Application Filtering with Omnia120
Dealing with the high cost of security & performance monitoring
Network traffic monitoring and analysis for security, compliance and network operations are of key importance for service providers, operators, enterprises and governmental organizations. However, due to the surging traffic volume, the costs of monitoring and security tools are spiralling.
Traffic filtering by application is an excellent choice to release monitoring and security tools from overloading and maximizing the return on investment. Application filtering is useful not only because it makes monitoring less complicated but also eliminates irrelevant traffic, such as that from Social Media or video streaming.
Global online video traffic is more than 80% of the total internet traffic and is anticipated to grow even more.
Usually application filtering per user is an expensive task. At Cubro we have a different approach that provides better return on investment while reducing the cost of monitoring. Our application-based filtering based on Omnia120 is an extremely economical way to reduce traffic and look at the relevant traffic in greater detail.
Technical Solution Overview & Key Use Cases
Omnia120 is a versatile device that combines features of an advanced NPB such as aggregation, L2 to L4 filtering, load-balancing and deduplication with high throughput DPI analytics. Thus, it enables application-based filtering to feed the tools with only the relevant traffic to improve network visibility, tool efficiency and traffic handling while reducing the cost of security & performance monitoring. The application filtering feature of Omnia120 offers full layer 7 visibility and as a result it delivers the right data to the right tools.
Application filtering with high bandwidth
Application filtering with Omnia120 beyond 1 Tbps
In combination with a Cubro Advanced Packet Broker the Omnia120 is a perfect choice for application filtering in Tbits networks.
Omnia120 can be used also in Inline mode, making it possible to remove defined traffic completely.
