Enables Third Party Developers to Readily Access Capture and
Replay Capabilities of High Speed Monitoring Portfolio
AUCKLAND, New Zealand & WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
Endace Limited ("Endace"; LSE/AIM: EDA), a world leader in high
speed network monitoring today announced the availability of a new
application programming interface (API) that simplifies the handling
of large captured-data files and real-time data flows . Endace's data
forwarding API (DFA) is now available for current and prospective
application partners to access the full packet capture, filter and
duplication capabilities of the NinjaProbe appliance portfolio.
Capturing data at high rates presents a problem for traffic
analysis software that downloads and opens very large files in order
to access the subject data. Endace's DFA improves performance
monitoring by allowing these applications to request target traffic
from the NinjaProbe on an "as-needed" basis. "Endace has a strong
history in providing open APIs for packet capture," explained Stephen
Gleave, VP Marketing at Endace. "Our Data Acquisition and Generation,
or DAG, cards have always provided a common API for packet capture,
regardless of network interface type. By extending this approach to
our portfolio of managed appliances, we are providing a unique
opportunity for partners to leverage the power of a single platform to
simultaneously drive multiple monitoring applications, easily and
effectively."
The ability for a single probe to filter, store or forward
relevant data to multiple back-office applications is of broad
interest to customers and developers alike. "As a developer of
sophisticated applications for intelligence analysts, Fox Replay
relies on ready access to stored or real-time data for complete
reconstruction of intercepted traffic flows," said Bert Hubert, CTO
and co-founder of Fox Replay. "NinjaProbe's data forwarding API allows
companies like Fox to translate the power of high speed, one hundred
percent packet capture into usable information for government agencies
and law enforcement, without the need to sift through terabytes of
stored but potentially irrelevant data."
