upon a combination of mediation systems, storage, data warehousing and Relational Data Base Management Systems
- These systems are not optimized for wide date window analysis or storage of millions/billions of daily phone/ internet details records- and updating these systems, to handle this massive increase in data and scalability using traditional architectures will be very cost prohibitive.
- Legacy systems are many times more expensive and require expensive database software, high end server systems, massive storage appliances, and more administration resources in order to meet the query response time requested in the EU and other directives.
- Cannot guarantee data segregation and privacy regulations.
The Retentia Solution:
- Makes use of a proprietary technology that uses less storage space and has faster response times than those of a Relational Data Base Management Systems.
- Is "Purpose-built" and excludes RDBMS technology or licensing and is far less expensive.
- Uses Distributed architecture that allows huge scalability by using low end, low cost servers.
- Has Real time data analysis capability.
- Preserves security and access control in complete accordance with the EU and other directives.
- It costs less, often 50% less than competing systems.
- Requires less hardware.
- Takes less time to install and maintain.
- Has proven reliability and scalability.
- Enables real time reporting.
