IP Probes

Sourceworks is a powerful and scalable IP probing technology that forms the core of The Now Factory's Active Subscriber Intelligence (ASI) platform. It captures and analyzes data from IP-based networks at wire speed and provides invaluable subscriber intelligence, enabling feature-rich applications that meet the specific business and operational needs of the service provider. Installed in 31 different service providers globally and reaching a target base of over 400 million data subscribers, Sourceworks is the result of many years of research, development, and IP expertise.

With IP data traffic growing at an exponential rate across a myriad of different devices and network types, Sourceworks eliminates the complexity and challenge of capturing this data from multiple sources and turning it into meaningful subscriber intelligence. It supports a host of existing and next-generation technologies including LTE, IMS, UMTS, HSPA, GSM, CDMA and DSL, protecting investment as service providers migrate across different technologies.

Built on an open architecture, Sourceworks support a host of different IP applications, protocols, and feeds; collecting and interpreting data in a wide range of customer formats depending on the service provider's unique requirements. It optimises performance by delivering the fastest processing capabilities on the market that capture and analyse 10Gbps volumes at wire speed. It can also scale both horizontally and vertically within the service provider IP network, supporting cluster-based deployments, multiple physical interfaces, and internal link aggregation.

As a vendor-agnostic solution, Sourceworks supports plug 'n play integration with existing IP data sources, making it compatible with all IP-based infrastructure and hardware. It is fully extensible so that as new IP services come online, new plug n' play analysis modules are activated and can start monitoring new transactions immediately.

Sourceworks in conjunction with Smartworks enables The Now Factory's Mobile Moments suite of applications, providing a flexible end-to-end solution where it extracts subscriber intelligence from the IP network and formats it according to the service provider's specific business and operational requirements.
