Network Monitoring Solutions Increasingly Relied Upon for Checking Advancing Technology

Network monitoring is more important than ever with recent advances in technology. The monitoring solutions generally watch over computer networks to see if something is not working properly, and reports any outages, so they can be remedied quickly.

One company, Interface Masters Technologies, provides a product called PacketMaster, a hardware load balancer, which helps with aggregation, filtering, load balancing and monitoring of traffic.

Diving into how the company’s products are used in network monitoring, TMC CERO Rich Tehrani sat down with Interface Masters Technologies President Ehud Yuhjtman.

In a related matter, Interface Masters recently launched its Traffic Navigator. It provides programmable Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) application and management. The company also announced that the Niagara 5010 is a 2U networking appliance. It supports 40G and 10G ports, and is used for high-speed applications. It has applications in network security, monitoring, surveillance, web filtering, traffic enforcement, cyber security, content management, policy enforcement and network intelligence, the company said.

“Interface Masters is proud to announce a first-of-its kind Programmable Traffic Navigator system to address the growing granularity, flexibility and horsepower required of network appliances that address the network security, forensics, monitoring, and deep packet inspection markets,” Ben Askarinam, founder and CEO of Interface Masters Technologies, said in a press release. “Niagara 5010 and associated Network Processing Boards (NPB) ensure the heavy demands of network applications are met at 320Gb line-rates while providing the flexibility to process applications on a variety of multi-core CPU-based blades.”
