Telcos globally face increasing requirements to capture, store and retain years of call detail records (CDR) for law enforcement and other purposes. In Europe the EU Data Retention Directive mandates that service providers retain 6 to 24 months of call records in a secure, separate repository, and that specific records be provided to law enforcement upon request “without undue delay.” Similar regulations are being passed worldwide, in some cases with significantly longer retention periods.
 CDR retention legislation places significant storage, security and analysis obligations on service providers. Smaller operators are likely to generate over 10 terabytes of data over the retention period. Larger operators must plan to manage several 100 terabytes. Traditional data warehouse solutions are too costly, difficult to manage and complex to address these requirements. SenSage offers a simple, optimized solution that minimizes cost and complexity while satisfying performance and scale requirements.
