5 reasons to buy Endace
At 1Gb/s plus, the hardware is the difference that makes the difference. Our systems are built from the ground (hardware) up and are used as the hosting platform for a wide range of monitoring and security tools. Our systems are unique because:
- They are built using proprietary DAG technology which is proven to capture every packet at line rate from any network interface at speeds up to 100Gb/s
- They are designed from the ground up to host more than one application at a time, and in so doing breaking the one-to-one client server to application relationship that has existed for the last 15 years
- They come in a range of different shapes, sizes and configurations that enables them to be deployed as a centrally managed fabric from the edge to the core of the network
- They come with a suite of application pre-installed that yield immediate value and meet the fundamental cyber security and network monitoring needs of every high-speed network
- They are supported with an eco-system of third-party application providers that have joined our Application Dock Partner Programme
Why Endace?
“If you haven’t got every packet, then any analysis that you do is pointless”. - Endace customer
For organisations that rely on their network for business, intelligence or communication, having complete visibility into exactly what’s happening inside the network is crucial. 5 years’ ago low-level visibility into the network would have been a ‘nice to have’. In today’s climate it’s mission critical. For the sorts of organisations that we do business with, the consequences of the network failing, or customer data being stolen have the potential to be catastrophic.
Organisations use a range of different tools to get visibility into different aspects of the network. They include intrusion detection and data loss prevention tools for cyber security, analytics tools for visualising and analysing network traffic flows and application performance monitoring tools to measure the performance of mission critical apps.
These tools have two things in common:
- They require a dedicated piece of hardware to host them, which consumes scarce rack space, heat and power
- The hardware that they use is prone to packet loss - particularly at line rates above 2Gb/s. They suffer from what we call ‘packet capture’s inconvenient truth’.
These two factors are causing organisations a significant amount of pain. They don’t have the space to accommodate any more hardware and they know that the tools that they have got aren’t giving them the visibility that they need.
To borrow a phrase from one of our largest customers “if you haven’t got every packet then any analysis that you do is pointless”. Put that another way: your network security system dropping packets is like the metal detector at the airport skipping people when the line gets too long.
