Solarflare 1000 Series SolarCapture

SolarCapture is a flexible, powerful suite of systems that enables network and application performance management, data visibility and real time monitoring. It achieves this through its high performance, software-based lossless packet and flow capture and storage platform, supporting data rates of up to 40 GbE. With its open and disaggregated architecture, available in a cloud-ready variety of server-based (SolarCapture Appliance) and software and adapter bundles (SolarCapture System), users have complete flexibility and control over the solution deployment, from real time data analysis through to feeding third party analytics and security applications. Optimized for fast data retrieval and rapid querying, SolarCapture provides a future-proof option for a range of data-intensive applications, with a unique cost model that combines maximum flexibility with minimal return on investment time.

• Lossless capture, focused on getting raw frames from the wire to disk without loss, with deep burst buffering
• Optimization for simultaneous packet apture and query, with data available to third party applications via either the SolarCapture Libpcap or SolarCapture C API
• Heavily optimized network capture path from multiple ports at all valid frame sizes, with hardware time-stamping of Ethernet packets for maximum precision and accuracy
• Detailed flow and conversation statistics, with flow indices created and maintained through parsing Layer 2, 3 and 4 headers, with information displayed in sortable tabular form
• Management capability with start/stop capture per port, rotation of capture files and application of filters
• Configurable Syslog and SNMP alerts on frame errors, frame drops, microbursts, transceiver light levels and link statistics, with alert conditions and reporting
• Selection of query outputs from charts, tables or raw PCAP records, with error and event overlays displayed on charts
