Half Petabyte in 2U 40G Capture

FMADIO40


Our 40Gbit packet capture device provides an optimal blend of price and features enabling both 40Gbit QSFP native connections and 8x10G capture interfaces using breakout cables. FMADIO40 has both a 1U and 2U form factor based on the total HDD storage retention requirements.

With a price that's a fraction of our competitors, but unlike our competitors we guarantee 100% packet capture.

Line rate 40GbE packet capture - 59.52Mpps

  • Line rate 2 x 40GbE packet generator

  • Simple Web User Interface

  • Fast packet filtering to get to the packets of interest in seconds

  • Easy to use APIs to seamlessly integrate with other tools

  • Three-pane packet decoder to view packets on-box

  • Linux containers support to add analytics of choice

  • FMADIO plugin support for pre-packaged analytics

High Port density 8 x 10G or 8 x 25G native support

  • 8 x 10G or 8 x 25G support using MPO12 breakout cables

  • Both 1U and 2U options based on maximum HDD Storage

  • 480TB storage using our maximum 2U storage option

  • Fully redundant RAID5 storage architecture

  • PTPv2 slave support for accurate timestamps

  • Power Efficient, typically 200W when capturing

  • Corrupt FCS full packet capture

 Slim 1U Power Efficient

Power consumption and power budget is deeply important. As the bulk of the capture workload is offloaded to our custom designed power efficient FPGA, FMADIO20 typically runs around 200W when capturing.

Capture Everything

At FMADIO our motto is “Capture Everything, then Ask Questions”. This gives the maximum flexibility to record all network traffic, then go back in time to answer the Who, What, When and Why questions.

The Ecosystem

We believe FMADIO is one component of a larger ecosystem of hardware, software and services.

Our approach is the Unix Philosophy of "combining small sharp tools to accomplish larger tasks".

One part of your Stack

Having clean and simple interface to FMADIO devices is critical. Our goal is not to replace your infrastructure. Instead interpolate and be One Part of your Stack, and do that exceptionally well.
