ment for telecom operators and service providers around the world. Laws and regulations like
the EU Directive 2006/24/EC oblige telecommunications service providers to retain CDRs,
IPDRs, as well as subscriber data for a period of six to twenty-four months.While much of the

new regulations put some cumbersome and potentially costly obligations on CSPs in regards
to data security, delivery of data, and completeness of information.
Utimaco has addressed these challenges with a brand-new approach that is affordable,

One Utimaco DRS system can be used to administer warrants and search requests for multiple network operators and service providers. The granular rights management system of Utimaco DRS can
be configured to securely segregate between networks, users, and authorities and thus supports
various business models like MVNO models, managed services, or cross-border service platforms.
High Performance & Capacity
Utimaco DRS has been optimized for simultaneous loading of massive data volumes and fast query
processing. The system can ingest several billion data records per day, supporting the transaction
rates generated by large telecommunications networks with millions of subscribers. Average queries
results are returned in seconds not minutes.
Strong Security
Comprehensive security features like role-based access control, encryption and integrity checks prevent
unauthorized access and manipulations of sensitive data during storage and handover. Full audit trails
are maintained for all system and user events to provide full accountability for evidential quality.
High-availability
Server redundancy, RAID-5 data mirroring and real-time system monitoring are integral concepts of
Utimaco DRS to satisfy highest availability demands and disaster resilience.
Cost-efficiency
Utimaco DRS runs on broadly available and cost-efficient X86 servers and uses standard SAS/
SATA disks arranged in RAID-5 arrays. This together with the excellent data compression rates
reduces hardware expenses to the absolute minimum.
Standards based
Utimaco DRS is fully compliant with latest ETSI standards in support of the European Data Retention
Directive 2006/24/EC.
