TOYO Corporation Unveils Hardware-Accelerated Cybersecurity Solution

TOYO Corporation Unveils Hardware-Accelerated Cybersecurity Solution

Powered by Artificial Intelligence, SYNESIS AURORA Eases Smart Extraction of Massive Network Data and Anomaly Detection

Tokyo, Feb 19, 2020 – TOYO Corporation (TOKYO: 8151), the leading test and measurement company, today announced SYNESIS AURORA, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered platform that’s purpose-built to recognize network anomalies that may otherwise be difficult to detect. The platform is hardware-accelerated and engineered from the bottom-up with advanced hashing and anomaly detection analytics.

Out of the box, SYNESIS AURORA can capture, process, record and analyze over 20 billion bytes of information per second. AURORA detects and identifies anomalies even in the most complex network environments providing engineers with the insight and visibility they require to proactively protect their networks. This week, TOYO Corporation will be showcasing SYNESIS AURORA at RSA 2020 on February 24-28 in San Francisco.

Increasing data rates, evolving standards, virtualization and Software Defined Networking (SDN) have resulted in complex network environments. More than ever, engineers today are confronted with large volumes of traffic rushing in and out of the networks they manage. These network management professionals are keenly aware that it is not humanly possible to “see” today’s networks without advanced tools. And a security breach can occur at any time putting not only the network at risk but also the entire business.

Conventional security appliances are optimized for real-time analysis and typically have limited storage capabilities. This storage limitation prevents them from utilizing machine learning and AI strategies in their product design. In contrast, SYNESIS AURORA is based on a platform not encumbered by limited storage so it does not face the same product design restrictions.

SYNESIS AURORA is the latest member of the TOYO SYNESIS family of network solutions. AURORA supports high-speed data transfer and facilitates anomaly detection and analysis through the power of AI technology. The hallmark of all SYNESIS solutions is the ability to capture and record network data with complete fidelity. SYNESIS AURORA provides deep and broad visibility to enable engineers to monitor network behavior, to detect network anomalies and to protect their networks.

Product Highlights:

  • Intelligent data transfer that captures network traffic and directly streams it to storage without incurring any loss of data
  • Advanced hashing analytics streamlines network data packet analysis, typically a time consuming process
  • Complete forensic system that delivers all the required tools in a single solution

SYNESIS AURORA will ship in early 2021 in a limited version. TOYO Corporation will offer certain customers early access to the product. If interested, please contact TOYO for further information.

Collateral Alert: Network Management Challenges in the 5G Era (new white paper)

Here’s a snippet from our new white paper “Network Management Challenges in the 5G Era.”  “… Given the use cases described above, network engineers
will be challenged on how to collect network packets, a critical data source required for in depth troubleshooting.  The 5G implementation involves splitting the Fronthaul into two segments. The segment between the Control Unit (CU) and Data Unit (DU) is the “Midhaul”. The new “Fronthaul” is now the segment between the DU and Radio Unit (RU)..”

TOYO Corporation Announces 25GbE Packet Capture Appliance for 5G Networks

New SYNESIS Helps Resolve Issues to Ensure Network Quality and Reduce Downtime Risk in Next-Gen Mobile Networks

Tokyo, Feb 19, 2020 – TOYO Corporation, the leading test and measurement company, today announced the launch of a 25GbE portable packet capture appliance specifically engineered to support the new 5G mobile and cellular network standard. With the ability to capture at multiple speeds combined with its portability the SYNESIS Portable 25G is ideal for testing in dispersed environments. It is particularly well-suited for field applications where engineers require complete packet visibility but may face different GbE interfaces and rates. This new offering allows engineers to quickly identify and resolve network issues.

The architecture of 5G networks consists of several standards operating at different Ethernet data rates, ranging from 10GbE to speeds up to 200GbE. Mobile Fronthaul networks often employ fast 25GbE infrastructure and rarely reach their peak speeds. In the 5G era, these Fronthaul networks now are playing an important role in connecting subscribers to a service provider’s core network and on to applications of choice. In between these critical connection points, many things can go wrong during the initial 5G rollouts and post-deployments given the bandwidth load driven by end-user demands. Maintenance engineers must have the tools and knowledge to troubleshoot network issues that lead to downtime and degraded end-user experience.

The SYNESIS Portable is a packet capture appliance that continuously captures data traffic with complete fidelity. This means it records every single packet helping service providers identify and resolve network issues not only quickly but also accurately. As a direct result, service providers can better manage their networks, ensure higher quality connections, eliminate the risk of network downtime and avoid catastrophic financial and reputational damage.

“For more than 60 years, TOYO’s test and measurement solutions have been the choice for many of the world’s leading companies,” said Mitsuru Onodera, Senior VP, Director at TOYO Corporation. “We continue that tradition today with the announcement of the new SYNESIS Portable 25G. Having this important tool in their arsenal will benefit 5G carriers and service providers who need confidence that their networks will continue to operate with peak performance and optimal quality in field deployments. This ultimately results in satisfied and happy customers for both TOYO and for TOYO’s customers.”

The new SYNESIS Portable 25GbE is equipped with the multi-capture ability to operate at any Ethernet speed 1/10/25/40/100GbE and its portable form factor allows for rapid deployment out in the field. Service providers can also streamline their toolset as they do not need to purchase and maintain a myriad of packet capture devices that may only operate at a limited number of data rates.

SYNESIS Portable 25GbE Model Key Advantages

  • 100% High Fidelity Capture: Capture and directly stream to storage without incurring any packet loss
  • Portable: All-in-one, easy to deploy and ship for onsite network packet captures
  • Hardware-Based: Powered by FPGA technology
  • High-speed Extraction: Significantly reduce troubleshooting time
  • eCPRI/PTP/25GbE Bi-Di applicable
