Endace Delivers Traffic Replay Capabilities for Most Precise Recreation of High Speed Network Events

Massive on-board storage and nano-second transmit granularity
combine to give ultimate test and monitoring experience
AUCKLAND, New Zealand & CHANTILLY, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Endace Limited (LSE/AIM: EDA), a world leader in network
monitoring solutions, today announced enhancements to their leading
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.

"While customers are already familiar with NinjaProbe's wire-speed
traffic capture capabilities, our addition of synchronized traffic
replay, even across multiple probes, adds a new dimension to network
monitoring and trouble-shooting," highlighted Stephen Gleave, VP of
Marketing at Endace. "After precisely time-stamping every captured
packet, NinjaProbe can now accurately replay stored data while
maintaining inter-packet delay intervals, guaranteeing recreation of
the originally monitored traffic."

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. "High volume
data storage coupled to accurate data replay is the equivalent of
network CCTV, giving operators the reassurance that they can readily
share a previous user experience, and quickly isolate issues that
might be impacting network performance," Gleave added.
