Foundry Networks, an end-to-end switching and routing solutions provider, and InMon Corp., a provider of traffic monitoring solutions, yesterday announced their partnership through Foundry's Security Alliance Program to provide network-wide security surveillance solutions based on sFlow, a technology for monitoring high-speed switched networks.
Foundry Networks claims that the sFlow technology embedded in its switch and router fabric and InMon Traffic Server provide unprecedented visibility into the Layer 2 through 7 traffic patterns to rapidly identify and locate hosts which have been compromised or are violating security policies. The lightweight sFlow capability embedded within every switch port exports sampled packet headers to the central Traffic Server. The Traffic Server includes a highly scalable traffic correlation engine that allows it to monitor tens of thousands of switch or router ports simultaneously, providing network-wide surveillance.
