Solera Networks brings complete visibility to network events, traffic, and behavior.Solera A solera is a series of barrels or other containers used for aging liquids such as Sherry, Madeira, Marsala, Mavrodafni (a dark-red fortified dessert wine from Greece), Muscat, Muscadelle, Balsamic and Sherry Vinegars. Networks has announced the formal launch of its company, Solera Networks Incorporated. Solera Networks resolves system-level restraints to capture and record all network information, providing complete and reliable knowledge of an enterprise network. Network infrastructure and network-based applications continue to be at the heart of mission critical computing computing - computer . There is heightened urgency to gain full visibility to network traffic, behavior, vulnerabilities, and threatening intrusions. However, the growing number of technologies designed to analyze the flood of increased traffic and optimize optimize - optimisation its flow throughout the network all rely on limited data. Mission-sensitive network policies are based on incomplete and confusing con·fuse v. con·fused, con·fus·ing, con·fus·es v.tr. 1. a.

Solera has developed a suite of network appliances (1) A specialized device for use on a network. For example, Web servers, cache servers and file servers can be implemented as general-purpose computers with the appropriate software or as network appliances, which are computers dedicated to a single function and cannot do anything , system software, and network analytical applications, which capture network traffic at speeds much greater-than gigabit per second, archive and index every packet, and still keep pace with real-time traffic flow. Their products are market tested and are shipping to customers for production use today. Most analysis is done using a finite sampling of network traffic. Network administrators "hope" they are looking at traffic at precisely the right time. If not, they miss out on the context of an event. Solera Networks provides a complete repository of all network traffic, including meta data, log events AND packet payload (1) Refers to the "actual data" in a packet or file minus all headers attached for transport and minus all descriptive meta-data. In a network packet, headers are appended to the payload for transport and then discarded at their destination. . So now analysts and administrators can shift the timeframe of their analysis. Reconstructing patterns and behaviors deliver absolute clarity, not statistically unreliable inferences. And the analysis can be done at any time, when the customer decides, not when the network dictates. Solera Networks integrate seamlessly with a company's existing network management and forensics See computer forensics. applications and only enhances them by given them full contextual review of all traffic events. The Solera DS Series is a suite of Linux-based, high performance network packet recorder appliances designed to capture and archive network traffic onto a scalable, infinite, disk based (1) Refers to devices that use magnetic hard disks for storage.

Solera Networks is pleased to welcome several Value-Added Resellers A value-added reseller (VAR) is a company that adds some feature(s) to an existing product(s), then resells it (usually to end-users) as an integrated product or complete "turn-key" solution. to its fold. Partners and the partner program will soon be announced in upcoming notices. Additionally, Solera Networks has enjoyed tremendous market validation with several customers using its products in full production mode. Targeted for Global 2000 data centers, Solera Networks gives complete and reliable knowledge of an enterprise network and provides forensically sound audit capabilities. Lane Livingston, President of Fibernet says, "We use the Solera DS Series to create an access audit of all flows in and out of our customer's data. As a premier hosting service, we must ensure the integrity of our network. We are now able to provide complete assurance to our customers of the integrity of our hosting services. And we do it with complete historic perspective." |
