High-Speed StealthWatch FlowCollector 4000 Launched By Lancope

Lancope, Inc. is one of the leaders in flow-based security, network and application performance monitoring. The company recently launched the StealthWatch FlowCollector 4000, which is one of the fastest flow collectors on the market. The FlowCollector (FC) 4000 is highly scalable to meet the needs of any enterprise and significantly boosts network visibility, performance and security. The FlowConnector increases the maximum monitoring capacity of the StealthWatch System to 3 million flows per second (fps).

In a release, Mike Potts, president and CEO of Lancope, said that "The use of flow data within the enterprise is quickly rising. More and more network and security vendors are adding support for flow data to their devices, while leading global commercial and government enterprises are realizing the value of the data and expanding its use within their environments. With the new FlowCollector 4000, Lancope is staying ahead of this explosive growth by providing a collector that can effectively analyze these tremendous amounts of flow data to provide in-depth, actionable network intelligence. With the vanishing of the network perimeter comes an increasing need for internal protection mechanisms to adequately safeguard performance and security. Leveraging flow data through enterprise-ready solutions like StealthWatch, organizations can successfully achieve end-to-end network insight for faster, more informed decision making."

Apart from providing NetFlow support in its Catalyst 3000 and 4000 Series Switches, Cisco (News - Alert) Systems has also offered the NetFlow support in its Catalyst 6500 Series Switch through the Supervisor Engine 2T. Now, the 6500 Series supports an unprecedented level of NetFlow data for a single system.

Adam Powers, CTO of Lancope, said that "Being such a robust and powerful device, Cisco was unsure whether any flow collectors on the market would be able to successfully process the extraordinary amount of flow data now produced by the 6500 Series. However, knowing that Lancope prides itself on scalability, Cisco worked with us to test our respective systems, and the FC 4000 was able to seamlessly collect and analyze all of the flow data exported by their switch."

StealthWatch provides customers with a detailed view of what is going on in the network at any given time and addresses increasing demands being placed on corporate infrastructure which happens due to IT consumerization, user mobility, cloud computing, live telepresence and streaming video.
