Intrusion Prevention Appliance with Napatech In-Line Adapters

Cost effective platform for Intrusion Prevention Appliances (IPS)

Napatech has demonstrated full 10G IPS at several industry events using normal network traffic profile on a standard dual socket server with medium speed CPUs.
This proves that a high performance system can be built using standard off-the-shelf servers and open source software, such as Snort or Suricata.

Key features for IPS

• Scale performance with faster CPUs
• Scale with efficient data distribution
• Build cost effective IPS based on Snort and Suricata

Improve intrusion detection with zero packet loss

The Napatech network adapters capture all packets of all sizes with zero packet loss. This means that nothing is missed by the IPS application.

Performance improvement opportunity with faster and more CPU cores

Standard servers improve performance typically 60% per year. Take advantage of this performance growth to improve IPS appliance performance using Napatech network adapters.

Scale malware detection

The Napatech network adapters classify packets in real-time and use hash keys for sorting traffic according to source, destination, ports and protocols. The adapter can identify and distribute flows to multiple CPU cores. The benefit is efficient distribution so that the IPS application can perform fast analysis on flows.
