FMADIO integrates with Arista 7130 Series for 25G packet capture
Arista’s new 7130 Series 25G systems enable customers to upgrade networks to 25G Ethernet and are fully supported by FMADIO enterprise-grade appliances with the ability of full line rate 10G, 25G, 40G and 100G packet capture to disk.
STAC Asia - Capturing OPRA with ease
FMADIO Presented at at STAC Asia conference hosted by the Singapore Stock Exchange. We discussed capturing the OPRA feed with ease and how to push that data downstream.
When is Packet Capture not just Packet Capture?
Packet Capture is the start of network visibility. FMADIO provides packet capture and then the next level of network visibility.
Push Compressed Realtime 1min OPRA Multicast PCAP
Push downstream OPRA 7TB Capture pseudo-realtime split by 1min per multicast group and compress x3 in the process.
Self Encrypting Drives - Everything You Need to Know
What is a Self Encrypting Drive? There’s a lot of misleading information about self-encrypting drives. Hopefully this post can clarify that without all the fazzle by looking at it from a purely functional point of view.
Raspberry Pi Network Monitor in AWS
Following on from the previous post, FMADIO-MINI is an ultra-low-cost but effective raspberry pi packet capture device suitable for capturing 100Mbps to sub-1Gbps links. That’s fantastic you have all this PCAP data, but who cares? Not a lot of people, to be perfectly honest, thus enter “PCAP2JSON”.
PCAP2JSON is a fully developed and production-proven network monitoring system that takes PCAP as an input and outputs half duplex snapshotted flows in JSON format. Think of it as a bit like the following.
Raspberry Pi Packet Capture
Hands up, who has a Raspberry PI? Betting that’s quite a few hands as it’s a fantastic bit of hardware and software.
Hands up, who wants to burn an SD Card to get a Raspberry Pi Packet Capture and an awesome Layer 2 - 4 plus GeoIP network monitoring tool and an IDS?
Yes, we at FMADIO have built exactly that, and it’s FREE!
PCAP Push Downstream
Our FMADIO 100Gbps does full line rate 100Gbps 149Mpps without loss, but so what? Capturing the data without loss is only the start, making network recorder traffic accessible beyond a Wireshark session is just as, if not more important.
