Extending the reach of intelligent data sources to wherever pervasive, detailed packet analysis and historical back-in-time analysis is needed in the network

The nGenius® InfiniStream® appliance delivers highly scalable intelligent deep packet capture and analysis capabilities for the long-term storage and retrieval of network packets and statistics.The nGenius InfiniStream appliances offer multi-core high performance processing to enable local, distributed analysis of packets to support intelligent capabilities such as voice quality analysis, and the generation of Extended Data Records (xDRs). nGenius InfiniStream appliances are deployed where detailed packet analysis and historical back-in-time analysis is needed. Because the nGenius InfiniStream appliance continually stores packets to disk, it provides the native packet records to go back in time to understand exactly how networked applications interrelate and to troubleshoot problems as they happen. Packet and statistical data from nGenius InfiniStream appliances can be leveraged in a standalone analysis mode or as a dedicated data source to enable the nGenius Service Assurance Solution.

nGenius InfiniStream 7900 Series
The nGenius InfiniStream 7900 Series appliance is unique to the industry with its deep packet capture, analysis capabilities, modularity, extensive storage options (32 TB to 96 TB) and small form factor (3RU to 9RU max). With even greater performance and storage capacity than the 6900 series, the nGenius InfiniStream 7900 Series appliance is designed for Service Provider environments, core data centers and other sites that have 10 GbE interfaces and vast storage requirements. Since it comes in a modular format, the 7900 Series can expand as needs grow.

nGenius InfiniStream 6900 Series
The industry standard for packet flow intelligent deep packet capture and analysis technology. Optimized for speed, performance, and resilience, the 6900 Series provides storage capacity up to 16 TB (in a single hardware-based appliance), redundant power and RAID storage, hot-swappable drives and power supplies, and supports high-capacity links up to 10 GbE.

nGenius InfiniStream 2900 Series
A small-footprint intelligent deep packet capture and analysis appliance optimized for lower-utilized links and sized to fit in space-constrained locations. These models include 500 GB of storage for lower capacity links such as in the access layer or where traffic volumes are lower.
