Introducing Endace Systems and Endace Monitoring Fabrics
Powered by DAG
Endace DAG® (Data Acquisition and Generation) cards are the ultimate in network packet capture interface cards. They guarantee 100% packet capture on any network regardless of packet size, interface type, or network load.
For applications that rely on capturing traffic on high-speed networks, only DAG provides a 100% packet capture guarantee.
Getting 100% accurate visibility into 10Gb/s networks is a problem that can only be solved using purpose-built hardware-based systems. Our systems have been proven in independent testing to offer the very highest levels of capture accuracy, timestamping, and analysis, which is why they are trusted by government agencies, large investment banks, and other large corporations all over the world.
Endace visibility solutions are built on top of highly scalable, multi-application capable network monitoring and recording systems deployed from the edge to the core of the network as a ‘fabric.’ Systems are all centrally managed and work together to construct a truly accurate picture of network performance, IT service delivery, and network security threats.
Endace Systems
Endace Systems leverage the power of DAG® I/O technology to ensure 100% capture of all the traffic on your network regardless of your network’s speed, type, or topology. Every Endace System is designed to be centrally managed from a single location (typically a network operations center or a security operations center), with large fabrics often supporting several hundred systems.
There are three different types of Endace System:
- Learn about EndaceProbes™
- Learn about EndaceSensors™
- Learn about EndaceExtremes™
System architecture and capability
Endace Systems are based on a traditional three-layer model comprising commercial off-the-shelf server hardware tightly integrated with proprietary DAG technology, our own proprietary purpose-built operating system and application layer comprising Endace Network Monitoring visibility modules and select third-party applications. EndaceVision sits over the top of the layers to provide the holistic network-wide window into the network through all of the layers below it.
It’s only by controlling, managing, and integrating all the layers of the architecture that a truly predictable solution is designed. Endace Systems support a broad range of different capabilities that help to enhance and improve the visibility that you can get into your network.

Endace Monitoring and Recording Fabrics
A Monitoring and Recording Fabric consists of multiple Endace Systems deployed across a network. Systems are right sized to the network segment to which they are being applied and are set up with the correct visibility monitoring modules and third-party tools pertinent to the visibility requirements.
A common, application-agnostic instrumentation fabric is proven to reduce operational costs, reduce capex expenditure, improve the reliability and predictability of tool outputs, and offer real application agility. Find out more about the business benefits associated with 100% accurate network monitoring and recording.
Systems integration
An Endace Monitoring and Recording Fabric helps to support and feed a number of other systems that organizations use to manage their IT and networking infrastructures. With its flexible and open interfaces, Endace Systems have the ability to feed into a range of other business-critical systems, as well as to add value and extend the life of a range of other systems including higher level network orchestration systems and SIM/SIEM systmes.
