The telecom needed to come up with an alternative solution that could handle the rising number of IPDRs, which were hundreds of times greater than CDRs in their peta-scale datasets.
They required fast integration and interface to their warrant query interface, the ability to scale up if needed, and fast adoption into the organization (with no additional training). Lastly, the 3 nines availability and strict security standards were mandatory, in addition to compliance with EU GDPR regulations.
