NIKSUN adds 10G monitoring capability to Puma Portable Appliance

Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, October 19th, 2009 — NIKSUN Inc., a premier provider of high-end real-time enterprise network surveillance solutions, is pleased to announce that its renowned portable network monitoring solution, Puma, is now capable of monitoring networks at 10 GigE speeds. The incorporation of real-time 10G monitoring to the Puma feature-set enhances the already excellent value that Puma provides to customers, making it the go-to portable monitoring and forensics tool for network professionals on the field.

NIKSUN Puma allows organizations to leverage NIKSUN's state-of-the-art network performance, security and compliance monitoring technology as a robust luggable appliance that can be conveniently used in the field. Travel-friendly, Puma easily fits into airplane cabin overhead compartments or can be checked as standard baggage.

Puma offers the exceptional functionality of NIKSUN's renowned solutions to field-personnel and deploys in a few short steps, enabling on-site analysis with localized recording and analysis. Data can be monitored at 10 Gigabit speeds and with terabytes of storage. Although the primary function of Puma is holistic network monitoring and troubleshooting, sufficient data can be gathered over days or weeks to help with security forensics, lawful intercept, policy compliance monitoring, capacity planning, bandwidth management, latency monitoring and benchmarking.

"Our SI (System Integrators), ISP (Internet Service Providers), MSP (Managed Service Providers), Enterprise and DoD (Department of Defense) customers have been asking for the power of NetVCR® and NetDetector® in a portable form factor,” said Karl Schaub, Director of Product Management at NIKSUN, Inc. “We had already responded to their requests earlier this year with the introduction of two Puma models - a large capacity system and a rugged unit adhering to Mil Specs [MIL-A-8625E Type II/III]. However, this latest enhancement of monitoring at 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds is just another example of NIKSUN’s highly-regarded dedication towards customers.”
