EndaceFlow NGA: Security Operations
Consumer Electronics/Content Provider Uses Lancope and
EndaceFlow to Improve Security Incident Response Times
Business problem: As the customer increased deployment of 10GbE in
their data centers, they needed to improve their security monitoring
capabilities and significantly reduce their incident response time and costs.

performance and high costs impacted the amount of monitoring they could
deploy. They also found that the sampled nature of the data hindered the
response teams ability to resolve issues quickly.

EndaceFlow NGA: Network Operations
Internet Service Provider Utilizes EndaceFlow NGA and
Arbor Networks to Improve Internet Delivery
Business problem: A leading internet company was deploying a “fiber to
home” capability in a large US city, and needed the capability to determine if
they were meeting customer SLAs by using NetFlow information. To do this,
they had to be able to generate real-time NetFlow records from sliced
packets originating on a 100Gb/s border gateway. The solution had to work
with the Arbor Networks PeakFlow™ NetFlow collector.
Products deployed:
– 7xEndaceFlow™ 3040 NetFlow Generator Appliance
