“Partnership will offer 10Gbps network forensics solution to key market

Tokyo Japan — August 17, 2009 – Solera Networks, the leading provider of high performance network
forensics products and services announced today that Network Value Components, Inc. (NVC), the leading network integrator in Japan and Solera Networks Japan, Inc. has signed a sales distribution agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, NVC will sell Solera Networks network forensics products along with its Deep Packet Inspection solutions in Japan.

With network threats ever increasing, it is inevitable that organizations will have to make new investments to better prepare for emerging threats and continuous changes in technology. There are many solutions that attempt to protect against every threat; however, there is no perfect answer.

Some organizations try to address this by locating a forensics solution that is protocol and system independent that provides lossless data capture and complete searching. However, until now the market has not delivered a forensics device that can meet the demands of today’s high-speed networks. Solera Networks delivers a real network forensics solution that can be implemented in any 10Gb network environment for complete capture, indexing, search and replay of any network event.

“Network Forensics is a fast growing market, as many security professionals now recognize that identifying the true scope of a breach results in swift remediation and mitigation of further risk,” said Steve Shillingford, CEO of Solera Networks. “We actively seek partnerships with organizations that understand the value of network forensics, can help educate the market, and are able to deliver real solutions. NVC is one of those partners.”

Susumu Watanabe, President of NVC also said, “We have many customers seeking high-speed network forensics solutions to get to the root cause of security events. Previously, we were unable to deliver a solution that met their demands for 10Gbps capture and easy access to network traffic, once captured. With Solera Networks, we now have that solution.”

“Solera Networks Japan has had success with many organizations that recognize the unique benefits of Solera Networks high-speed network forensics solutions,” said Fumiya Minagawa, President of Solera Networks Japan. “NVC is a recognized leader in delivering network solutions and this partnership will help accelerate future growth.”
