The NetQuest 100G Flow Sensor is Cisco validated & certified and seamlessly integrates into the Cisco Secure Network Analytics (Stealthwatch) architecture to deliver unsampled Flow metadata for network segments where the switches and routers can’t generate NetFlow or when it is desirable to off-load intensive NetFlow processing impacts from performance-sensitive infrastructure.
The NetQuest 100G Flow Sensor enables organizations to extend the visibility of Cisco Secure Network Analytics and can be deployed alongside Cisco 10G and 40G Flow Sensors to acquire accurate and consistent unsampled metadata to provide definitive evidence for identifying, investigating, and responding to network security issues. Optional software-enabled advanced services extend the value of the platform while reducing TCO and operational complexities associated with managing multiple probes, sensors, and Network Packet Brokers.
The NetQuest100G Flow Sensor is an FPGA-based appliance purpose-built to deliver wire-speed unsampled Flow metadata and advanced packet processing services for high-performance 100G and 400G monitoring environments. The 1RU appliance supports up to 16x 100G ports and delivers 1:1 unsampled Flow data with up to 1.6 Tbps of IPFIX traffic processing and up to 800 million active flows per sensor for uncompromised security intelligence.
The 100G Flow Sensor seamlessly integrates into the Cisco Secure Network Analytics (Stealthwatch) and SecureX architecture enabling cost-effective visibility for 100G and 400G network segments. Cisco validated and certified, the NetQuest 100G Flow Sensor produces accurate and granular network telemetry and can be deployed alongside Cisco 10G and 40G Flow Sensors to achieve consistent visibility metrics.
Wire-Speed Deep Packet Inspection enables IPv4 and IPv6 traffic analysis inside tunnels and packet headers to reveal the inner IP payload for comprehensive metadata creation. Optional advanced services, such as wire-speed packet-flow delivery for packet-based tools, and application-level metadata are available from the same sensor leveraging investments, eliminating redundant tools, increasing platform value, and accelerating ROI.
