Network Playback
In today's high-speed networks, volumes of data flow back and forth at ever-increasing speeds. It's now easier for unwanted or malicious data to pass through your network, do its intended harm and depart–unnoticed. Most of the network analysis tools available today can't keep up with the volume of data and speed of the network. A packet sniffer or intrusion detection system(IDS) may only be capable of monitoring at 1.0 Gbps, but traffic at peak speeds may exceed 5.0 Gbps. The sniffer or IDS become a bottleneck and therefore ineffective–limited to only analyzing segments of data. Analyze only a sample of your data and there is a high probability that issues will go undetected.
With a Solera DS Appliance you can regenerate live network traffic at full-line rate, within a millisecond of capture. You can buffer, regenerate, throttle and essentially split your data into multiple segments to multiple analysis tools or systems. Deploy multiple instances of the same tool and deliver data at a speed they can adequately handle. Or, buffer network traffic and let the tools catch up at off-peak times. Network inspection and forensics is now critical to maintaining a secure network, delivering optimum performance and ensuring compliance with stringent corporate and government regulations. Don't let your analysis tools become the bottleneck.
