Enables Deeper and Wider Network Insights for Faster, More Informed
Business Decisions
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 6, 2016--
Arbor
Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT),
today announced Arbor SP Insight, a new software-based extension to its
Arbor Networks SP platform (Arbor SP) that dramatically expands and
enhances network operators’ traffic analytics and distributed
denial-of-service (DDoS) attack forensics capabilities.
The majority of the world’s internet service providers, along with data
center operators and large network operators, rely on Arbor Networks’ SP
platform for network-wide visibility, DDoS detection, traffic
engineering and advanced peering and transit analysis. Arbor SP helps
these customers maintain peak service performance and availability,
intelligently expand their network capacity, understand their
operational costs and uncover new service opportunities.
With the launch of Arbor SP Insight, operators can further enhance their
network visibility and make more informed operational, security and
business decisions faster than ever before. Arbor SP Insight adds
powerful new visual analytics and a big data repository to Arbor SP
while preserving Arbor’s unique flow annotations and enrichment – giving
users an infinitely searchable photographic memory of their traffic data
with essential network context. Arbor SP Insight’s all-new interactive
user interface tightly integrates with existing Arbor SP workflows for a
near-zero learning curve and unified user experience, so users have the
power and freedom to explore their data and reach conclusions faster and
more intuitively.
“For years, service providers and global network operators have relied
on Arbor SP for traffic visibility, capacity planning, and peering
relationships, not to mention DDoS protection, and for these folks, the
network is the business,” said Rik Turner, senior analyst at Ovum. “With
the big data analytics capabilities of Arbor SP Insight, customers will
now be able to understand what’s happening on their network like never
before. We expect the ability to customize searches and report
functionality within Arbor SP Insight to have an impact across the
entire organization, from the C-suite to services and marketing teams,
and of course, network and security operations.”
Network Performance Optimization
Arbor SP Insight enables
service providers and global network operators to research impaired
network performance events and reduce time to resolution of future
events by quickly conducting wide-ranging and fine-grained root cause
analysis on large sets of un-aggregated traffic data. Customers can also
perform ‘What if’ analysis on their peering and transit traffic, driving
new discoveries and proactive capacity planning and backbone engineering
decisions that reduce costs and increase revenues.
DDoS Attack Forensics
Arbor’s unique flow annotations and
enrichment create crucial context by matching Arbor SP Insight’s memory
to Arbor SP’s knowledge of network topology, customers and traffic
patterns – enabling users to conduct agile, multi-dimensional searches
of their raw and enriched data with unlimited filtering, the ability to
maintain granularity over time, detailed retrospective drill-downs and
effortless pivots from graphical to tabular visualizations – all while
maintaining state on the event and period of interest.
“Arbor SP Insight transforms an Arbor SP deployment into a rich data
lake users can explore at the speed of thought to improve their overall
network visibility, application and service performance. Arbor SP
Insight’s flexible, unlimited and multi-dimensional analytics engine can
answer a multitude of business questions, and uncover new insights about
traffic and the underlying network. It stores all network flows, both
raw and annotated, for as long as the customer needs to retain them for
real-time or historical, unstructured analysis. You are limited only by
your own imagination and the amount of disk space you allocate,” said
Talbot Hack, Arbor Networks Director of Product Management for DDoS &
ISP Network Visibility.
