Reinstating cloud visibility with deep packet inspection

Deep packet inspection software delivers cloud visibility by equipping analytics intermediaries with application awareness which can be used to select and forward cloud traffic to a wide range of monitoring, security and network management tools. For distributed applications hosted and delivered from different clouds, the analysis provided by R&S®PACE 2 ensures that no gaps are left unattended in managing and delivering critical applications. Likewise, R&S®PACE 2 enables further optimization of cloud security management by coupling inspection of traffic anomalies with application awareness.

DPI-enhanced CASB for tighter security in the cloud

As a middleman negotiating traffic flows between users on the ground and applications in the cloud, the importance of the cloud access security broker (CASB) continues to grow. But to be able to provide real-time insights, end-to-end visibility and accurate detection of threats and anomalies, DPI engines such as R&S®PACE 2 are a critical addition. By combining the capabilities of both the CASB and DPI, enterprises are sure to be safe as they move their work to the cloud.

Managing HetNets: How application awareness drives intelligent mobile data offloading decisions

Mobile data offloading helps operators optimize network capacity, improve network performance, enhance service quality and provide ubiquitous connectivity. Deep packet inspection is key in enabling intelligent traffic offloading: It offers real-time identification of the underlying traffic — whether it is latency-sensitive, mission-critical or bandwidth-intensive — paving the way for enhanced network performance, and service quality.

R&S®PACE 2: a lightweight DPI engine for big network performance gains

Performance vs. cost – Why is having a small memory footprint important for DPI deployed in virtualized and containerized environments? This article discusses the implications of a DPI engine with a small memory footprint on network and application performance, across virtualized and containerized architectures as well as the network functions into which it is embedded.
