Ipoque and Napatech worked with Dell on a recent product launch for network visibility and security company Lancope, and the details of the collaboration were included in a new case study.
All three companies worked on the launch of the Lancope StealthWatch FlowSensor 4000, which Lancope released in May for security, incident response and troubleshooting in service provider and large enterprise networks. The appliance enabled substantially higher throughput than earlier versions, and Lancope said at release that the 4000 was scalable up to 20 gigabits of sustained bandwidth depending on the environment, application mix and packet sizes.
Lancope’s 4000 product was designed for detecting and preventing attacks in real time, relying on analysis of data flows as a network security approach. Lancope needed to increase the appliance’s performance for Layer 7 visibility and “make this possible on a standard server with full outsourced integration,” according to the case study.
“Dealing with the increasing volume of network traffic and potential security threats is a challenge facing every enterprise and network operator. The challenge is even greater thanks to the trend of encryption, which makes it more difficult to identify Layer 7 applications in real time,” said Eias Daka, head of strategic alliances at Ipoque.
Ultimately, the technical issues were addressed via Napatech accelerators and Ipoque’s Protocol and

Application Classification Engine deep packet inspection software; and Lancope’s long-term relationship with Dell was leveraged for faster time to market, including pre-integration work by Dell working with both Napatech and Ipoque.
Erik Norup, president and CMO at Napatech, called the collaboration “a perfect example of a successful partnership.”
