New Napatech 10 Gbps In-Line Product Family Doubles Network Throughput

ANDOVER, Mass., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Napatech today launches a new product
line addressing In-line network analysis applications with the release of the
NT20E In-line Adapter. The NT20E In-line Adapter is the first PCI Express
Network Adapter to provide genuine 10 Gbps line-rate processing, analysis and
transmission of network traffic with zero packet loss for any packet size.

The NT20E In-line Adapter is ideal for OEM network appliance vendors in the
network performance monitoring, network test, network security, financial
trading and policy enforcement markets, especially those which require full 10
Gbps throughput and application acceleration. While standard network adapters
provide 10 Gbps ports, the effective amount of data sent or received through
the port is actually less than 5 Gbps in typical operation. With the NT20E
In-line Adapter, this limitation is now removed with full 10 Gbps throughput
on all ports. This is important for many network analysis applications which
are now facing challenges in handling 10 Gbps traffic.

"Networks are migrating to 10 Gbps to cope with the increased user demand for
bandwidth from voice, video and Internet hosted applications. The ability to
monitor 10Gbps traffic in-line at full line rate provides a number of
advantages. It enables network monitoring and security functions to be
centralized in the core of the network for ease of management as a complement
or replacement for multiple monitoring points at the edge of the network. It
also makes these types of solutions more affordable for enterprises that could
not justify a large number of edge monitoring points. This is important as
accurate traffic analysis, network forensics and network security are fast
becoming mandatory requirements for all enterprises," said John Barr, Research
Director, Financial Markets, The 451 Group.

"Napatech was the first company to provide full line rate capture and
real-time analysis at 10 Gbps with zero packet loss. With the NT20E In-line
Adapter we are now extending this capability and our rich feature set to
In-line applications, which require both full line-rate reception and
transmission at 10 Gbps. This is important for many network appliance
applications, which are having difficulty operating at full line rate without
losing packets. With our In-line adapters, full line rate is possible enabling
our OEM customers to continue to support the transition from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps
networks and the growing need for higher performance," said Erik Norup,
President, Napatech Inc.

Napatech adapters provide more than just full throughput; they also include a
number of intelligent features designed to off-load data traffic processing
from server CPUs, such as packet classification, packet tagging and filtering
and intelligent distribution of traffic processing on multiple CPU cores.
Other functions include efficient capture with nanosecond precision
time-stamping. An extensive software suite is provided for ease of integration
supporting Linux, FreeBSD and Windows.

The NT20E In-line will be demonstrated at the Interop event in Las Vegas from
the 17th to 21st of May at Napatech's booth (#341).
