COPENHAGEN, Denmark,
Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Napatech (OSE: NAPA) today released the latest
addition to its "Time to ReThink" whitepaper series, addressing the
rapid growth in data volume and complexity facing network equipment
manufacturers. In "Time to ReThink SDN and NFV Performance," the
company argues that virtualization-aware appliances provide the
real-time insight into network traffic necessary for effective
management and orchestration of software-defined networking (SDN)
and network functions virtualization (NFV). Analysis acceleration
is a critical component in appliance performance, as it provides
guaranteed data capture and delivery at speeds up to 100 Gbps.
The ability to ensure reliable, real-time data for management
and analytics is essential in the high-speed environment of SDN and
NFV.
- Management a key challenge for SDN/NFV
deployment: Deploying SDN and NFV effectively depends upon
real-time network insight into IP traffic, which requires
nanosecond-precision analysis at speeds of 10, 40 and even 100
Gbps.
- Virtualization-aware appliances provide
the solution: These physical appliances monitor and secure
virtual networks and provide the insight to enable event-driven
automation of policy decisions and real-time reaction to those
events, thereby allowing SDN controllers and NFV management to
administer and secure networks.
- Analysis acceleration essential to SDN/NFV
performance: Appliances that are based on commercial
off-the-shelf servers with standard network interface cards are not
designed for continuous capture of large amounts of data. Analysis
accelerators are required for the nanosecond precision needed in
real-time monitoring.
- Napatech accelerators enable flexible,
scalable network applications:
- By using Napatech accelerators in commercial off-the-shelf
servers, network equipment manufacturers can build appliances that
provide intelligent analysis.
- Products range from 1 to 100 Gbps, enabling analysis of
applications and services through guaranteed data delivery and
nanosecond time-stamping resolution.

Peter Ekner, VP of product
management, Napatech, said:
"The high-speed complexity of
tomorrow's networks presents numerous performance challenges for
network equipment manufacturers as SDN and NFV are increasingly
deployed. The ability to ensure real-time data for management and
analytics is critical. Napatech accelerators enable the tools to
make this possible, while also reducing time-to-market and risk for
our customers."
About Napatech
Napatech is the world leader in
accelerating network management and security applications. As data
volume and complexity grow, the performance of these applications
needs to stay ahead of the speed of networks in order to do their
jobs. We make this possible, for even the most demanding financial,
telecom, corporate and government networks. Now and in the future,
we enable our customers' applications to run faster than the
networks they need to manage and protect.
