| Endace Announces Enhancements to Their NinjaProbe Appliance Endace announces enhancements to their NinjaProbe appliance that now allow the platform to capture, store and replay network traffic at speeds approaching 10Gb/s. These capabilities permit network operators to replay events on their network exactly as they occurred, providing the ability to recreate real network scenarios, identify the cause and effect of alarm conditions, load and test networking and security equipment and actively study user experiences for services like video on demand. Until now, testing has relied on expensive equipment to generate synthetic test patterns; an approach that does not reflect real world traffic conditions and therefore fails to allow for proper network optimization. Deployed as consolidated monitoring equipment and driving a full range of preferred monitoring applications, NinjaProbe is deployed by network operations and security officers alike, unobtrusively monitoring every packet on network links, writing a copy of each packet to system memory and simultaneously adding a time stamp with nano-second granularity. With on-board storage now expandable to 128TB, NinjaProbe can store days, weeks and even months of monitored data. Mirroring the exponential growth of content replay in mainstream applications, capture/replay capabilities are fast becoming de facto requirements for network operators. With end users demanding both high speed connectivity and an improved quality of experience, operators must be able to recreate the exact characteristics of a customer session for a broad range of network speeds and services. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
