Endace Launches Ninjabox Product

Endace Limited, a world leader in the acceleration of network security and analysis applications, today announced the release of its new Ninjabox platform for beta trials. Endace has developed the Ninjabox to make the next generation of advanced network monitoring and security solutions accessible to a broader range of customers.

The Ninjabox platform combines four components; Endace's data capture cards, its Application Software Accelerator coprocessor, a high-performance server, and Endace's access and management software. These components are integrated to make the platform user-friendly, so less-technical users can now also increase the overall performance of their network software.

Network performance is enhanced for Ninjabox users by accessing the additional processing power, beyond standard products, of Endace's advanced coprocessor technology. The data handling power of Endace's coprocessor acts in a similar way to a network processor, in that it performs network specific tasks much faster than can be performed by standard software. This additional processing capability reduces common overload problems such as data bottlenecks.

Commenting on the Ninjabox launch, Endace CEO Selwyn Pellett said, "This is a significant advance for both Endace and the network security industry. By enabling customers to accelerate their security applications we are confident our Ninjabox will be adopted as the platform of choice by serious network security vendors and customers alike. The Ninjabox is expected to be an attractive product for independent software vendors, as they will now be able to take their software to market faster with significantly higher performance. The launch of the Ninjabox for beta trials with initial roll-out to customers in early 2006, strengthens our offering considerably and we look forward to it contributing to group revenues shortly."
