Acartus Dials in Call Detail Record Archiving for Front Range Internet, Inc.; ApertureONE by Acartus Provides FRII with an End-to-End CDR Solution, Complete with Archiving, Retrieval and Mining Applications.

DENVER -- Front Range Internet Inc. (FRII), a leading telecommunications provider in Colorado, announced it is implementing a call detail record (CDR) management solution provided through Acartus. ApertureONE by Acartus will enable FRII to capture, archive and retrieve high volume call detail records (CDRs). CDR archiving and retrieval is complemented by ApertureONE Mining Server, which selectively filters and manages finely grained indexes of CDR data. Enriching CDR management with integrated mining allows substantial volumes of recent CDR data to be made rapidly available.

As a voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) provider, FRII generates large volumes of CDRs; for each call placed a record must be retained, detailing origin and destination numbers, network routing details, date, time and duration. These records must be furnished immediately upon request for FCC compliance and law enforcement inquiries. The emergence of increased FCC regulations has transformed effective CDR management from a storage issue into a critical compliance requirement for VOIP and mobile phone providers.

"Acartus is enthusiastically committed to delivering a CDR management solution to FRII," said Brant Henne, Product Marketing Manager at Acartus. "CDR management for a VOIP service provider represents a cutting-edge use case opportunity well-suited for our ApertureONE platform, providing FRII with lower total archive ownership costs while creating the opportunity to establish CDR best practices for compliance."

Following a rigorous evaluation, FRII selected the ApertureONE platform, based on its ability to deliver an end-to-end CDR solution. Fully indexed archives are available throughout the enterprise, and can be rapidly supplied upon request. Through ApertureONE Mining Server, FRII benefits from immediate availability of finely grained data culled from recent CDR histories and rapid access to the entire CDR archive. This solution represents a scalable CDR management solution that facilitates short term compliance requirements while meeting efficient longer term archival needs.

"VOIP providers are seeking out effective solutions for CDR management," said Barry Eastman, Director of Technical Operations at FRII. "The rapid growth of VOIP technology has outpaced the industry's ability to manage this critical, high-volume information. Facilitating rapid access to CDRs for legal discovery and law enforcement requests has historically required FRII to invest substantial resources. As archive volume and compliance pressures mount, it is clear that FRII requires the ability to maintain and improve the accessibility of our CDR archives. We anticipate the solution provided through Acartus will effectively solve our CDR challenges."
