Procera and Napatech solutions provide the highest level of performance, reduce time-to-market and risk, and increase ROI for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Procera and Napatech enable OEM clients such as Savvius to focus on core competencies and deliver industry-leading solutions to customers.


    --  Visualizing, analyzing and troubleshooting performance bottlenecks -
        Savvius embeds Procera's NAVL software engine into all of its products:
        Omnipliance hardware, OmniPeek software and the recently introduced
        Savvius Vigil security forensics appliance. This integration allows its
        customers to classify applications in real time and gather information
        to better understand what is going on in the network.
        --  Omnipliance is a family of network analysis and capture appliances
            that provide forensic analysis of past events to enable detailed
            network monitoring, recording and troubleshooting in today's
            high-speed network environments.
        --  OmniPeek provides an intuitive user interface and "top-down"
            approach to visualizing network conditions. Engineers can quickly
            analyze, drill down into and fix performance bottlenecks across
            multiple network segments, maximizing uptime and improving end-user
            satisfaction.
        --  Savvius Vigil provides intelligent, long-term storage of network
            packets most likely to be useful in future security incident
            investigations.
    --  Combined solution provides industry-leading DPI functionality - Savvius
        has been leveraging Napatech accelerators to capture, timestamp, filter,
        and slice packets for several years. Procera's NAVL is a next-generation
        DPI software engine that provides real-time, Layer-7 classification of
        network traffic. The combination of these two solutions enables Savvius
        to easily integrate industry-leading DPI functionality into its OmniPeek
        network analyzer for a single and seamless view of Layer 4-7 network
        traffic and applications at blazing speeds. Other features include:
        --  Deep-packet inspection engine for application classification and
            troubleshooting solution that provides an intuitive, easy-to-use
            graphical interface that allows engineers to rapidly analyze and
            troubleshoot high-speed networks.
        --  Granular, real-time visibility into network traffic and applications
            at high speeds, which is critical for analyzing and troubleshooting
            today's networks. Savvius can now provide superior security and
            management capabilities.
        --  Access to application information such as bandwidth, distribution,
            response time and other details to troubleshoot performance issues
            as they arise.

Procera's NAVL is a next-generation DPI software engine that provides real-time, Layer 4-7 classification of network traffic. Running on all popular processors and operating systems, NAVL allows integrators to remain focused on their core competencies while implementing industry-leading DPI functionality in their products.

"As networks are becoming faster and more complex, it is critical that our solutions continue to capture, record, and analyze traffic in real time with zero packet loss," said Mandana Javaheri, chief technology officer, Savvius. "We evaluated several deep packet inspection product vendors and decided to embed Procera's NAVL into our platform because of its performance, number of classified applications, accuracy, and relevant metadata. Savvius has been using Napatech's accelerators to timestamp, filter, slice, and capture packets, as well as to provide real-time statistics, for many years now. The combination of our technology with Procera's NAVL and Napatech's accelerators forms a compelling solution for real-time application-aware network analysis and forensics."

"In today's ultra-fast networks, the impact of traffic and application problems is not easily separable and the resulting congestion makes networks appear sluggish, causing critical applications such as VoIP, WEB, ERP and CRM to slow down significantly," said Derek Lownsbrough, vice president of engineering at Procera. "Without real-time, granular visibility into both traffic and applications, end-users feel the symptoms of congestion but don't see the causes. NAVL provides insight into problematic conditions, as well as their locations, speeding up the analysis of network segments that present security or performance risks, resulting in an improved end-user experience for Savvius' enterprise customers."

"High bit-rate applications, data traffic and the bandwidth used to deliver them are constantly expanding, while network congestion and application latency increase as data travels farther between locations," said Henrik Brill Jensen, CEO, Napatech. "Napatech accelerators help OEMs such as Savvius stay ahead of this data growth curve while providing them with the ability to quickly analyze and troubleshoot network management and security applications."
