SP Insight “Brings Data Relevancy to the Table” Enabling Faster, More
Informed Business Decisions
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 17, 2017--
Arbor
Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT),
today announced that leading global industry analyst firm Ovum has
published a research note on 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 and large network operators, rely on Arbor Networks’ SP platform
for network-wide visibility, DDoS detection, forensics, traffic
engineering, advanced peering and transit analysis. Arbor SP helps these
customers maintain peak service performance and availability, protect
their infrastructure, 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 users have been our core customer base for over 15 years. We
understand their challenges and have designed SP Insight to empower them
to make more informed decisions faster. For example, SP Insight’s
network context and high fidelity record of traffic enables security
analysts to quickly deconstruct and understand past attacks, targets and
indicators, allowing them to better prepare for future events,” said
Talbot Hack, Arbor Networks Director of Product Management for DDoS &
ISP Network Visibility.
Ovum: Arbor Networks adds big data analytics to the SP portfolio
According
to Ovum, Arbor SP Insight “will provide Arbor users with the big data
and analytical capabilities needed to work more effectively with their
network and threat data. The data lake side of the SP Insight operation
will add long-term storage of flow data and allow multi-dimensional,
visual analysis across the data management lifecycle. It will provide
the capacity to store raw data for as long as needed and support both
real-time and historical analysis. The complete solution will be
delivered using a common central console approach for SP and SP Insight,
and will offer the single-pane-of-glass methodology that enterprise
organizations require.”
