Gearbit announces new releases for its award-winning 10Gbps gearbox protocol analyzer line

Cost effective 1, 10, 20, 40 Gigabit (1Gbps, 10Gbps, 20Gbps, 40Gbps), stream to disk data recorder-packet analyzer and does critical network analysis at the packet level, allowing quicker identification of the root cause. Plowing through the “needle in the hay stack” to speed your analysis in identifying the issue at hand.

AUSTIN, Texas – January 7, 2012 – Gearbit, a comprehensive network tools and service company, today announced the release of high performance network capture of its award-winning gearbox protocol analyzer product line. Gearbox is a cost effective network solution of protocol analyzers equipped with a  intelligent network adapters, can capture, analyze and transmit in real-time at speeds from 1 to 40 Gbps, at zero packet loss. The packet engine can then inspect packets in the network stream, examining it for potential issues, and provides detailed anomaly alarms. The notification anomaly log entry can be maintained for the proper analyst, or forwarded to a central depository sys-log server for event management.

The new protocol analyzer models features intelligent network adapters can capture, analyze, stream to disk, and transmit in real-time at speeds from 1 to 40 Gbps (Gigabit), at zero packet loss no matter the packet size and controller from a Web interface for immediate access.

 

“Our customers tell us the gearbox protocol analyzer has been a huge help to network analysts needing deep packet inspection for potential issues and predefined anomalies,” said Ray Tompkins, founder of gearbit. “These new protocol analyzer models will provide additional flexibility for networking professionals, allowing them to customize a network analysis solution for their specific technical and financial needs.”

 

Unique Needs

Not all networks are alike, each having their own unique design, network equipment and applications. Even the way a network is deployed varies, making the protocol analyzing equipment and software crucial for managing the needs and uses of each one. As network advancements continue, including moving most network applications to the cloud, design changes can require more processing to be done either at the client end or within the cloud itself.

Protocol anomaly detection and analysis

  • Packet content searching/matching
  • Detects a variety of attacks, probes, buffer overflows, stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, and much more.
  • Uses a flexible rules language to describe traffic that it should collect or pass

Utilizes a detection engine with a modular plug-in architecture to optimize performance

  • Sort network traffic according to many protocols
  • Show network traffic sorted by various criteria
  • Display traffic statistics
  • Store on disk persistent traffic statistics in RRD format
  • Identify the identity (e.g. email address) of computer users
  • Passively (i.e. without sending probe packets) identify the host OS
  • Show IP traffic distribution among various protocols
  • Analyze IP traffic
  • Display IP Traffic Subnet matrix
  • Report IP protocol usage sorted by protocol

Act as a NetFlow/sFlow collector for flows generated by routers (e.g. Cisco and Juniper)

The gearbox allows you to:

  • Monitor your network with the latest monitoring software
  • Proactively analyze and catch any problems before they affect the users
  • Transfer knowledge-work with your IT staff to provide continuing education and support
  • Expertly assess your networking needs and continue to evaluate and improve your networks performance

The gearbox is equipped with a packet engine that inspects every packet for potential issues and provides accurate, detailed alarms defining the problem.

  • Knowledge transfer

TRAINING

Our goal is to provide knowledge transfer and a detailed view of protocols and how they flow through the network. The goal of this course is to empower the analyst with advanced troubleshooting techniques. This view through an analyzer reveals the true state of the network and the engineering that supports popular technology. Key concepts covered include:

  • A review of packet traces that have problems at various layers of the OSI
  • Proper client and server configurations
  • Application analysis accurately measuring response time
  • Performance effectiveness
  • How to report the results
