WildPackets and Solera Networks Partner; Alliance Yields Affordably Priced Forensics Storage Solution with Unprecedented Speed, Capacity of Data Capture.WALNUT CREEK Walnut Creek, residential city (1990 pop. 60,569), Contra Costa co., W Calif., in the San Francisco Bay area; inc. 1914. It is the trade and shipping center of an extensive agricultural area where walnuts are among the major product. , Calif. -- WildPackets Inc., innovators in advanced network analysis and 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, developers of high-performance network packet recorder appliances jointly announced their alliance, to deliver a high-speed, high-volume, low-cost data capture and mining solution to the enterprise. Coupling WildPackets' Omnipliance(TM) with the Solera DS Series network packet recorder platform enables high-speed capture, stream aggregation from two or more sources, regeneration to one or multiple devices, and indexed storage for data mining and forensics See computer forensics. . The Omnipliance distributed network analysis appliance is optimized end-to-end for Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. and WAN analysis, and sends real-time analytics and monitoring results to a central OmniPeek console. The Solera DS Series is a suite of "stream-to-disk" network packet recorder appliances that blows away the gigabit barrier. Using groundbreaking technology, Solera Networks' devices capture, archive, and regenerate network traffic data at unprecedented rates. Packet capture and storage to the hard disk subsystem, not just RAM, is in excess of 300 MegaBytes per second (unit) megabytes per second - (MBps, MB/s) Millions of bytes per second. A unit of data rate. 1 MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes per second (not 1,048,576). , the equivalent of well over 2 Gigabits per second, on a sustained basis. The open platform provides seamless, native integration with Linux applications (such as Snort An open source network intrusion detection system (NIDS) that is noted for its effectiveness. Developed by Martin Roesch, Snort can also be used just as a packet logger or packet sniffer. For more information, visit www.snort.org. See IDS. IDS) and devices, near immediate packet regeneration for live expert analysis by the WildPackets Omni DNX DNX Departmental Network eXchange DNX Dynamic Network X-connect DNX Domain Name Exchange Engine, and support for native WildPackets file formats. The user can recall packet captures from any time and date from up to 128 Terabytes of collected data (the hard disk subsystem acts like a giant first-in, first-out first-in, first-out n. A method of inventory accounting in which the oldest remaining items are assumed to have been the first sold. In a period of rising prices, this method yields a higher ending inventory, a lower cost of goods sold, a higher gross data buffer In computing, a buffer is a region of memory used to temporarily hold data while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a keyboard) or just before it is sent to an output device (such ), making for an excellent data mining and forensics tool. Filters (such as a particular IP address) may also be applied to post-capture packets, allowing selected data to be read and analyzed by OmniPeek over a greater time span. "Building a preferred partnership with WildPackets creates a unified solution that leapfrogs current offerings available in the marketplace today. We believe that, together, we deliver unprecedented visibility to network traffic behavior. Our mutual customers stand to benefit in a reduction of total cost-of-ownership, decreased risk and vulnerability, and increased response time in network troubleshooting and prevention," said Steve Jones, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Solera Networks. According to J. Scott Haugdahl, WildPackets CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. , "The combined Solera and Omni platform provides far more flexibility than just a distributed long term packet store and packet analysis solution. The ability to aggregate streams from multiple NICs and regenerate the traffic to different ports can also replace many TAP applications and allow multiple tools, such as IDS appliances, to co-exist side-by-side with Omni, with zero additional investment in specialized hardware."
