Unmatched Network Performance and Security with Integrated Solutions
PacketMaestro and ExtraHop
E.C.I. Networks’ PacketMaestro optimizes data flow by aggregating, filtering, and balancing network traffic before sending it to ExtraHop’s Reveal(x) platform. This ensures that ExtraHop receives only the most relevant data, enabling it to perform real-time threat detection and deep forensic analysis with maximum efficiency. Together, they provide a powerful solution for comprehensive network visibility, security, and performance monitoring, ensuring that no threat goes undetected while maintaining optimal network performance.
PacketMaestro and FMADIO
FMADIO’s high-performance packet capture systems can capture and store all network traffic, including corrupted packets, at line rate. When integrated with PacketMaestro, FMADIO’s captured data is efficiently managed and routed to monitoring tools, ensuring that all critical data is analyzed. This combination guarantees lossless packet capture with precise timestamping and seamless traffic management, providing organizations with a robust solution for deep packet inspection, security analysis, and network troubleshooting.
