V5021 Network Monitoring Card
Dual 10GbE and 1GbE Network Monitoring Solution
Overview
With always-on network connectivity becoming an essential part of the social and business fabric, the infrastructure and equipment for wireless and wired networks is challenged to meet increasing bandwidth and security demands and more sophisticated revenue-generating service requirements. Furthermore, as recent years have demonstrated, network traffic patterns can change daily as well as over the course of months, as business and social use trends dramatically shift or gradually evolve. To successfully meet these security and service challenges, operators require a means of quickly respond to evolving network dynamics.
The V5021 network monitoring card provides the performance required to inspect traffic on 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. Its built-in Deep Packet Inspection technology enables sustained line rate traffic classification, filtering, and capture. But what enables this technology to be rapidly programmed to perform and scale with your evolving application needs is the expressXG™ Framework - an integrated, powerful and yet elegantly simple programming framework that provides high-level APIs.
The expressXG Framework running on the V5021, provides four main features:
- Programmability – rapidly create applications or expand system functionality by using a high-level API and software modules
- Dynamic Configurability – change system functionality dynamically, running different target applications on the same platform
- Data Management – advanced high-performance real-time data transfer capabilities include load balancing, zero-copy DMA and multi-core multi-thread processor support
- Traffic Processing – achieve effective traffic monitoring using protocol specific software modules such as statistics, advanced filtering, and HTTP
Benefits
- Enables rapid deployment of network monitoring applications
