Don’t wait until your network is overloaded!

Network Recording as an insurance policy

If you have a growing customer base, your network will grow.  Not if but when.  You can equate it to a fast moving train but just around the bend could be trouble, most minor but some can be catastrophic to your business: too many users, inefficient applications, faulty hardware, security attacks, etc.

Are your network tools ready?  If not, consider a network recorder.

Network Recorders have typically been synonymous with network monitoring tools.  Packets from these recorders produce real-time statistics and analysis.   But what happens when these tools cannot keep up when Ethernet rates climb past 10Gb/s and up to 100Gb/s?  When you can’t analyze network issues, related costs can quickly cascade to loss of business.  What if network data can be recorded, not just for real-time statistics and analysis, but for insuring missed network events from the past few minutes, hours, or days can still be addressed?  That’s what  dedicated network recording solutions provide.  They complement your current network toolkit and as long as your tools understand Wireshark PCAP formatted files, which most do, then any missed event can still be analyzed.  Don’t wait for your network to blow up your monitoring tools.

Don’t settle for less when it comes to packets. As they say, “Packets don’t lie!”

Network Engineers are faced challenged with ever increasing Ethernet traffic rates, even up to 100Gb/s and beyond.  It’s unavoidable as the user base grows, IoT proliferates, and media rich applications demand higher network bandwidth.  Network engineers that depend on packet capture for troubleshooting data face a huge dilemma…packet loss with current legacy capture solutions.  Yet most network monitoring vendors aren’t providing adequate solution updates.  Instead, their responses to your need are typically: “What for” and “Why”?  Those same vendors will give you plenty of excuses of not needing packets anymore while steering you to try their new non-packet or packet sampling solutions.  Why?

The real reason for the lack of support is they simply CAN”T DO IT!  We say, “It is indeed possible to capture at 100G without losing packets.”   At TOYO, we didn’t settle for less when it comes to packet capture.  In the next few days I’ll explain how we use specialized hardware and patent pending software in providing you complete packet data for analysis.

SYNESIS is the only packet capture solution in the market capable of capturing up to 100Gb/s, continuously and without packet loss.
