Platform
SoleraSix sets the standard for effective Network Security Analytics. Gain unprecedented visibility into all network activity.
DSFS File System
The core of SoleraSix is the DS File System (DSFS), a proprietary system optimized for high-speed network packet capture, storage, and playback. Among its many benefits, DSFS implements proprietary disk management, a virtual file system (VFS), management of capture on multiple interfaces, and services for regenerating packets to external network segments.
Solera DB
This latest installment of Solera Networks’ patented capture technology includes a highly efficient compression that increases the amount of data that can be stored in the same physical space by a factor of 10 to 1. Solera DB also indexes every packet in a high performance database to allow quick retrieval, while the new architecture allows storage for rich and detailed Application Classification and Description data.
Application Classification and DeepSee Live
One needs only to look deep inside packet data to find the telltale signatures of true identity. Solera Networks does just that, digging deep to classify over 530 applications and thousands of descriptive details. This means that not only can you efficiently identify web traffic, you can easily access descriptive information about a network session including application, personal identity, intended actions, content types, and filenames—all while other technical details are extracted and stored. New reports include application families, applications, email addresses, social network personas, instant messaging handles, search engine queries, URLs, and many more.
DeepSee Live provides visibility into the largest set of applications on your network. With the latest application signatures, updated through DeepSee Live, you now have the unique capability to pinpoint exactly what went wrong and what application was the source of any security event.
Seamless Integrations – Powerful API
SoleraSix integrates with best-of-breed network security technologies to pivot directly from an alert or log and obtain full-payload detail of the event before, during and after the alert. The open, web services REST API lets you leverage technologies like ArcSight, FireEye, Splunk, Sourcefire, Palo Alto Networks, SonicWALL or any other application.
Ultimate Performance
Solera DS Appliances (powered by SoleraSix) capture and classify everything that crosses your network (packet header and payload—layers 2-7), giving you a complete and forensically sound record of network activity. Only Solera DS Appliances meet the grueling demands of the largest government and enterprise networks, yet swiftly reconstruct and deliver real files from within terabytes of raw packet data.
Scale to Any Network
SoleraSix powers every Solera DS Appliance. Deployment options range from small or branch office appliances to dedicated 10Gb appliances with expandable storage for today’s fastest networks. Only Solera Networks gives you the option to also deploy as a Solera DS Virtual Appliance. Needless to say, large business customers with expansive networks have selected Solera Networks as the only choice capable of meeting their needs — now and into the future.
Virtual Appliance
All of our capabilities and features can now be packaged uniquely as a virtual appliance. Ideal for small to medium-sized organizations and branch office deployments, the power of Solera Networks technology is now available at your convenience in any virtual environment for VMWare ESX deployments.
PCAP/Packets
Network speeds and the amount of data traversing today’s networks continue to increase. It’s not easy to grab 10 million or more packets a second, analyze them, and store them without losing a single byte. The best security analytics tools are useless if the underlying data wasn’t recorded with full fidelity.
SoleraSix is a patented architecture that does just that; it captures network data at speeds up to 10Gbps with full fidelity and without using custom capture hardware. In addition, SoleraSix offers industry standard PCAP export capabilities allowing you to archive select data or import it into other applications for analysis.
As your network evolves, Solera Networks will be able to provide the very latest in capture and analysis capabilities without a forklift upgrade. This architecture is proven to scale seamlessly from the most demanding environments, to small remote sites, and to cloud-based infrastructures.
