GigaStor is a retrospective network analysis (RNA) solution capable of storing terabytes of packet-level traffic to disk for network analysis on a variety of full-duplex network topologies, including WAN, LAN, Fibre Channel, wireless, gigabit, and 10 Gigabit (10 GbE). This data can be used to analyze network performance, mission-critical connections, and intermittent issues with the GigaStor’s unique time-based navigation utility. When investigating network performance issues, GigaStor eliminates the need to recreate a problem on the network. For investigating network policy violations or compliance issues, GigaStor reassembles packet streams and recreates e-mails, visits to Web sites, IM sessions, and VoIP calls. The appliance performs real-time processing at the probe rather than pulling the packet capture over the network to the console. The GigaStor has a 64-bit core and can capture up to 48 TB, or offload to a SAN.
